Turkey - Abaya Dress

Dusty Pink Abaya Dress with Bishop Sleeves

Sizes: M, L, L (relaxed), XL, 2XL

Opacity: 3

Sleeve: Fixed

Elasticity: There is no elasticity in this polyester/man-made fabric. In fact, this dress is deliberately made from a more rigid material to ensure the skirt maintains its straight form without clinging to the body or revealing the legs when you move briskly. Happily, this dress is designed to blouse across the bust and it has elegant billowing sleeves than ensure there is enough room for this dress to fit woman of all shapes and sizes without becoming skin-tight.

This dress is another example of Turkish designers combining Eastern modest dress standards with Western silhouettes to produce beautiful, sophisticated, modern abaya dresses. The classic pencil skirt - a defining style for Western women throughout the 20th century, has been tailored to sit off the body and combined with a billowing blouse and sleeves to create an abaya dress that is formal and sophisticated - perfectly suitable for corporate settings or formal events. Yet this abaya dress is produced in the ever elegant light pink, so it is perfectly suitable for those who enjoy lighter, more feminine colours.

With its simple, high round neck line, this dress was made with those who wear hijab in mind, and a hijab of nearly any warm colour works well with this dress. Likewise, it is the perfect foundation from which to add floral accessories or other more contrasting colours via scarves, shoes, bags and jewellery. We particularly love this dress as the foundation for our Australian Aboriginal art designed clutch purses. Such an elegant combination! You will find this one of the most useful as well as stylish modest dresses in your wardrobe. 😍
