Areesha Kids White Abaya for Girls: A front open abaya with a collared neck in Nida Matte
The Areesha in white is a front open abaya with a collared neck for girls from 5 to 14 years. White is the shade parents buy for Eid, Umrah and family functions, and it is the one shade that works with every hijab colour she owns. 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 Front Open Is The Easiest Style For A Child
A front open abaya is the one you buy if she dresses herself. Nothing has to go over her head and nothing catches on a hijab. It also doubles as a light outer layer over a kurta or a school dress, so it earns its place in the wardrobe twice. The collar keeps it looking neat even without a scarf.
Key Features
- Front open placket: easy to get on and off without help
- Collared neckline: looks finished with or without a hijab
- Long sleeves: full arm coverage
- Plain A-line fall: floor-length coverage with no bulk
- 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 white 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 White Abaya
A white abaya for girls is the Eid, Umrah and family-function pick. It photographs better than any other shade and it never clashes with a hijab or a dupatta. Nida Matte is fully opaque, which is the whole reason a white abaya works at all: a thin white fabric is not modest, and this one is not thin.
It does need more care than a dark shade. Wash it on its own and never with colors, and dry it in shade rather than direct sun so it stays white instead of going cream. See the full color run on the Areesha kids abaya. The matching Areesha kids black abaya is listed separately.
How To Style It
Keep the hijab white or in one soft contrasting shade, and stick to plain flats or sandals. A white abaya needs nothing added to it.
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 white on its own, never with coloured clothes, and dry in shade so it does not go cream
- 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.

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
Can it be worn as a layer over other clothes?
Yes. Because it opens at the front it works as a light coat over a kurta or a school dress.
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.
