THE SIZE AND FIT GUIDE
VEIJAB's size guide helps you choose stylish and comfortable outfits, ensuring a perfect fit for all body shapes.
RECOGNIZING THE DIFFERENT CUTS
Overall Silhouette: Look at the overall shape of the abaya when hung or worn. Does it feel loose and flowy, or more fitted and structured? This first impression can give you an idea of the fit.
Sleeves: Examine the sleeves of the abaya. Are they wide and flared, resembling butterfly wings or a balloon? Or are they more fitted and straight? The shape of the sleeves can often indicate the cut style of the abaya.
Size and fit: Observe how the abaya fits around the waist and hips. Does it sit straight along the body without cinching, or is it slightly fitted at the waist? A straight cut will tend to follow the natural contours of the body more rigidly, while a looser cut will have a looser fit.
Length: The length of the abaya can also indicate its cut. A straight cut abaya will tend to have an even, straight length along the body, while a butterfly or balloon cut abaya may have a shorter length in the front and longer in the back due to its flared shape .
Design Details: Certain design details, such as pleats, gathers, darts or expansion panels, can be used to create different cutting styles. Examine these details to see if they match a particular fit.

It is designed to be modest and comfortable.
THE DIFFERENT CUTS
BUTTERFLY CUT
EXTRA BUTTERFLY CUT
Loose, flowing fit: The extra butterfly cut stands out with its extremely loose shape and wide sleeves that resemble butterfly wings. This not only offers a unique style but also great freedom of movement.
Elegance and Flow: This cut gives an elegant and flowing appearance, often sought after for special occasions or for a more sophisticated style.
Comfort: Due to its wide cut, the extra butterfly abaya is often very comfortable to wear, allowing good air circulation and easy movement.
BALLOON CUTTER
Loose, rounded shape: The balloon cut is designed to be very loose and wide, with a rounded silhouette. This shape gives a voluminous appearance to the garment, resembling a balloon, hence its name.
Elegance and unique style: The balloon cut brings a distinctive and elegant style, often associated with a more modern and edgy appearance compared to more traditional abayas.
Comfort: As with the extra butterfly cut, the balloon cut is also very comfortable to wear due to its width and loose fit. It allows great freedom of movement and is often preferred for hot climates due to the good air circulation.
Rounded Sleeves and Bottom: The sleeves and bottom of the abaya can also be designed in a rounded or puffed manner, contributing to the overall "balloon" look.
