Lace Openwork Flared Abaya

Long lines, quiet movement. A floor-skimming abaya falls in a wide sweep from the shoulder, its solid colour interrupted only by lace openwork that lets a little light through as you walk.

The sunshine hemp weave has a dry, supple hand and a matte finish, so the fabric holds its shape through a long day rather than clinging. Cut is generous through the bust and sleeve, ending just past the wrist, and the skirt widens into a large flare that keeps its fall when you sit, stand or climb stairs.

It reads best for occasions that ask for composure: an Eid gathering, a long dinner, a day of travel. Pair it with flat sandals for daylight and a slim heel after dark, and let one metallic accessory carry the look. Bust runs 92cm to 117cm and length 137cm to 148cm across the range; measurements are taken flat with a 2-3cm tolerance and the sizing runs smaller than US and EU equivalents, so choose the larger size if you sit between two.
