Why Choose a Black Khimar Abaya
Black is the most searched abaya color in India for a reason. A black abaya hides creases and small marks through a long day, suits every skin tone and goes with any hijab you already own, from a plain black one to a printed or embroidered one for a function. This khimar abaya is cut from opaque matte Nida, so the black stays deep and non-shiny instead of turning grey in daylight. Many families still call it a black burqa: it is the same full length modest garment.
Keeping it deep black: wash it inside out in cold water with a dark-color detergent, keep it away from bleach and dry it in shade. Drying in direct sun is what fades black fabric fastest.

Adult Abaya Size Guide
These are the final garment measurements you will receive, including ease and margin. All measurements are in inches.
| Size | XS | S | M | L | XL | 2XL | 3XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Choosing Your Length
Length is a separate option so the abaya clears your ankle without dragging. Pick it from your height, then pick your size independently. All five lengths are available in every size and every color:
| Your Height | Choose Length |
|---|---|
| 5’0″ / 152 cm | 52 inches abaya |
| 5’2″ / 158 cm | 54 inches abaya |
| 5’4″ / 165 cm | 56 inches abaya |
| 5’6″ / 171 cm | 58 inches abaya |
| 5’8″ / 177 cm | 60 inches abaya |
Pick the size that gives you the most comfortable fit across the shoulders and chest. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one. If you are taller than 5’8″ or want a length outside this table, we stitch to order. The full abaya size chart has every measurement.
How To Wear It
Put on the abaya first, then drape the khimar over your head so it falls evenly over the shoulders and chest. It is ready for salah in seconds, and works just as well outside with a pair of flats. Browse more khimar abayas to compare styles.
Care
Cold machine wash with similar colors, or hand wash. Wash dark colors separately for the first few washes. Do not bleach or wring. Dry in shade, never in direct sunlight, and iron on the reverse side at a low temperature so the matte finish stays flat. Package contains the khimar and abaya set only, without the other accessories (if any) shown in the pictures.
Custom Sizing
We stitch to order. For extra length, a wider cut, or a color that is not listed, message us on WhatsApp at +91 8076494232 with your chest, waist and length and we will confirm price and timeline first. For returns, keep the garment unworn, unwashed and tagged, and contact us before sending it back.
Questions About This Black Khimar Abaya
What is a khimar abaya? It is a set of a khimar (a long head and chest covering) and an abaya worn together. It is also searched as an abaya khimar set.
Is this a prayer abaya? Yes. The plain cut and full coverage make it a prayer dress you can also wear out of the house.
What comes in the package? One khimar and one abaya. A nose piece is not included in this 2 piece set.
Which size should I pick? Pick the abaya size from your chest measurement and the length from your height. The khimar is a free fit.
Will the black fade after washing? Not with normal care. Nida Matte holds dye well. Wash it cold, inside out, and dry it in shade, and it stays deep black for years.
Is black too hot for an Indian summer? Nida Matte is light and breathable, and a loose cut lets air move.
