Size Guide
How do I know what skirt or sirwal length to choose?
Best is that you either measure a skirt you know is a good length on you, or measure yourself from hip or waist (your preference) and down to how long you want your skirt to be. You can also take a look at this size chart for guidance :
What’s the waist measurements of the skirts?
Our skirts have a elastic band to make it comfortable and suitable for most body shapes. The measurement of our standard skirt (if you don’t choose plus size) is 38 to 60 cm, meaning measured straight over the elastic band when first not stretched and then when stretched. If you choose plus size this measurement will be 50-90 cm.
What’s the length of the jilbab top/headpiece?
When you choose skirt or sirwal length the length of the jilbab will be suitable for that choice.
- 85-90 cm skirt or sirwal: 130 cm long jilbab
- 95-100 cm skirt or sirwal: 140 cm long jilbab
- 105-115 cm skirt or sirwal: 150 cm long jilbab
What’s the difference between Standard and Petite?
The difference is in the width of the jilbab. Our standard is most suitable for sisters that are 165 cm or taller, since its wider and therefore also have longer sleeves. Petite have smaller width which means it have shorter sleeves, suitable for sisters 163 cm and shorter.
What is Plus size?
If you choose plus size this will make the skirt wider in the waist (50-90 cm).
Additional Options
Pockets in skirt or sirwal:
You can choose to add pockets to your skirt or sirwal, the pockets will be added into the seam on the sides and are a deep pocket suitable to place your phone or keys in, in sha Allah.
Drawstring in skirt or sirwal
All our skirt and sirwals have elastic band in the waist, however some sisters prefer to have a drawstring for easy adjustment of the waist.
Niqab straps:
You can choose to add so called “niqab straps” to your jilbab. This will enable you to wear your jilbab so that the fabric you usually wear under the chin can be lifted up to cover the face.
Ummi zipper:
When a baby needs extra closeness to their mum many of us sisters choose to wear a sling or a baby carrier. The ummi zipper, a horizontal zipper, makes it possible to wear the sling or carrier underneath the jilbab so we don’t have to compromise on the conditions of the hijab.
Matching Niqab
A Matching Niqab will be an elasticated half niqab. The Niqab will match in colour and fabric to the main garment you are purchasing.
