Aqua Arabesque Patterned Abaya

Sizes: M

Opacity: 3

Sleeve: Open

Elasticity: The fabric has no elastic content, however the cotton component of the fabric will slowly stretch to your shape (similar to the way denim stretches to fit the wearer).

Arabesque (Western word) or Islimil (Arabic word) are used to describe a type of stylised vine pattern that has been highly prevalent throughout the Islamic world since at least the 9th century. While the pattern changes based on the influence of the culture it’s in and the artisans and wealthy people paying for its production, fundamentally, it is a vine pattern, where the leaves and flowers are often stylised. This artistic form can be found not only in fine art, but also is highly prevalent as architectural decoration either carved in relief or produced on tiles. The background to these intricate patterns were often produced in bright colours to provide a stark contrast to the scroll-work in front.

Here at Myriad Modest Fashion we admit we have an absolute love for this and other intricate, traditional Islamic pattern forms and thus are unable to resist the opportunity to bring such a rich cultural heritage to you in the form of breathtakingly beautiful clothes. This abaya has the glorious Arabesque pattern in warm golden tones set against a clear aqua background that beautifully highlights the traditional pattern. Combined with the beautiful pattern, this abaya is made of a beautiful, soft smooth cotton blend that feels simply luxurious against the skin and yet has enough weight to it to provide excellent opacity and also a garment that doesn’t wrinkle horribly like some stiffer cotton fabrics are prone to do. This is also a generously sized abaya with plenty of room in the sleeves making it easy to wear over clothes or easy to wear as a loose but extremely stylish dress.
