Why this umbrella burqa dress works

The lace is applied in panels that follow the circle cut, so it stretches with the flare instead of pulling flat against it. It is a tonal lace, matched to the body color, which keeps the piece wearable rather than occasion-only.

We make this umbrella burqa dress 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 umbrella burqa dress is designed to fall loose.

SizeBust (inches)Lengths available
XS3252 / 54 / 56
S3452 / 54 / 56
M3652 / 54 / 56 / 58
L3854 / 56 / 58
XL4054 / 56 / 58 / 60
2XL4256 / 58 / 60
3XL4456 / 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 umbrella burqa dress 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

Because the lace already carries texture, a plain hijab and plain shoes are enough. This is the piece to reach for when you want an umbrella burqa dress that does not look like everyone elses.

A quick rule that applies to this umbrella burqa dress 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 umbrella burqa dress 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.

umbrella burqa dress FAQs

Is this umbrella burqa dress see-through?

No. The Nida Matte used for this umbrella burqa dress 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 umbrella burqa dress 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 umbrella burqa dress does not pool at the floor, which is what makes a flared cut look heavy.

Can I wash this umbrella burqa dress 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 umbrella burqa dress 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.

    Still soft after two washes, no pilling. Nice to find bigger sizes too.
