Areesha Kids Black Abaya for Girls: A front open abaya with a collared neck in Nida Matte
The Areesha in black is a front open abaya with a collared neck 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 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 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 Areesha kids abaya. The matching Areesha 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
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.
