Hijaab & Clothing - Simple and Modest Dresses for Muslimaat

When the verse "That they should cast their outer garments over their persons" was revealed, the women of Ansar came out as if they had crows over their heads by wearing outer garments.

(Abu Dawud, Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin)

Shaamilah overhead abaya is a closed overhead style with loose sleeves from the wrist to the elbow for added convenience. The abaya rests on top of the head to provide all the coverage you could ask for and is made of superior lightweight Japanese crepe fabric making it a great choice, especially for warm climates.

'Aadilah black on black sleeved butterfly abaya features a 8" mini-sleeve from the wrist to the elbow and a seam that runs from the elbow to the bottom of the abaya creating a ripple (butterfly) effect along the sides of the garment.

The open style of this abaya makes it a great overgarment and perfect for breastfeeding women. The abaya comes with a matching hijab.

Plain Flared Sleeve abaya is the must-have abaya for every Muslimah's wardrobe. The abaya is designed very simply with an elegant curved V-neck and flared sleeves. It also features two tassles on each sleeve which can be left to dangle, or can act as drawstrings to tighten the sleeve and keep it in place, or can even be easily removed if desired.
