FAQs

Why is it called a "butterfly abaya"?

It's named for the wing-like panels of fabric at the sleeves and sides, which flare open and flutter like butterfly wings when you move — a dramatic, flowing effect most visible in lightweight fabrics like our Chiffon Abaya styles.

Is a butterfly abaya open or closed?

Most butterfly abayas are open-front, worn over an inner dress or outfit, which is what allows the wing panels to flow freely. See our Open Abaya collection for the base style this design builds on.

Is a butterfly abaya suitable for everyday wear, or only special occasions?

Both — simpler butterfly styles in cotton or jersey work for daily wear, while embellished satin or chiffon versions from our Luxury Abaya collection are better suited to weddings and Eid.

What should I wear underneath a butterfly abaya?

Since the wing panels open at the sides, most women pair it with a matching or coordinating inner maxi dress — our two-piece sets like the Luxury Two-Piece Modest Set already include one.

Does a butterfly abaya work for petite or plus-size figures?

Yes — the flowing wing panels are generally flattering across body types since they drape rather than cling, though petite frames may want to size down slightly to avoid excess fabric pooling at the hem.
