A White Gathered Abaya for Umrah, Eid and Prayer
White is the color many women choose for Umrah and Hajj, and for Eid, Jumu’ah and prayer at home. A white abaya looks fresh, stays cooler in the heat than dark colors and photographs beautifully for a family occasion. This gathered abaya is cut from opaque matte Nida, so it does not turn see-through the way thin white fabrics do. If you search for a white burqa, this is the same full length modest garment. For extra comfort, wear a light skin-tone inner underneath.
Keeping it white: wash it separately in cold water, skip chlorine bleach (it yellows the fibre over time), and dry it in shade. Treat any make-up or food marks straight away with a mild detergent.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | 37 | 39 | 41 | 43 | 45 | 47 | 50 |
| Waist | 35 | 37 | 39 | 41 | 43 | 45 | 48 |
| Hip | 43 | 45 | 47 | 49 | 51 | 53 | 56 |
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 |
Chest is the deciding measurement on this abaya. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one, because this loose fit is meant to sit away from the body rather than cling. 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
Worn with a matching hijab it is an easy everyday abaya dress, and the gathered chest and ruffle detailing keep it from looking plain. Browse more maxi abayas to compare cuts.
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 one abaya only, without the other accessories (if any) shown in the pictures.

Questions About This White Gathered Abaya
What is a gathered abaya? A gathered abaya adds ruffle detailing to a modest abaya cut, and is also searched as a frill abaya. This one pairs it with a high neck, a gathered chest and a loose fit maxi length.
Is this abaya loose fit? Yes. It is a loose fit maxi abaya, so it sits away from the body instead of clinging.
Are the elastic sleeves wudu friendly? Yes. The elastic sleeves stretch so you can push the sleeve up past the elbow and they settle back on their own.
Which size and length should I pick? Take your chest measurement for the size and your height for the length. They are separate options, so a 3XL at 52 inches or an XS at 60 inches are both available.
What should I wear under it? Any comfortable modest outfit. The loose cut means nothing shows through the silhouette.
Will the white show through? No. Nida Matte is an opaque fabric. In very bright sunlight a light skin-tone inner gives extra peace of mind.
Will it turn yellow after many washes? Not if you avoid chlorine bleach and dry it in shade. Those two habits keep white Nida white.
