Why this Plain Umbrella Abaya works
No print, no lace, no embroidery. The belt threads through side loops and cinches wherever you want it, which means you can wear this loose and flowing or defined at the waist without altering anything.
We make this plain umbrella abaya ourselves rather than buying it in, so the fit, the fabric weight and the finishing are all under our control. That is the difference you feel in the first wash.

Nida Matte fabric
Every piece in this range is cut from Nida Matte, and that is a deliberate choice rather than a cost one. Nida Matte is a premium-weight polyester crepe with a flat, non-reflective surface. It does not shine under camera flash or tube light, which is the single most common complaint about cheaper abaya fabrics.
It also holds its drape. The fabric falls straight down from the shoulder instead of clinging to the body, and it resists creasing, so it survives a day out or a long journey without needing an iron. It is opaque enough to wear without a slip, which matters in lighter colors where thin fabrics turn transparent in daylight.
Size and length guide
Pick your size from the bust measurement, then pick your length from your height. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one, because this plain umbrella abaya is designed to fall loose.
| Size | Bust (inches) | Lengths available |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 32 | 52 / 54 / 56 |
| S | 34 | 52 / 54 / 56 |
| M | 36 | 52 / 54 / 56 / 58 |
| L | 38 | 54 / 56 / 58 |
| XL | 40 | 54 / 56 / 58 / 60 |
| 2XL | 42 | 56 / 58 / 60 |
| 3XL | 44 | 56 / 58 / 60 |
For length, take your height as the guide. A 52 inch abaya suits roughly 5 feet 0 inches, 54 inches suits 5 feet 2 inches, 56 inches suits 5 feet 4 inches, 58 inches suits 5 feet 6 inches and 60 inches suits 5 feet 8 inches and above.
Color options
Use the color selector above to see every shade this plain umbrella abaya is currently made in. Because each piece is stitched after you order, the color list is real availability and not leftover stock.
If the color you want is not listed, message us on WhatsApp. We can usually match a specific shade in Nida Matte on request.
How to style it
The plainest piece in the range and the most versatile. Pair with a patterned hijab when you want color, or keep everything tonal for a quiet, put-together look.
A quick rule that applies to this plain umbrella abaya and to most abayas: let one element lead. If the garment carries the detail, keep the hijab, bag and shoes plain. If you want a patterned hijab, choose the plainest piece in your wardrobe to put it with.
Care instructions
Nida Matte is low maintenance, which is most of the reason we use it. Follow these and this plain umbrella abaya will hold its color and drape for years.
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash with a mild detergent.
- Wash dark and light colors separately for the first two washes.
- Do not bleach and do not use fabric softener on the matte finish.
- Do not wring. Press the water out gently and hang to dry in shade.
- Iron on low heat from the inside out if needed. Nida Matte rarely needs it.

We ship across India. Prepaid orders go out fastest, and cash on delivery is available. If you want a custom length, a specific sleeve width, or a color you cannot see listed, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will confirm whether we can make it.
Plain Umbrella Abaya FAQs
Is this plain umbrella abaya see-through?
No. The Nida Matte used for this plain umbrella abaya is opaque in every color we offer, including the lighter tones. You do not need to wear a slip underneath it.
How do I choose the right size?
Go by your bust measurement in the size table above, then pick length by your height. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, since this plain umbrella abaya is meant to fall loose rather than fitted.
Will the flare look too heavy on a shorter frame?
It will not, provided you pick the right length. Order the shortest length that clears your ankle so the plain umbrella abaya does not pool at the floor, which is what makes a flared cut look heavy.
Can I wash this plain umbrella abaya at home?
Yes. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent, then hang to dry in shade. The matte finish does not need dry cleaning.
How long does delivery take?
This plain umbrella abaya is made to order, so allow 2 to 4 working days for stitching plus shipping time to your pin code. Cash on delivery is available.

Nice product. My length was in stock, just not the colour I wanted.
Mst Aeliya (verified owner) –
Used for two weeks now. The fabric was stiff at first and softer after washing. Not see-through. Good product. This length is fine, but next time I’ll get 56 for heels.
