At Threat by Mariam, we believe in celebrating comfort, elegance, and individuality. To help you find your perfect abaya fit, we’ve prepared this detailed size guide.

How to Measure

  • Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
  • Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
  • Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist.
  • Abaya Length: Measure from the top of the shoulder down to your desired hemline.

Types of Abaya Cuts and Notes on Measurements

Some abaya cuts differ in how sleeve length and overall length are measured. The most common types are:

  • Classic Abaya: The sleeve is measured from the shoulder to the wrist.
  • Loose Bisht Abaya: The sleeve is measured diagonally from the base of the neck to the end of the arm. It is usually wider and longer.
  • Cloché or Open Abaya: These have more width at the waist and hips, so it's recommended to add 2–4 inches for ease and comfort.
It’s always best to take accurate body measurements and then apply ease (additional room for comfort) depending on the abaya style.
