Designers with Story to Tell – HeraCloset Online
Every religion has its dress code. The Islamic tradition requires the women of its community to be modest in their dress. As such, the abaya and the hijab define a Muslim woman’s attire. Although the abaya is an example of conservative clothing, it need not lack luster. Modern designs and styles have made it possible for women to showcase their personal styles without showing any disregard for their beliefs and religion.

For those of you unaware of what an abaya is, it is a long-sleeve, loose-fitting robe designed to be worn over regular clothing. It resembles a caftan in its design. It is paired with a head scarf called a hijab. This cloak-like garment has different names depending on the country such as ‘Burqa’ in South Asia and a ‘Chador’ in Iran.
Traditionally, all abayas were made in black colored fabrics. Black is still the preferred color in most Muslim countries; however, they are also available in an array of other colors as long as they do not attract unnecessary attention. Women prefer earthy tones over bold colors. Along with solid colors, women have also started experimenting with printed fabrics.
Abaya style
The abaya must cover the entire length of the arm. Thus, although designers cannot do much with the length, they are tailoring sleeves in different shapes. They are also available in a range of basic and luxurious designs. While most are made in a straight fit from top to bottom, a few are more fitted at the higher and lower waist. They either come stitched in that style or feature a separate sash or belt that fits tight around the waist. There are designs with high collars and a flare fit too.
They are made in a variety of light fabrics such as cotton, crepe, georgette silk, chiffon and rayon. Silk and chiffon give the best looks owing to the rich and luxuriant fabrics. You can choose one that offers the highest level of comfort.
