All I'm gonna say is POCKETS!!! these abayas are by far my favourite! The material is thick enough so you don't have to worry about layering or static! It has pockets (which girly doesn't love pockets 🤭) and the colours are exceptional.

I really really love these abayas, I currently have 5 of them alhamdulillah. However I would mention that as someone who generally wears 2x/3x, I can’t say this is very plus size friendly. The bottom portion is definitely roomy bc of the ruffles and layers, however the top is not. I bought 58 in all 5 of the abayas, however it feels tight in the bust area and also in the sleeves where the balloon sleeve is added, the circumference could be wider for comfort. It feels like it cuts off my circulation almost 😅 but I love them so much I still wear it 😂🥲I would like to suggest that to better cater to plus size, if you can come up with a different style closure for the top instead of a zipper , or to add an extra inch or 2 in the bust and sleeve width when increasing the sizes. I see that (if I’m not mistaken) the 60 and 58 are basically the same size in inches across, and I wanted to try to buy the 60 to see if going up would fit, but I’m wary of buying another one even as a tester when they’re still the same size in the top area. Also the band an around the wrist is way too tight. I ended up cutting a slit cutting the band, pulling it out and now I’m wearing it as a wide sleeve. I have to put a button so that it doesn’t slide up and show my arm. In order to make it plus size friendly you should look into making it an adjustable wrist opening maybe a ribbon that you can tie shut according to how wide your wrist is? Just an idea.
Another thing, the ruffle seam at the sleeve and the bottom ruffle has popped open. Easy fix, but I think maybe the fabric is too heavy.
