Bringing you the perfect look with the perfect fit
Silk Route’s philosophy is to provide the best modest fit Jilbab/Abaya for our customers. Therefore, we have gone to great lengths to provide 15 sizes that cater for a wider range of body frames and heights; revolutionising the industry standard of just 5 sizes.
Although it is impossible to cater for every body frame and height, we hope our customers can appreciate the great efforts Silk Route has made and endured in order to change the set practices of the garments/fashion industry so our unique 15 size fit is available to all our valued customers.
Silk Route provides the most number of fittings available in the Jilbab market so you’ll be sure to find your size. To ensure the correct fit please check the size and length of jilbabs suited to you before making the purchase. All Jilbabs come in 3 fittings: SLIM, REGULAR, LOOSE.
SLIM is roughly equal to UK dress sizes 8-10. REGULAR fit is roughly equal to UK dress sizes 12-14. LOOSE fit is roughly equal to UK dress sizes 16-18. (For international sizing guide in comparison to Silk Route lengths and fittings please see the table below.)
