ABAYA-MO-04

1. Fabric Description: Premium Puka Fabric

• Texture & Finish: The core abaya is crafted from smooth, high-density Puka fabric with a sleek matte finish.
• Weight & Feel: It offers a soft, medium-weight feel that provides complete opacity (non-see-through), giving a clean, deep-black canvas for the lace detailing.
• Drape: It falls gracefully in a straight, fluid drape without clinging to the body, holding its structure effortlessly.

2. Design & Cut

This design combines a classic silhouette with continuous sheer lace accents down the sides:

• Silhouette: A full-length, open-front outer abaya with comfortable, wide flared sleeves (kimono cut).
• Color Base: Classic jet black for an elegant, monochromatic look.
• Side Split / Paneling: Features full-length vertical lace side panels running down the body, creating a light, airy movement as you walk.
• Styling: Styled with a matching black sheila (headscarf) wrapped around the neck and head.

3. Lace & Dantil (Dantelle) Detailing

"Dantil" (French lace/dantelle) is the star feature of this piece, giving it a rich, sophisticated look:

• Pattern & Mesh: The dantelle features a fine net ground layered with subtle floral vine motifs running vertically along the side seam panels and front borders.
• Sequins & Beadwork: The entire dantil trim is heavily encrusted with micro black sequins and glass beads along its edges, catching the light for a shimmering night-out look.
• Placement:
  • Front Border: Edges the vertical front placket, running from the neck down to the floor.
  • Sleeve Cuffs: Encircled around the wide sleeve openings with sparkling beaded border trim.
  • Side Inserts: Extended full-length sheer lace panels down the sides for added texture and flare.
