Whenever you see other women looking so fabulous in their stylish abayas strutting down the street, you wish you could achieve that flawless fashionable look. When you are covered neck to toe in a shapeless black color abaya, feeling fabulous seems impossible! No need to worry. I will share easy tips to transform your abaya to look modest and stylish.
Proper Sleeves Length
The sleeve length of the abaya dress is very important! Having large sleeve length on abayas going way past your wrists causes problems. Imagine the issue of constantly pulling the extra sleeves out of your dinner plate or cup of tea! On the flip side, tiny sleeves may look cute but lead to sunburned skin when outdoors. The perfect sleeve length should end precisely at your wrist – not an inch above or below. This lets your arms move freely without fear of getting stains on the sleeves or sun burns on the arms.
Avoid Layering the Dress
When you see a woman wearing large and many layered Islamic clothing, she looks lost in that clothing! If you have a tiny body frame, selecting a flowy, oversized and layered abaya will totally hide your gorgeous body. Avoid styles that has extra fabric or many layers of clothing, making you appear small and feels like the dress is overpowering the women. Instead, seek abayas fitting slimly on your shoulders without overflowing material at your feet. For flair, pick a flowy abaya with a belt to define your waist.
Sweeping the Abaya Dress is not an Good Idea
Avoid abaya dress sweeping across the floor. Though eye-catching, all that excess dress length around your feet poses tripping dangers. If the abaya dress length is small with barely touching the ankles then such limited coverage doesn’t look modest. The most fabulous abaya length should fall just a little bit below your ankles.
Correct Fit
When you buy an abaya dress, pick one made of loose fabric that falls nicely around your body shape. Do not get a tight abaya that sticks to your curves too much. Even if very stylish, such tight-fitting abayas do not properly cover your body. Instead, get a regular, modest abaya that loosely drapes over you. Then accentuate your waist by wearing a sparkly belt on top – this makes the outfit elegant while still being appropriate! But before buying, carefully measure your height, waist, hips and other sizes. Also try on other abayas you already have that fit well.
Embroidery Work
Beautiful decorations like embroidery, crystals, beads, and needlework make abayas look richer and more colorful. When buying an abaya online, check the product photos very closely to see the embroidery quality before ordering. Focus on precision and closeness of the stitching, and neatness of placed crystals and beads. If the added decorations are attached poorly to the fabric, with loose threads and crooked lines, then do not buy that abaya.
