Kids Abaya and Burqa for Girls, Made for Everyday Wear in India

Finding a kids abaya your daughter will actually keep on takes more than picking a colour. It has to be light enough
for an Indian summer, loose enough to run, sit and climb in, and plain enough to go from school to a family
gathering without a change of clothes.

That is what this range is built around: plain, loose-fit abayas and burqas for girls aged 5 to 14, cut in Nida
fabric with a wide colour choice and enough room that a growing child does not outgrow hers in a single season. And
if the size you need is not on our chart, we make it to order. Every order ships from within India, so there is no
customs delay and no surprise charge at the door.

Kids Abaya Size Chart: Age 5 to 14 Years

Measure your child rather than guessing from her school uniform size. Chest is the measurement that decides fit;
length simply needs to reach the ankle.

These are final garment measurements and already include wearing room, so there is no need to add anything for
comfort. If your child's 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.

How to measure at home in two minutes

Chest: run a tape around the fullest part of her chest, over a normal vest or t-shirt, keeping it level and not
pulled tight.
Waist: measure at the natural waist, the narrowest point above the hip.
Length: measure from the top of the shoulder straight down to the ankle bone. This is the length you want, not
her total height.

If you are buying for yourself as well, our full burqa and abaya
size chart covers adult chest, waist, hip and height-to-length sizing.

Need a Size That Is Not on the Chart? We Make It to Order

This is where we differ from most abaya stores in India. We stitch to order, so we are not limited to the five sizes
above or to standard adult sizing. If your daughter is taller or broader than her age band suggests, needs a longer
length, or falls outside the chart entirely, we will make it to her measurements.

The same applies across our full range. We regularly make abayas and burqas in extended sizes including 4XL, 5XL and
6XL, along with custom lengths and sleeve adjustments, which most ready-made sellers simply cannot supply.

To arrange a custom size, message us on WhatsApp at +91 8076494232 with the
style you want and the chest, waist and length measurements you need. We will confirm the price and the timeline
before you order.

Fabric: Why Our Kids Abayas Are Made in Nida

Nida is the standard fabric for abayas and burqas in India, and it is what we use across most of our collection,
including our kids range.

Nida is a soft, matte polyester weave. That composition is exactly why it performs: it drapes straight without
clinging to the body, resists creasing through a school day, holds its colour through repeated washing, and stays
comfortable against the skin in heat. It is opaque, which matters a great deal in an abaya, and it keeps its shape
rather than sagging after a few wears. For children, it also has the practical advantage of being genuinely
low-maintenance: a cold hand wash and a shade dry is the whole routine.

Crepe is the other fabric you will come across, and it is worth understanding before you buy. Crepe is thinner and
lighter than Nida, which makes it appealing in peak summer. The trade-off is opacity: in plain colours, lighter
crepe can be slightly see-through, which works against the point of an abaya. It also creases more readily. Crepe
suits printed and brighter abayas, and it suits the hottest weeks of the year. For a plain everyday abaya, Nida is
the better and more popular choice, and it is what we recommend for children.

Care Instructions

Kids clothing gets washed far more often than adult clothing. Treat these pieces gently and they will last through a
full growth spurt.

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Wash dark and bright colours separately for the first two or
three washes.
Do not bleach and do not dry clean.
Do not wring or twist. Press the water out gently, then hang to dry in shade. Direct sun fades colour,
particularly maroon, wine and navy.
Iron on medium heat or steam, inside out.
Hang on a wide hanger rather than folding, so the length does not crease across the middle.

Delivery and Returns Across India

We ship across India only. Orders are dispatched from our own facility and you can track your parcel from dispatch to
delivery. Cash on delivery is available on eligible pin codes.

If a size does not work out, returns and exchanges follow our standard returns policy: keep the item unworn and
unwashed with tags attached, and contact us before sending it back so we can arrange the pickup or exchange.
Made-to-order and custom-size pieces are stitched specifically for you, so please confirm your measurements with us
on WhatsApp before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is a kids abaya suitable for?
Our kids abayas and burqas fit girls from 5 to 14 years, in two-year age bands cut loose for growing room. Sizes
outside this range are available made to order.

What is the difference between a kids abaya and a kids burqa?
In everyday Indian usage the two words describe the same full-length outer garment. Abaya is the more common term in
the Gulf, burqa in South Asia. Our kids listings use both so you find them either way.

Which size should I pick if my daughter is between two sizes?
Take the larger size. A kids abaya is designed to hang loose, so the extra room is comfortable rather than sloppy.

Can you make a size that is not on the chart?
Yes. We stitch to order and can make custom sizes and lengths, including extended sizes. Message us on WhatsApp with
your measurements.

Are kids abayas suitable for school?
Yes. Plain Nida abayas are the most practical option for daily school wear, since they resist creasing, wash easily
and need no special handling.

Can I match a kids abaya with a hijab?
The plain designs in this range pair with any hijab or khimar colour, which is why plain shades remain the most
popular choice for regular wear.
What Is In This Kids Abaya Collection
Three styles make up the range right now. The Amira tiered frill abaya for girls is the occasion piece, cut in graduated frill tiers across five age bands from 5 to 14 years. The Rimayah loose fit kids burqa is the plain everyday option for school and madrasa, sized 4 to 14. The Areesha front open kids abaya has a collared neck and opens fully at the front, which makes it the easiest one to get a younger child into.
