Why this Front Open Piping Abaya works

The overlay falls from the shoulder like a shrug and is attached at the yoke, so it moves with you rather than shifting out of place. Piping outlines both the overlay and the front opening, which is what keeps two layers from blurring into each other.
We make this front open piping abaya ourselves rather than buying it in, so the fit, the fabric weight and the finishing are all under our control. That is the difference you feel in the first wash.

Nida Matte fabric

Every piece in this range is cut from Nida Matte, and that is a deliberate choice rather than a cost one. Nida Matte is a premium-weight polyester crepe with a flat, non-reflective surface. It does not shine under camera flash or tube light, which is the single most common complaint about cheaper abaya fabrics.
It also holds its drape. The fabric falls straight down from the shoulder instead of clinging to the body, and it resists creasing, so it survives a day out or a long journey without needing an iron. It is opaque enough to wear without a slip, which matters in lighter colors where thin fabrics turn transparent in daylight.
Size and length guide
Pick your size from the bust measurement, then pick your length from your height. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one, because this front open piping abaya is designed to fall loose.
| Size | Bust (inches) | Lengths available |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 32 | 52 / 54 / 56 |
| S | 34 | 52 / 54 / 56 |
| M | 36 | 52 / 54 / 56 / 58 |
| L | 38 | 54 / 56 / 58 |
| XL | 40 | 54 / 56 / 58 / 60 |
| 2XL | 42 | 56 / 58 / 60 |
| 3XL | 44 | 56 / 58 / 60 |
For length, take your height as the guide. A 52 inch abaya suits roughly 5 feet 0 inches, 54 inches suits 5 feet 2 inches, 56 inches suits 5 feet 4 inches, 58 inches suits 5 feet 6 inches and 60 inches suits 5 feet 8 inches and above.
Color options
Use the color selector above to see every shade this front open piping abaya is currently made in. Because each piece is stitched after you order, the color list is real availability and not leftover stock.
If the color you want is not listed, message us on WhatsApp. We can usually match a specific shade in Nida Matte on request.
How to style it

The layered overlay means you do not need a separate cardigan or shrug. Wear it as-is and let the two layers do the styling.
A quick rule that applies to this front open piping abaya and to most abayas: let one element lead. If the garment carries the detail, keep the hijab, bag and shoes plain. If you want a patterned hijab, choose the plainest piece in your wardrobe to put it with.
Care instructions
Nida Matte is low maintenance, which is most of the reason we use it. Follow these and this front open piping abaya will hold its color and drape for years.
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash with a mild detergent.
- Wash dark and light colors separately for the first two washes.
- Do not bleach and do not use fabric softener on the matte finish.
- Do not wring. Press the water out gently and hang to dry in shade.
- Iron on low heat from the inside out if needed. Nida Matte rarely needs it.
