Abaya size guide: which size is right for you?

Why is the right size so important?

A well-fitting abaya drapes beautifully and gives you an elegant look. Too small and the abaya pulls; too large and it loses its shape. With this size guide, you can easily find the right size for your HBYA abaya.

How to measure yourself?

For the correct abaya size, you need three measurements:

  • Length — measure from your shoulder to the floor (or to where you want the abaya to fall)
  • Bust circumference — measure around the widest part of your bust
  • Hip circumference — measure around the widest part of your hips

Tip: measure yourself as you intend to wear the abaya.

HBYA Abaya Size Chart

Our abayas are available in sizes S to XXL. Use the table below as a guideline:

  • S — length 155–160 cm | bust 84–88 cm
  • M — length 160–165 cm | bust 88–92 cm
  • L — length 165–170 cm | bust 92–96 cm
  • XL — length 170–175 cm | bust 96–102 cm
  • XXL — length 175–180 cm | bust 102–108 cm

Hesitating between two sizes?

Always choose the larger size. An abaya should be loose-fitting — that's the intention. An abaya that is too small pulls and is uncomfortable.

Special lengths

Are you shorter than 155 cm or taller than 180 cm? Our abayas have a standard length that fits most women well. You can easily have the abaya shortened by a tailor if needed.
