Nida Abayas — Page 2

Nida is the fabric most people mean when they say they want a proper abaya. It is a soft matte weave with enough weight to hang straight and enough give to move, it does not shine under indoor light the way cheaper polyester does, and it comes out of a wash needing very little from an iron. That last part is why it ends up being the one worn most. Plain and lightly detailed cuts here, in the colours that get worn rather than the ones that photograph well.
