Which fabric should you choose for a size 52 abaya?

In summer, go for a linen-look or viscose size 52 abaya; in spring and autumn, crepe or gabardine; in winter, a thicker fabric. A fabric that matches the season keeps you at a comfortable temperature and drapes to cover the body neatly. Thin fabrics add no bulk, so they look balanced in larger sizes, while with thicker fabrics an A-line cut gives freedom of movement. Linen-look: airy in summer and fresh in light colours. Crepe: wearable most of the year and resists creasing. Gabardine: blocks the wind and keeps a tidy line. Hooded styles: protect your hijab in the rain.

How do you pick the right size?

Compare your bust and hip measurements with the size chart, and leave extra room if you plan to wear a chunky jumper underneath in winter. For more options, browse our plus size abayas.
