Size Guide

Most Amani's garments are sized by length in inches, measured from the shoulder to the feet, rather than by body measurements. The size number is simply the total length of the garment. Our abayas and jilbabs are cut loose and flowing for a relaxed, modest fit, so if you are between sizes or plan to wear heels, we recommend sizing up.

Please note: garments shown on our models may be fitted or styled for photography. The pieces themselves are loose-fitting.

How to Measure for Length

Stand up straight in flat shoes against a wall. Place the tape at the highest point of your shoulder, next to the neck, and let it fall straight down to the floor or to where you would like the hem to sit. Read the measurement in inches — that number is your size.

Adult Abayas

Abayas are sized by length from shoulder to feet. As a guide, a standard abaya length is around 8 inches (20cm) shorter than your height. Choose your size using the length chart below.

Size	Length (in)	Length (cm)
52	52	132
54	54	137
56	56	142
58	58	147
60	60	152
62	62	157

Adult Jilbabs (Two-Piece)

Our adult two-piece jilbabs are cut generously for full, flowing coverage. Choose your size using your usual UK dress size.

2 (L/XL)	16–20	47	42

Kids Abayas

Children's abayas are measured by length from shoulder to feet, just like our adult abayas. Use your child's age and height as a starting point, then confirm with the length.

Age	Height	Abaya Length (in)
2–3	33–36 in	30–32
3–4	37–41 in	34–36
5–6	42–47 in	38–40
7–8	48–52 in	40–42
9–10	53–55 in	44–46
11–12	56–58 in	48–50

Kids Jilbab / Two-Piece Jilbab Measuring Guide

Our two-piece kids jilbabs — including sarouel trouser jilbabs and jilbab-and-skirt sets — are measured differently from abayas. The size number is the skirt or trouser length, measured from the natural waist down to the feet (or your desired hem).

This number is not an adult abaya size, not your child's full height, and not a shoulder-to-feet measurement.

How to Measure

Ask your child to stand up straight.
Place the tape measure at the natural waist.
Measure straight down to the feet, or to where you want the skirt or trouser hem to finish.
Choose the closest inch size to that measurement.
If your child is between two sizes, choose the longer size for more coverage.

Hijabs & Scarves

Hijabs are sized by fabric dimensions rather than body measurements.

Style	Width (in)	Length (in)
Square	43	43
Rectangle (Jersey)	28	71
Rectangle (Chiffon)	30	75
Maxi Shawl	36	85

Free-Size Items

Some garments are listed as Free Size. These are made as one flexible fit or length and may not show a chart. Where a product page confirms an approximate length (often around 62 inches), you can use that as your guide. We will not state a length that the product itself does not confirm.
