SAVINGS
A butterfly abaya is defined by its sleeves. They are cut wide and flowing from the shoulder, so when you lift your arms the fabric opens like wings. The result is a dramatic yet modest shape that moves beautifully. Our collection has open and closed styles, plain and embellished designs, and matching sets.
What Makes a Butterfly Abaya
The sleeve
The butterfly sleeve has plenty of width, so it drapes instead of hanging stiffly. With your arms by your sides, it falls in soft folds. When you move, it opens into the wing shape the style is named for.
Fabric and drape
Fabric decides how dramatic the sleeve looks. Satin has weight and sheen, so it falls in smooth, defined folds. Chiffon is lighter and floats with every move. Ice silk crepe sits between the two with a soft, fluid drape.
Open or closed
You will find both. Open styles layer over your own outfit. Closed styles, like our closed butterfly satin abaya, give you a complete look in one piece.
Everyday and occasion styles
Simple styles in plain fabric suit everyday wear. Styles with embroidery, sequins or gold trim suit events. Many shoppers keep one of each.

Each butterfly abaya here has wide sleeves that need room, so check the sleeve measurements. You may want to gather or push back the sleeves when cooking or driving. Add a plain hijab to let the sleeves stand out, or browse all abayas for women.

FAQs
Can I wear a butterfly abaya every day?
Yes, especially in plain, lighter fabric. The wide sleeves are comfortable, though you may want to push them back for tasks such as cooking or driving.
Is it modest?
The sleeves cover your arms fully and the cut is loose, so it is modest. Check that the fabric is not sheer, and wear a plain layer underneath if it is light.
Which fabric holds the sleeve shape best?
Satin holds the shape best, because it has more weight. Chiffon gives a softer, floatier look, and crepe falls in between.
Should I choose open or closed?
Open styles let you change what you wear underneath. Closed styles are simpler and need no layering. Choose by how you like to dress.
How do I style a butterfly abaya?
Let the sleeves lead. A plain hijab and simple jewellery keep the focus on the shape, especially if the abaya already has embroidery or sequins.
