Dubai Made Luxury Abaya Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Abaya Online
Choosing the right abaya online can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re investing in a premium, long-lasting piece. There is a BIG difference between Dubai Style Abayas and MADE IN DUBAI UAE Abayas! Here at Abaya Online all our Abayas are handmade in Dubai, UAE by our experienced and quality tailors making authentic Arab and Islamic Clothing. This Dubai Luxury Abaya Buyer’s Guide is designed to help you understand fabrics, styles, sizing, and occasions so you can confidently select the perfect abaya, thobe, or modest outfit. All examples in this guide are based on handmade pieces from Abaya.Online in Dubai, with free express worldwide shipping and 24/7 support in 20+ languages.
Why Dubai-Made Abayas Are Trusted Worldwide
Dubai has become a global center for luxury modest fashion. Buyers from the United States, Europe, Asia, and beyond look to Dubai for abayas that combine elegance, modesty, and exceptional craftsmanship.
At Abaya.Online, every abaya, thobe, and modest set is:
- Handmade in Dubai, United Arab Emirates – We do not outsource mass production to other countries.
- Crafted with premium fabrics chosen for drape, opacity, and comfort.
- Individually inspected by experienced staff, then photographed and reviewed again by our founder before shipping.
This handmade approach means your abaya is not just another item on a factory line—it is a carefully checked garment designed to look and feel special from the moment you put it on. If you are used to fast-fashion abayas, the difference in fabric quality, stitching, and fit from a Dubai-made piece is immediately noticeable.
Customers consistently highlight the same things in their feedback: “The material feels luxurious and heavy in the best way.” “The fit was perfect, even ordering from overseas.” “Shipping was fast, and the support team answered all my questions.”

- Structured or tailored cut: offers a more defined shape while remaining modest; ideal for professional and formal settings.
- Open-front abayas: worn over an inner dress or set; great for layering and styling with belts or accessories.

Abaya Sizing and Length Guide for International Customers
One of the biggest concerns when buying an abaya online is getting the right size and length, especially if you are ordering from outside the UAE.
At Abaya.Online, we recommend choosing your abaya size based primarily on your height and usual clothing size. Each product page includes a detailed size guide, but here is a simple starting point:
| Height | Recommended Abaya Length |
|---|---|
| 150–155 cm (4'11"–5'1") | 52 |
| 156–160 cm (5'1"–5'3") | 54 |
| 161–165 cm (5'3"–5'5") | 56 |
| 166–170 cm (5'5"–5'7") | 58 |
| 171–175 cm (5'7"–5'9") | 60 |
Tips:
- If you are between two lengths and prefer a more modest look, choose the longer option.
- Consider the shoes you usually wear—heels vs. flats can change your ideal length.
- Check the product description for notes on whether the cut is more loose or more tailored.
For more details, see our full size guide.
If you are unsure, contact our 24/7 support team in over 20 languages. Share your height, usual clothing size, and how you plan to wear the abaya (daily, Eid, work, etc.), and we will recommend the best size for you.
