Why this Striped Kaftan works

The problem with kaftans is that a wide, unseamed body can look like a tent. Vertical striping solves it: the lines give the eye something to follow top to bottom, so the shape reads long instead of wide.

We make this striped kaftan 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

This is a free-size striped kaftan, so there is no bust measurement to match. The only choice you make is length, and you pick that from your own height.

Color options

Use the color selector above to see every shade this striped kaftan 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

Striped Kaftan  styling and drape detail

The most flattering one in the range for that reason alone. Keep the hijab in one of the stripe tones.

A quick rule that applies to this striped kaftan 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 striped kaftan 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.

Striped Kaftan FAQs

Is this striped kaftan see-through?

No. The Nida Matte used for this striped kaftan is opaque in every color we offer, including the lighter tones. You do not need to wear a slip underneath it.

How do I choose the right size?

Go by your bust measurement in the size table above, then pick length by your height. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, since this striped kaftan is meant to fall loose rather than fitted.

Is this striped kaftan really one size?

Yes, it is free size. A kaftan has no waist seam and no fitted bodice, so the only thing you need to choose is length. Use the length guide on this page to match your height.

Can I wash this striped kaftan at home?

Yes. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent, then hang to dry in shade. The matte finish does not need dry cleaning.

How long does delivery take?

This striped kaftan is made to order, so allow 2 to 4 working days for stitching plus shipping time to your pin code. Cash on delivery is available.

    Fabric feels comfortable on the skin and isn’t see-through. Measured with the chart and got a good fit. I plan to order more. Thanks, Muslim Closet, a few details still need attention.

    I like the two colours, but the second shade is lighter than expected. Arrived a day late in good condition. Fit is okay; next time I’d go down a size for a closer fit. A few things could improve.

    Fit is good, sleeves are a little loose but I like that. Happy with it, just a few details to improve.
