Abaya

The abaya is an garment worn by Muslim women. It is the traditional form of hijab , or Islamic modest dress, for many countries of the Arabian peninsula and the Muslim world at large. Traditional abaya are black, and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head, or a long black caftan. The abaya should cover the whole body save the face, feet, and hands. It can be worn with the niqab , a face veil covering all but the eyes.

Contemporary abaya are usually caftans, cut from light, flowing fabrics like crepe, georgette, and chiffon . They are now made in colors other than black.
