Women's Abaya Size Chart
The size chart is an average to help you narrow down your size. Be sure to use the measurements on the abaya description page of each abaya because the sizes will vary from style to style.
Even if you know what size you normally wear, we recommend you measure your body to find out what size is best for you because clothing manufacturers use different sizing standards. To measure hold the measuring tape firm and level but not too tight. Once you have measured yourself, compare your measurements to the sizing chart to determine the best size for you. 1. Bust 2.

Size Chart
How to use the size chart:
Shown in the size chart are the abaya measurements (not body measurements) for each size in the first column. Use a tape measure to get your bust and hip measurements. Then using the chart, choose a size with a bust size that is about 4-6 inches bigger than your actual bust measurement or a hip size that is 6-8 inches bigger than your actual hip measurement for ease of movement and modesty.
For example, your measurements are as follows:
Bust: 38"
Hip: 42"
Recommendation:
Abaya Bust: 38 + 6 = 44"
Abaya Hip : 42 + 6 = 48"
Using the values 44" (bust) and 48" (hip) the above size chart, the corresponding size is XLarge.
If the resulting value is in between two sizes (let's say, between S and M) choose the bigger size. It is important the abaya is not too tight and you can easily make a rakah in it.
