• Choosing an underlayer:

A simple underdress in a neutral shade such as black, or in a color that matches the main fabric, works particularly well. This creates a clean base that allows the handmade waist detailing to stand out.

• Jewelry:

Long necklaces and layered necklaces worn over the underdress complement the abaya’s round neckline nicely. Silver jewelry works especially well with the navy version, while both gold and silver are suitable choices for the black version.

• Bag and shoes:

Matching your bag and shoes with the decorative trim or other accessories helps bring the entire look together. Silver bags and shoes pair beautifully with the navy version, while white, black, or metallic accessories work well with the other color options.
