As muslims prepare for the holiday, one thing they look forward to is their outfit. Of the outfits commonly worn by Muslims during this period, Abaya stands out.
Abaya is a loose-fitting full-length robe worn by women, usually Muslim women. The dress is styled in such a way that it hides the woman’s curves. Just think of modest and stylish in the same sentence.
When one wears Abaya, only the face, hands and feet are left out, the rest of the body is fully covered. The fabrics commonly used to make Abaya are chiffon, georgette or crepe. Abaya can be made with any color of your choice.
In Nigeria, women usually buy the ready made Abaya though some still prefer to sew it from their fashion designers or tailors as the case may be.
