Size Guide
Find your Hoorain Abaya length, body fit, sleeve, and modestwear measurement guidance.
Abayas are usually selected by garment length first, then by body ease. Hoorain keeps the fit modest and fluid, so the right size should skim comfortably over the bust, waist, and hips without pulling at the shoulders or sleeves.
Abaya Length Guide
Choose the length closest to your height and heel preference. If you are between two heights, choose the longer length for heels or a floor-grazing look, and the shorter length for flats.
| Abaya length | Best height range | Approx. metric height | Typical finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 in | 4'10"-4'11" | 147-150 cm | Petite / flats |
| 52 in | 5'0"-5'1" | 152-155 cm | Petite regular |
| 54 in | 5'2"-5'3" | 157-160 cm | Regular |
| 56 in | 5'4"-5'5" | 162-165 cm | Regular tall |
| 58 in | 5'6"-5'7" | 167-170 cm | Tall |
| 60 in | 5'8"-5'9" | 172-175 cm | Tall / heels |
| 62 in | 5'10"-6'1" | 178-185 cm | Extra tall |
Body Fit Guide
Use your body measurements to choose XS-XXL. The garment is designed with modest ease, so the finished garment is intentionally roomier than the body.
| Size | Bust body range | Waist body range | Hip body range | Suggested fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 80-84 cm | 62-68 cm | 86-92 cm | Petite / slim |
| S | 84-90 cm | 68-74 cm | 92-98 cm | Relaxed slim |
| M | 90-96 cm | 74-82 cm | 98-104 cm | Classic modest |
| L | 96-104 cm | 82-90 cm | 104-112 cm | Relaxed |
| XL | 104-112 cm | 90-100 cm | 112-120 cm | Generous |
| XXL | 112-122 cm | 100-112 cm | 120-132 cm | Generous plus |
How To Measure
Length
Measure from the highest shoulder point down to where you want the hem to sit. Add 2-3 cm if you usually wear heels.
Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the bust while wearing your usual underlayer.
Shoulder
Measure shoulder point to shoulder point across the back. Choose one size up if sleeves pull when moving.
Sleeve
Measure from shoulder point to wrist bone. Bracelet sleeves should finish slightly above the wrist.
Hip
Measure the fullest part of the hips. If bust and hip indicate different sizes, choose the larger size.
Ease
For an open abaya worn over outfits, allow more ease than a closed abaya worn as the main garment.
Fit Notes
- Open abayas usually tolerate more variation because they layer over dresses, trousers, or inner slips.
- Closed abayas need more attention to bust, hip, and stride ease.
- Bridal, embroidered, and occasion abayas should not feel tight across the shoulder or upper arm because embellishment can reduce stretch.
- For travel abayas, choose the shorter length if you want easier stair and airport movement.
