From Qatar
Custom abayas for Qatar
Abayas cut to your length, sleeves and shape: one of our 100 designs, or your own from a photo or sketch.
Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from Qatar: ordering from Qatar.
Humid summers and cold malls
Doha summers are humid as well as hot, so choose the fabric first. Chiffon is the lightest of our three abaya fabrics and is usually worn over a lined inner dress. Nida is matte, light and slow to crease, which helps when you are in and out of the car all day. Crepe falls with more weight and keeps a sharp line in an air-conditioned office.
Our notes on dressing for Qatar heat and air conditioning cover what to wear underneath, and the guide to abaya fabrics for Gulf summer heat compares the three side by side.
Simple black, or something newer
A black butterfly abaya with a little embroidery at the cuffs is the easiest first order: loose, quick to put on and right for most days. For something newer, the cape, bisht, lantern and pleated shapes in our range look dressier for an Eid visit or an evening with friends. Any design can be made in another colour, agreed in your quote, and the embroidery can be hand, machine or a mix of both. Still deciding? Read black or coloured abaya and our butterfly abaya guide.
Measuring and ordering from Doha
Measure the length in the shoes you wear most, or measure an abaya you already own and tell us those are garment figures. Our Qatar abaya guide explains sending your own fabric from Doha, and the Qatar page sets out delivery, customs and payment. You get one written total in US dollars, pounds or euros that includes delivery to your door, and you start on the Qatar quote form.
