Abaya Size Guide for Pakistan: How to Measure and Choose Your Size

Abaya Size Guide for Pakistan: How to Measure and Choose Your Size

Quick answer: Libaya abayas come in sizes 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60. Choose by height first: 5'0"–5'1" is size 52, 5'2"–5'3" is 54, 5'4"–5'5" is 56, 5'6"–5'7" is 58 and 5'8"–5'9" is 60. Then check that the bust measurement is comfortable for you.

Buying an abaya online is easy once you know your size. A good fit matters more with an abaya than with most clothes, because length, sleeve and drape all depend on it. This guide explains how to measure yourself, how to read the Libaya size chart, and what to do if you fall between two sizes.

How do I measure myself for an abaya?

You only need a soft measuring tape and a few minutes.

  1. Height: Stand straight without shoes against a wall and measure from the floor to the top of your head. Convert to feet and inches if needed.
  2. Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level and not too tight. An abaya is a loose garment, so the chart bust is larger than your body measurement.
  3. Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder, near the neck, straight down to where you want the hem, usually just above your ankle or at the floor.

Which abaya size should I choose?

Start with your height. The length of the abaya is the part that is hardest to alter, so it should match first. If your bust is on the larger side of your height range, go up one size for comfort, especially for closed styles. Front open abayas are more forgiving because the opening gives extra room.

A front open abaya, such as this black design, is the most forgiving cut when you are between sizes.

What if I am between two sizes?

Choose the larger size if you like a relaxed, flowing look or plan to wear layers underneath. Choose the smaller size if you are at the top of your height range and prefer a slightly shorter, neater hem. If you are not sure, message Libaya before ordering, or read the size guide on the product page, because each style can fall a little differently.

Can I exchange an abaya if it does not fit?

Yes. Libaya accepts exchanges within 10 days for size or manufacturing issues. Items bought on sale are exchange-only. See the refund and return policy for the full terms.
