Jilbab Abaya Online in India: Two Piece Jilbab and Khimar Sets
A jilbab abaya is a two piece set: a long outer abaya or skirt worn with a jilbab or khimar that covers the head, shoulders and chest in one continuous drape. Nothing has to be pinned and nothing gaps at the neck, which is why it is the set most women reach for when they want prayer-ready coverage without thinking about it. Every set on this page is cut and stitched in our own facility in India and shipped nationwide with cash on delivery on eligible pin codes.
Jilbab, Khimar or Abaya: What Is Actually Different
The three words get used interchangeably in India, so here is the plain version. An abaya is the full length outer dress on its own. A khimar is the cape-style head covering that falls over the chest, usually to the waist or hip. A jilbab is the longer version of that same idea, often reaching the knee or below, and it is what most people mean by a two piece jilbab abaya. Buy the two together and you have head-to-ankle coverage in two pieces instead of four.
Pick Your Bottom: Skirt or Inner Abaya
Our 2 piece jilbab sets let you choose what goes underneath. A flared skirt bottom moves more and is cooler through an Indian summer. An inner abaya bottom gives you a garment you can wear alone at home and then top with the jilbab when someone is at the door. If you are buying your first set, the inner abaya bottom is the more useful of the two because it doubles as everyday wear. Both options are also available separately in our two piece abaya collection.
Fabric: Why We Stitch These In Nida
Every jilbab set here is made in premium Nida, a soft matte polyester weave. It matters more on a jilbab than on any other garment because a jilbab has a lot of surface area falling over your chest and back. Nida is fully opaque so nothing shows through in daylight, it holds a straight drape instead of clinging, it barely creases through a full day out, and it does not shine in photographs the way cheaper crepe does. It also washes at home, which a heavily embroidered set does not.
Sizing a Two Piece Jilbab Set
Sizes run XS to 3XL. Chest decides the fit of the bottom piece, and length only needs to reach your ankle. The jilbab or khimar itself is one size in most designs because it is a drape, not a fitted garment, so the only measurement you really need to get right is your chest and your height. Full measurements in inches are on our burqa and abaya size chart. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one: a jilbab is meant to hang loose, and a tight one defeats the purpose.
When Women Actually Wear These
Namaz at home and in the masjid, because you can put the set on over what you are already wearing in under ten seconds. Travel and Umrah, because two pieces pack flatter than a stitched gown and one khimar covers several abayas. Madrasa and Quran classes. Visiting relatives. Anywhere you want full coverage that looks deliberate rather than improvised.
Care
Hand wash or machine wash cold with like colours, no bleach, and hang to dry in shade. Iron on medium heat or steam, inside out. Store a jilbab on a hanger rather than folded so the drape does not learn a crease line.
Need a Custom Length?
We stitch to order. If you are taller than 5 foot 8, need extra length, or want a set in a colour you do not see here, message us on WhatsApp at +91 8076494232 with your chest, waist and length and we will confirm the price and timeline before you order.
Jilbab Abaya Questions We Get Asked
Is a jilbab abaya the same as a burqa? In India burqa is the everyday word for the full length outer dress. A jilbab abaya is that dress plus a matching head-and-chest covering, sold as one set.
Does it include a niqab or face veil? No. Our jilbab sets cover the head, shoulders and chest. Face coverage is a separate piece.
Can I wear the pieces separately? Yes, and that is the point. The bottom works as a standalone abaya or skirt, and the jilbab layers over other abayas in the same colour family.
Is it too warm for summer? Nida is light and breathes better than crepe or heavy georgette. Choose the skirt bottom over the inner abaya bottom if heat is your main worry.
