At Zara’s Modesty, we understand the importance of finding the perfect fit for your abaya or kaftan. Each of our designs is carefully crafted to offer elegance, comfort, and modest coverage. To help you choose the right size, we provide this measurement guide based on UK sizing standards.
When selecting your size, we recommend using a soft measuring tape and measuring over light clothing. Always ensure the tape is level and not too tight.
How to Measure Yourself
Bust – Measure around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring the tape is straight across your back.
Waist – Measure around the natural crease of your waist, just above your navel.
Hips – Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape comfortably loose.
Length – Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you’d like the abaya to fall. Most of our abayas are designed to be floor-length for full coverage.
Sleeve Length – Measure from the shoulder seam down to your wrist bone.

Additional Fit Notes
- Abayas are generally designed for a modest, loose fit. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, consider choosing one size smaller.
- For layering (e.g., with cardigans or inner dresses), we recommend sticking to your true size or one size up for added comfort.
- Our tall collection is available for customers over 5’7”, with lengths extended by 2–3 inches.
If you are unsure about sizing, please reach out to our support team with your measurements, and we will happily guide you in selecting the best fit.
