Abaya Fabrics comparison

Hello all,

 

With so many Abaya styles in the market, we often wonder what's the difference between them?. It is also worth considering if the price we are paying is worth it? One good answer to this is to know more about the fabric of the Abaya, the fabric's value, and demand.

1. Lexus 

Woven, Soft hand-feel with a nice drape quality and has a matte finish

2. Internet 

Thick, slightly slippery to touch and have a slightly shinning overtone

3. Nidha 

Soft and luxurious, the more expensive abayas are usually made from this fabric. Nidha comes in different quality. The better the quality the higher the price of the abaya. 

4. Georgette

A beautiful fabric with similar qualities to chiffon however a little more dense and opaque in nature. It is very strong and is used for Asian wear such as sarees. But can make for beautiful light Abayas.

4. Jersey

Stretchy knit fabric mostly used to make Farasha abayas because of its beautiful drape quality. It is also used for abayas that have fitted sleeves

5. Poly Crepe 

There are a few kinds of poly crepe ranging from lightweight to medium weight. It has great drape quality, has a smooth matte finished.

6. Pebble Poly crepe 

Most Abaya from Jordan is made from pebble poly-crepe fabric. The surface has an obvious weave and the finish is not as smooth as the other poly-crepe.

7. Satin

Soft, slippery satin feel with shiny finished

8. Chiffon

Chiffon is lightweight soft see-through fabric and used for making flowy fancy kaftan. Most of these fancy kaftan will either team-up with Satin underdress or chiffon knit mesh underdress that will not add weight to the kaftan

Most of the Abayas worldwide are made from Nidha, Lexus, and internet fabric. And our products are mostly made from Nidha Premium or Nidha matt finish, and some products have fine georgette fabric too. The prices vary depending on the weight and quality of those fabric, the embroidery, and the rhinestone used.
