Abaya FAQs

What is an abaya?

An abaya is a traditional modest garment that is worn by Muslim women, sometimes called a Burqa.

Abayas typically feature a loose-fitting design to allow for free movement and provide modesty.

They come in a variety of designs, from simple everyday styles to embellished garments for special occasions.

Why buy abayas from Bashariya vs. other abaya shops?

At Bashariya, we combine quality with style, offering a wide range of abayas for every customer and occasion. 

From everyday essentials to luxurious pieces for special events, each garment is thoughtfully created to offer both comfort and style. 

With an extensive selection to choose from, competitive prices, and great attention to detail, this sets us apart from other retailers​. 

How should I care for my abaya?

Please note: Any abaya with embellishments are handwash only!

To keep your abaya in great condition, hand wash your abaya with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid rubbing or wringing the garment to prevent damaging the material. 

If you would prefer to machine wash, place your abaya in a mesh laundry bag and put it in the machine on a delicate, cold wash. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or bleach to prevent fading or tearing.

Leave your abaya to air dry away from direct sunlight. Gently squeeze out any excess water and lay it on a flat surface or clothing rack. 

When ironing, turn your abaya inside out and iron the inside on a low heat setting. Place a piece of fabric or a thin towel over the abaya and iron over it to avoid heat damage.

How do I choose the right size abaya?

To make sure you choose the right size abaya, measure your height with measuring tape, starting from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. 

Then, measure your bust by wrapping the tape around your chest to the fullest part of your bust, ensuring it's parallel to the ground. After that, measure the narrowest part of your waist and the fullest part of your hips. 

You can compare these measurements to our size guide to find the perfect fit for you.
