The kimono dress: a modest, elegant maxi dress
Inspired by the kimono, our dress stands out with its wide, flared sleeves, high neck and frog button fastening down the front. The cut falls to the ankles and stays loose all the way down: the dress covers you without clinging to your figure.
It's a modern alternative to the abaya, with a real sense of style.
Maxi dress or abaya: what's the difference?
The abaya is a very loose long dress, designed as an outer layer. The kimono dress offers just as much coverage but is more structured, with visible details — collar, buttons, sleeves — that make it a complete outfit on its own.
Both are worn with a hijab; the choice mostly comes down to the look you're after.
How to style a modest maxi dress
The high neck and frog buttons speak for themselves: pair the dress with a plain hijab in a similar shade, and with sandals or ballet flats. For a more urban look, white trainers work really well.
In warm weather, wear the dress on its own; in spring and autumn, add a long cardigan or an open coat.
Colours for every season
Black and taupe are safe bets, easy to match all year round. Brick, burgundy and brown warm up autumn outfits, while khaki and lime green bring a fresh touch in spring.
A dress for celebrations and special occasions
Its careful details make the kimono dress an obvious choice for Eid, a wedding or a family dinner: it stays covering and comfortable while having real presence.
