Pleated Abayas – Long & Flowing

What look does a pleated abaya create?

A pleated abaya elongates the silhouette with its vertical folds and comes alive as you walk. The pleats usually sit in the skirt or across the back, so the top stays smooth while volume builds towards the hem. Plissé texture looks richer than plain fabric, and in lighter materials it flutters softly in the breeze.

Pleated skirt: creates a silhouette that flares from the waist.
Pleated back: adds movement behind while the front stays clean.
Plissé sleeves: bring texture and volume to the arms.
Chiffon pleats: light and airy for summer gatherings.
Crepe pleats: hold their shape for longer.

How do I care for a pleated abaya?

Wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang it to dry without wringing so the pleats keep their form. If it needs ironing, press along the pleats with a cloth in between. Discover every style in our abaya collection.
