Size Guide
Find your perfect fit with our detailed size guide for abayas and Islamic clothing.
How to Measure
To find your perfect size, you'll need a soft measuring tape. If you don't have one, you can use a string and then measure it against a ruler. For the most accurate measurements:
- Keep the measuring tape snug but not tight
- Wear light clothing when taking measurements
- Have someone help you measure for more accuracy
- Stand naturally, don't hold your breath or stand unnaturally straight
Bust/Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your bust/chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, at the narrowest part of your torso.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips, usually about 8 inches below your waistline.
Length
Measure from your shoulder to where you want the abaya to end (typically at the ankle).
Sleeves
Measure from the shoulder seam to where you want the sleeve to end.
Shoulders
Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the other, across your upper back.

Finding Your Perfect Fit
If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable, modest fit. Our abayas are designed to be flowing and elegant, so a slightly larger size often looks better than one that's too tight.
Fit Tips:
- If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger size
- Consider the style of the abaya - some designs are meant to be more fitted than others
- For layering, you may want to choose a slightly larger size
- Fabric type affects fit - stretchy fabrics provide more flexibility
Custom Sizing
We understand that standard sizes don't work for everyone. That's why we offer custom sizing for most of our abayas. If you need a custom size:
- Take your measurements following the guide above
- Contact us through our contact form or email us at custom@sighattire.com
- Include your measurements and the style number of the abaya you're interested in
- We'll get back to you with a quote and estimated production time
Please note that custom-sized items cannot be returned unless there is a manufacturing defect.
