Abaya for Women – Women’s Abayas & Abaya Dresses

Women’s Abayas for Everyday Wear and Special Occasions

An abaya is a long, loose-fitting outer garment traditionally worn by Muslim women as part of modest Islamic dress. Today, women’s abayas are available in a wide range of cuts, colors and finishes suitable for daily activities, work, the masjid, family gatherings, Eid celebrations and other special occasions.

Alhannah offers both traditional and contemporary abaya dresses, including simple everyday designs and more decorative styles with embroidery, lace, beadwork, contrasting trim or patterned fabric. Individual product pages provide details about the fabric, closure, fit, measurements and available sizes.

Choose the Right Abaya Style

Zip-Front Abayas

Zip-front abayas are convenient for everyday dressing and can also provide easier access for nursing. Some styles feature full-length front zippers, while others use partial zippers or additional decorative closures. Check the individual description to confirm how each abaya opens.

Pull-Over and Closed Abayas

Pull-over abayas provide a simple, continuous silhouette without a full front opening. These styles can be practical for prayer, errands and everyday modest wear. Designs range from plain and understated to colorful or embroidered.

Open Abayas

Open abayas are designed for layering over a dress, skirt, trousers or coordinating inner garment. Some open styles include a matching belt or underdress, while others are sold as the outer abaya only. Each product listing explains exactly what is included.

Black and Embroidered Abayas

A classic black abaya is a versatile choice for everyday wear, while embroidered and embellished abayas add decorative detail for Eid, weddings, dinners and family gatherings. Our collection also includes abayas in jewel tones, neutrals, pastels and patterned fabrics.

How to Select Your Abaya Size

Alhannah has supplied women’s Islamic clothing, including abayas, to customers since 1999. Because abaya sizing can vary considerably by manufacturer, fabric and cut, we provide actual garment measurements on individual product pages whenever available. Compare these measurements with a similar loose-fitting garment you already own rather than relying only on the size printed on the garment tag. Our staff can also help customers compare measurements and choose between open, zip-front, pull-over and other abaya styles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Abayas

What is an abaya?

An abaya is a long, loose-fitting garment worn by many Muslim women as part of modest Islamic clothing. Abayas may be worn as an outer garment or as a complete dress, depending on the design and opacity of the fabric.

What is the difference between an open and closed abaya?

An open abaya opens down the front and is generally worn over another garment. A closed abaya is sewn closed through most or all of the front and is commonly pulled over the head or opened with a partial zipper.

Are Alhannah abayas available in plus sizes?

Many of our women’s abayas are offered in extended US sizes, but size availability varies by design. Use the size filter to see current options and check the measurements provided on each product page.

Does an abaya include a hijab, belt or underdress?

Included pieces vary by product. Unless the description specifically states that a hijab, belt, underdress or other accessory is included, those items should be considered separate. Always review the individual product description before purchasing.
