Rimayah Kids Black Abaya for Girls: A casual loose fit plain abaya in Nida Matte
The Rimayah in black is a casual loose fit plain abaya for girls from 5 to 14 years. Black is the shade that gets worn most: it goes with every hijab, hides a full school or madrasa day and never looks out of place. Cut in five age-based sizes.
It is made in premium Nida Matte fabric, the soft matte weave we use across the collection. Nida Matte is opaque, light on the skin, drapes straight without clinging and barely creases through a full day out.
Why Plain Is The Point
Nothing here fades unevenly, nothing needs careful ironing, and nothing stops it going in the wash twice a week. This is the abaya parents reorder for daily school and madrasa wear once they have bought one occasion piece. Buy the loose fit a size up and it covers two school years.
Key Features
- Plain loose cut: no detailing to catch, snag or date
- Round neckline: sits neatly under a hijab or scarf
- Long sleeves: full arm coverage
- Pull-on styling: no zip to fight with
- Premium Nida Matte fabric: soft, lightweight, fully opaque and skin-friendly
Which Size For Her Age? Sizing From 5 To 14 Years
Do not 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.
| Size | Age | Chest (in) | Waist (in) | Length (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-6 Years | 5 and 6 year olds | 26 | 23 | 38 |
| 7-8 Years | 7 and 8 year olds | 28 | 25 | 40 |
| 9-10 Years | 9 and 10 year olds | 30 | 26 | 42 |
| 11-12 Years | 11 and 12 year olds | 32 | 28 | 44 |
| 13-14 Years | 13 and 14 year olds | 34 | 30 | 46 |
Buying a kids black 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 an 11 or 12 year old girl take 11-12 Years at 32 inch chest and 44 inch length, 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.
Why A Kids Black Abaya
A black abaya for girls is the one that gets worn most. It goes with every hijab, it hides a full school or madrasa day, and it never looks out of place. If you are buying one abaya rather than two, buy the black one.
It is also the lowest maintenance shade in the range. Wash darks separately for the first two or three washes and after that it can go in with the rest. See the full color run on the Rimayah kids abaya. The matching Rimayah kids white abaya is listed separately.
How To Style It
Black takes any hijab colour, so this is the one to pair with a bright or patterned scarf. Simple flats or sandals.
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
- Wash dark shades separately for the first two or three washes
- Hang on a wide hanger rather than folding, so the fall of the fabric is not creased
Need A Size That Is Not On The Chart?
We stitch to order. If your daughter is taller or broader than her age band suggests, needs a longer length, or is older than 14, message us on WhatsApp at +91 8076494232 with her chest, waist and length and we will confirm the price and timeline before you order.
Delivery Across India
We ship across India only, dispatched from our own facility with tracking from dispatch to delivery. Cash on delivery is available. Returns and exchanges follow our standard policy: keep the item unworn, unwashed and tagged, and contact us before sending it back.
Questions Parents Ask Before Ordering
Is it suitable for daily school wear?
Yes. This is the plainest cut we make and the one built for daily use.
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 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.

Plain Black Kids Abaya FAQs
Is this plain black kids abaya see-through?
No. The Nida Matte we use for this plain black kids abaya 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 plain black kids abaya 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 plain black kids abaya 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 plain black kids abaya in it.
