Party Wear Abayas — Page 2

What separates a party abaya from an everyday one here is the finish rather than the cut. These are the pieces with hand-set katdana across the yoke and sleeve, thread and DMC work down the front panel, laser cutwork set into the fabric, or a zari weave that catches light on its own. Most are in zoom and tiktok fabrics, which hold a heavier embellishment without dragging, and most are cut with a full flare so the work moves with you. For a mehndi, a nikkah, Eid or a dinner — worn as they are, or opened over an outfit.
