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 simple 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.
A White Abaya for Umrah and Hajj
White is the traditional choice for Umrah and Hajj, and most families travelling with a daughter dress her in white too. It is customary rather than required, and it stays cooler under the Makkah sun. The Areesha suits those long days of tawaf and sa’i because it is loose, long-sleeved and fully opaque, so she can walk, sit and pray in it comfortably. If you are travelling, order two so one is always washed and ready, and tell us your travel date on WhatsApp so we can stitch in time.
Wearing It for Eid, Jumu’ah and Prayer
Beyond Umrah, white is the colour families choose for Eid mornings, Friday prayers, taraweeh in Ramadan and family nikahs. Pair the Areesha with a white or pastel hijab for a clean, bright look in photos, or with a soft pink or beige hijab if you want a little colour.
Keeping a White Abaya White
- Wash it on its own in cold water. Never mix it with coloured clothes, even once
- Treat ink, food and mud marks the same day, before they set
- Avoid chlorine bleach, which turns Nida yellow over time
- Dry in shade, not direct sun, so it does not go cream
- Store it in a cotton bag or on a hanger, not sealed in plastic
Ordering for Umrah or Eid?
Every piece is stitched after you order, so allow 2 to 4 working days plus shipping. If you need several sizes for sisters or a longer length for a tall girl, WhatsApp +91 8076494232 with her measurements. Cash on delivery is available across India.
Areesha Kids White Abaya: Questions
Will the white show through?
No. Our Nida Matte is fully opaque, so she does not need anything under it beyond her normal clothes.
Will it turn yellow after many washes?
Not if you wash it separately, skip chlorine bleach and dry it in shade. Yellowing almost always comes from bleach or strong sun.
Should I buy a size up?
If she is near the top of her age band, yes. The abaya is cut loose, and one size up usually lasts a full year of growth.
Is there a black version?
Yes. The Areesha kids black abaya is the same cut in black, made for daily wear.
