Abaya
The
abaya is an over garment worn by some
women in Muslim-majority countries. It is the traditional form of
hijab /
Jilbab, or Islamic dress, for many countries of the Arabian
peninsula. It is sometimes adopted in other parts of Islamic world.
Traditional abayas are black, and may be either a large square of
fabric draped from the shoulders or head, or a long black caftan.
The abaya should cover the whole body save face, feet, and hands. It
can be worn with the niqab a face veil covering all but the eyes.
Some women choose to also wear long black gloves, so their hands are
covered underneath the
abaya.
