Hania 2-Piece Kids Abaya Set for Girls: An Open Front Shrug Over A Tiered White Dress
Some days a child doesn’t want a single abaya, she wants an outfit. The Hania is a 2 piece kids abaya set that gives her one: an open front, kimono style outer layer in your choice of colour, worn over a white tiered inner dress that falls to just above the knee. The two pieces work as a set, so nothing gets mismatched or misplaced in the wash. Five age-based sizes cover girls from 5 to 14 years.
The outer layer is cut in premium Nida fabric, the same soft matte weave used across our collection. It has no closure, no buttons and no zip. It is meant to hang open over the dress, with wide, gently flared sleeves and a soft tiered flare through the body that moves easily when she walks or plays.
What’s In The Set
- Outer layer: open front kimono style abaya, full length, tiered flare through the body, wide sleeves, in your choice of colour
- Inner dress: white, tiered design falling to just above the knee, worn underneath the outer layer
- Sold as a matched 2-piece set – the outer colour and the white inner dress arrive together
Why A 2-Piece Abaya Set Instead Of A Single Abaya
A single plain abaya is one look. A kids abaya set is two, because the open front shrug abaya reads as the layer and the white dress reads as the outfit underneath. That is the difference between something she wears because she has to and something she picks out herself for Eid or a family function.
The open front also solves the practical problem. There is nothing to pull over her head and nothing to fasten, so a five year old can get into it without help and a ten year old never needs asking. And because the outer piece never closes, it does not pull or gape as she grows through the year – it simply hangs open, which is how it is meant to sit.
Key Features
- Open front: no zip and no buttons, drapes open over the inner dress
- Tiered silhouette: soft horizontal tiers through both the outer layer and the inner dress, for movement and flare
- Sleeves: wide, flared long sleeves on the outer piece
- Premium Nida fabric: soft, lightweight, opaque and skin-friendly, with excellent drape and minimal wrinkling
- White tiered inner dress included, cut to just above the knee
- 17 colours for the outer layer, each paired with the white inner dress
- Five age-based sizes from 5 to 14 years
Which Size 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 for the outer layer and already include wearing room; the white inner dress is cut to match the size you choose.
| Size | Age | Chest (in) | Length (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-6 Years | 5 and 6 year olds | 26 | 38 |
| 7-8 Years | 7 and 8 year olds | 28 | 40 |
| 9-10 Years | 9 and 10 year olds | 30 | 42 |
| 11-12 Years | 11 and 12 year olds | 32 | 44 |
| 13-14 Years | 13 and 14 year olds | 34 | 46 |
Buying an abaya set for a 5 or 6 year old girl, take the 5-6 Years size: 26 inch chest and 38 inch length. An abaya for a 7 or 8 year old girl is the 7-8 Years size, 28 inch chest and 40 inch length. For a 9 or 10 year old, the 9-10 Years size at 30 inch chest and 42 inch length. An abaya for a 12 year old girl is the 11-12 Years size, 32 inch chest and 44 inch length, and for a 13 or 14 year old take 13-14 Years 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.
17 Colours For The Outer Layer
Every colour choice applies to the open front outer layer; the inner dress is always white, which is what makes the set read as an outfit rather than two separate abayas.
The Hania comes in beige, black, bottle green, coffee brown, French blue, grey, grey olive, jade green, maroon, mustard, navy blue, olive green, puce pink, silver, teal green, violet and wine.
Black is the safe pick because it goes with every hijab and hides a long day, and maroon is the one that moves fastest around Eid. Deep shades such as black, navy blue, wine and bottle green are the practical everyday choices. Lighter and brighter shades like beige, silver, puce pink and mustard photograph beautifully against the white inner dress for Eid and family functions, but need a little more care in the wash.
How To Style It
Let the outer layer hang open as it is designed to – it is not meant to be belted or pinned shut. Pair it with a hijab in either the outer colour or plain white to pick up the inner dress, and keep the shoes simple with flats or sandals. The tiers already give the outfit its movement, so nothing else needs adding.
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 on a wide hanger rather than folding, so the tiers do not crease
Ideal For
School, madrasa, everyday wear, family gatherings, Eid, and daily prayer wear. Because the outer layer slips straight on with nothing to fasten, it is also the easiest style in her cupboard for wudu and prayer time.

Questions Parents Ask Before Ordering
Is this really two pieces?
Yes. You receive an open front kimono style outer abaya in the colour you choose and a white tiered inner dress, sold together as one matched set.
What age is this abaya set 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.
Does the outer abaya close at the front?
No, and that is deliberate. There is no zip and no buttons – the kimono layer hangs open over the inner dress, which is what gives the set its shape.
How long is the inner dress?
It falls to just above the knee, so it sits well inside the full-length outer layer.
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.
Is this suitable for daily school wear?
Yes. Nida barely creases and washes easily, so a darker outer shade works for daily school and madrasa wear as well as for occasions.
Will the tiers flatten after washing?
Not if you hang it rather than folding it. The tiers are cut into the fabric, so a cold hand wash, a shade dry on a wide hanger and an iron inside out keeps the flare intact.
More From Our Kids Range
This is one style from our full kids abaya collection, where you can compare every abaya for girls we make side by side. If she would rather have a single piece with the same tiered flare, look at the Amira tiered frill abaya. For the plainest everyday option see the Rimayah kids burqa, and for a front-opening style she can manage herself there is the Areesha front open kids abaya.
Want the same layered idea in an adult size? Our two piece abaya sets pair an outer layer with an inner piece the same way, and the front open abaya range covers every open-front cut we stitch.
Every kimono abaya for kids we make is checked at the hem, the sleeve and the seams before dispatch, because a kimono abaya for kids that fails at the stitching is worse than none at all.
Shrug Abaya for Kids FAQs
Is this shrug abaya for kids see-through?
No. The Nida Matte we use for this shrug abaya for kids is fully opaque in every color, including the lightest ones, so nothing is needed underneath.
How do I pick the right size?
Go by the age and chest measurement in the size table on this page. If she is between two bands, take the larger one, because this shrug abaya for kids is cut loose on purpose.
Can I machine wash it?
Yes. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent. Do not wring. Press the water out gently and hang to dry in shade.
How long does delivery take?
Every shrug abaya for kids is stitched after you order, so allow 2 to 4 working days for stitching plus shipping to your pin code. Cash on delivery is available.
Can I get a color that is not listed?
Usually yes. Message us on WhatsApp with the shade you want and we will confirm whether we can make this shrug abaya for kids in it.
