Amira Kids Frill Abaya for Girls: A Tiered A-Line Frock Abaya She Will Actually Want To Wear

On This Page

Most abayas made for children are a straight, plain cut that a child grows tired of quickly. This kids frill abaya is built the opposite way: a fitted bodice flows into graduated frill tiers, so it moves with her instead of hanging flat. It reads as a party frock and still gives full modest coverage, which is exactly why it works for Eid and for a normal school day.

Why This Kids Frill Abaya Beats A Plain Cut

A tiered abaya takes its shape from layers of gathered fabric rather than a stiff cut, so it flares as she walks and never looks starched. The graduated tiers give the flow of a frock abaya without the weight of a heavy gown, and the A-line fall keeps it loose everywhere a growing child needs room.

That is the whole case for a kids frill abaya over a plain one. She gets a garment that feels like a dress; you get one that covers properly. It is the closest thing to a party frock that is still a proper abaya.

Key Features

  • Tiered A-line frill design: gathered frill tiers give soft volume and a flowing, modest silhouette
  • Zip opening at the chest: easy to get on and off without a struggle
  • Round neckline: sits neatly under a hijab or scarf
  • Long sleeves with button-cuff detail at the wrists for a finished look
  • Premium Nida fabric: soft, lightweight, opaque and skin-friendly, with excellent drape and minimal wrinkling
  • Floor-length hemline for full coverage
  • Made to order: every kids frill abaya is cut and stitched after you order, in the colour and size you pick
  • 18 colours and five age-based sizes, from 5 to 14 years

The Fabric: Why Nida

Every Amira is cut from premium Nida fabric, the soft matte weave we use across our collection. Nida is opaque, light on the skin, drapes straight without clinging and barely creases through a full day out. For a child that matters twice over: it survives being sat in, played in and washed often.

Nida also holds a frill. Cheaper polyester goes limp at the tier seams after a few washes, and that is what makes a frill abaya look tired within a season. This one keeps its volume because the fabric has enough body to hold the gather.

Which Size Kids Frill Abaya For Her Age? Sizing From 5 To 14 Years

Don’t go by her regular clothing size. Measure around the fullest part of her chest with a soft tape, and match that number to the chart below. Length only needs to reach the ankle. These are final garment measurements and already include wearing room.

Kids frill abaya size chart for girls 5 to 14 years with chest, waist and length in inches
Kids abaya size chart: measure her chest with a soft tape and match the age band.

Buying an abaya for a 6 year old girl or a 5 year old, take the 5-6 Years size: 26 inch chest and 38 inch length. For a 7 or 8 year old, the 7-8 Years size at 28 inch chest and 40 inch length. An abaya for a 10 year old girl is the 9-10 Years size, 30 inch chest and 42 inch length, and this is the size parents order most often. For a 12 year old girl take 11-12 Years, and for a 13 or 14 year old the 13-14 Years size at 34 inch chest and 46 inch length.

If her chest falls between two sizes, take the larger one. A kids abaya is meant to hang loose, and the extra room buys you another season of wear. Girls above 14 or outside the chart are covered by our made-to-order sizing further down this page, and the full burqa and abaya size chart lists every band we stitch.

18 Colours, Including The Ones Parents Ask For First

A black abaya for girls is still the most requested shade because it goes with every hijab and hides a school day, and maroon is the one that sells out around Eid. Beyond those two the Amira comes in beige, bottle green, coffee brown, French blue, grey, grey olive, jade green, mustard, navy blue, olive green, puce pink, silver, teal green, violet, white and wine.

Deep shades such as black, navy blue, wine and bottle green are the practical everyday picks. Lighter shades like beige, silver, white and puce pink photograph beautifully for Eid and family functions but need a little more care in the wash. Whichever you choose, the kids frill abaya is stitched in that shade for you rather than pulled off a shelf.

How To Style It

Pair it with a hijab in a matching or contrasting shade and simple flats or sandals. The frill tiers do the work, so keep the rest plain. For Eid, a lighter shade with a contrasting hijab photographs best.

Care Instructions

  • Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent; wash dark and bright shades separately for the first two or three washes
  • Do not bleach and do not dry clean
  • Do not wring. Press the water out gently and hang to dry in shade
  • Iron on medium heat or steam, inside out
  • Hang the kids frill abaya on a wide hanger rather than folding it, so the tiers do not crease

Questions Parents Ask Before Ordering

What age is this kids frill abaya for?
Girls from 5 to 14 years, in five two-year age bands cut loose for growing room. Sizes outside that range are made to order.

Which size should I order for a 10 year old?
The 9-10 Years size, 30 inch chest and 42 inch length. If she is broader or taller than average for her age, go up to 11-12 Years.

Is this kids frill abaya see-through?
No. Nida is fully opaque in every shade we stitch, including white, so nothing shows through and she does not need a slip underneath.

Is it suitable for daily wear?
Yes. Nida barely creases and washes easily, so a dark shade works for daily school and madrasa wear as well as for occasions.

Is it a burqa or an abaya?
The same garment. Abaya is the common term in the Gulf, burqa in South Asia, and both describe this full-length outer dress.

Will the frills fade or flatten after washing?
No, provided you hand wash in cold water and hang it to dry in shade on a wide hanger rather than folding it.

How long does delivery take?
Each kids frill abaya is stitched after you order, so allow 2 to 4 working days for stitching plus shipping time to your pin code.

    Delivery took about a week, a little late. Stitching is good but the thread along the bottom is a slightly different colour.
