Double Abaya — Two Layers, One Look
Some looks cannot be achieved with a single layer.
There is something about a double abaya that feels different the moment you put it on. The way it moves. The way the two fabrics work together. The depth it creates. It is not just an abaya — it is an experience.
At Abaya House, our Double Abaya Collection was created for the woman who wants more. More movement. More elegance. More presence.
What is a Double Abaya?
A double abaya is exactly what it sounds like — two layers of fabric, worn together as one complete piece. Typically, an inner layer provides structure and coverage, while the outer layer flows freely — often in a contrasting or complementary colour, or a lighter fabric that catches the light as you move.
The result is a look that is modest, layered, and effortlessly luxurious.
The Fabrics We Choose
The beauty of a double abaya depends entirely on the fabrics chosen. At Abaya House, we pair our layers with intention — each combination carefully selected for how it drapes, flows, and feels together.
Nida with Chiffon — the most popular combination. A structured Nida inner layer paired with a flowing chiffon outer. Elegant, breathable, and beautifully fluid.
Crepe with Chiffon — a sleek inner with a delicate outer. Perfect for formal occasions where movement and refinement matter equally.
Jacquard with Nida — rich texture on the inside, smooth and soft on the outside. A combination that feels truly luxurious.
How to Style a Double Abaya
A double abaya already does most of the work for you. The layering creates visual interest without needing much more.
For weddings and formal events, choose a double abaya in classic black or deep navy, with chiffon as the outer layer. Add gold accessories and let the fabric do the rest.
For Eid, opt for softer tones — dusty rose, champagne, or grey — with a flowing chiffon overlay. Light, graceful, and perfect for the occasion.
For everyday elegance, a simple black double abaya in Nida and chiffon is all you need. Effortless to wear and always impressive.

Why Women Love the Double Abaya
There is a confidence that comes with wearing a double abaya. The movement alone turns heads. The layers add a softness and depth that a single fabric simply cannot replicate.
Since 2021, Abaya House has been trusted by women across Pakistan and internationally — with customers in Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom choosing our double abayas for weddings, Eid, and their most special moments.
We do not just put two fabrics together and call it done. Every combination is tested, every layer is matched, and every piece is finished to the standard our customers expect.
Care Tips for Your Double Abaya
Hand wash gently in cold water or use a delicate machine cycle.
Always wash inside out to protect both layers.
Never wring or twist — the outer layer, especially chiffon, is delicate.
Hang to dry in shade. Never direct sunlight.
Iron on the lowest heat setting, from the inside only, and never directly on chiffon.
Store hung in a breathable garment bag to keep both layers smooth.
Final Thoughts
A double abaya is not just something you wear to an occasion. It is the occasion.
The moment you walk in, the layers move with you — and that movement, that grace, is something people remember long after the evening ends.
At Abaya House, we put that feeling into every piece we create.
