Good Abaya Collection

The abaya "cloak" (colloquially and more commonly, Arabicعباية‎ ʿabāyah , especially in Literary Arabicعباءة ʿabāʾah ; plural عباياتʿabāyāt عباءات ʿabāʾāt ), sometimes also called an aba, is a simple, loose over-garment, essentially a robe-like dress, worn by some women in parts of the Islamic world including in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.[1] Traditional abayat are black and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head or a long caftan. The abaya covers the whole body except the face, feet, and hands. It can be worn with the niqāb, a face veil covering all but the eyes. Some women choose to wear long black gloves, so their hands are covered as well.

Countries  

Outside the few Arab states and Saudi Arabia, in nations with large Muslim populations, such as Indonesia and Pakistan it is uncommon, however many in those countries do wear it. 


Middle East
In Saudi Arabia, they require women to cover in public.[3] In Iran, a similar covering is worn, known as a chador, although this rarely covers the face. In South Asia, it is known as a burqa.
