About the collection
An occasion abaya is seen from across the room and up close: the cut first, then the fabric, then the detail. The Novella collection includes a black abaya in a textured fabric with intricate metallic floral patterns and a soft shimmer; a blazer-collar abaya with a bold row of gold-toned buttons; an abaya in vertical stripes of taupe and charcoal that follows the body before flowing out; a black abaya with a patterned front panel; and a deep brown abaya with a beige front panel that pairs two colours quietly. For weddings and evening parties, choose the shimmer or the gold buttons. For daytime occasions and family visits, choose stripes or two tones. Take your length measurement while wearing the shoes for the occasion, since heels change the right length, and send it on WhatsApp. If the occasion has a fixed date, mention it in the same message and we will confirm what is possible in the time available. Every design comes in sizes XS to XL and lengths 50 to 60.
Before you choose
Which abaya should I wear to a wedding?
Choose a black abaya with a clear detail and a quiet sheen, such as metallic patterns or gold-toned buttons, in a cut that reaches the floor with heels. If you are family of the bride, choose a piece a step dressier than what you wear for visits.
How do I choose an occasion abaya length with heels?
Measure from the top of your shoulder to the floor while wearing the same shoes, then take off about two centimetres so the hem clears the floor. Send that measurement on WhatsApp and mention the heels.
Can you prepare an abaya for a fixed date?
Mention the date on WhatsApp before you order and we will confirm what is possible in the time available for that design. The earlier you order, the more room there is for tailoring and fitting.
