    Sending a design

    How do I send you a design?

    A photo or a video is enough. A screenshot from Instagram, a picture of a piece you already own, a drawing on paper, a reference a customer sent you — anything that shows what the garment should look like.

    Detail helps but is not required. If you know the sleeve you want, the length, the fabric weight, or where the embroidery should sit, tell us. If you do not, we will ask the questions that matter and make recommendations. Most enquiries start with one photo and a sentence.

    One thing specific to abayas is worth knowing before you send anything: the back drape and the placement of embroidery often differ from the front, and a front-only photo leaves the most expensive decisions to guesswork. If you have a photo of the back, send it. If the reference is a piece you own, photograph it flat as well as on the body.

    What can and cannot be made

    Will my design actually work?

    Most do. The ones that need a conversation first usually fail on trims rather than on shape.

    Lace and trims are bought from the market rather than woven to order, so a design has to be matched to a trim that actually exists. If you send a reference with a lace we cannot obtain, we will tell you before production and show you the closest real alternative — rather than substituting something quietly and surprising you at delivery. That single habit prevents most of the disputes that happen in this industry.

    The other common one is a reference that was never a real garment. AI-generated design images are everywhere now, and they are genuinely useful as direction, but an image can show a seam that cannot be sewn or a drape that cannot hang. We will tell you what has to change to make it real, and what it will look like when it is.

    From design to production

    How does a photo become a production run?

    We read the design and tell you what it will take to make — the fabric that suits it, the trims it needs, and anything in the reference that will not translate.

    Then we agree a budget tier. The same silhouette can be produced across a wide range, from the most premium fabrics available in this region down to upper-mid. This decision usually sets your cost per piece more than any other, which is why it is worth having the conversation properly rather than just saying 'good quality'.

    Production runs 1–3 weeks depending on volume and complexity. If the pieces are for your own brand, your labels and hangtags go on before they ship. We deliver worldwide in 10–15 days. Within the UAE, retail delivery is AED 25 flat.

    Sizing

    What about sizes and fit?

    Standard lengths run 52 to 60 inches, and child sizes run 2 to 12 years. Tailoring is available on request.

    If you are producing for a specific market, tell us — the length that sells in one country is not always the length that sells in another, and it is a cheap thing to get right at the order stage and an expensive thing to discover afterwards.

    • Lengths 52–60 inches
    • Child sizes 2–12 years
    • Tailoring on request
    • Several designs can share one production run
    • Private label available on custom work

    Questions, answered

    Frequently asked

    Can I send any design?
    Yes. Send a photo or a video of what you want made. We work from references, not technical packs.
    Do I need a pattern or a tech pack?
    No. We are the manufacturer, so pattern-making happens with our team.
    What is the minimum for a custom design?
    8 pieces per design. Several designs can share one production run.
    How long does a custom order take?
    Production is 1–3 weeks depending on volume and complexity, then worldwide delivery in 10–15 days.
    Can you match a specific lace or trim?
    Lace and trims are bought from suppliers rather than woven to order, so a design has to be matched to a trim we can actually obtain. We will tell you before production if a reference cannot be matched exactly, and show you the closest real option.
    Can you make an abaya from an AI-generated image?
    We can work from one as direction, but an AI image can show construction that cannot be sewn. We will tell you what needs to change to make it a real garment.
    Should I send a photo of the back?
    Yes, if you have one. Abaya back drape and embroidery placement often differ from the front, and the back is where most of the design decisions are.
    Can I order custom pieces under my own label?
    Yes. Woven labels, leather labels, hangtags and packaging boxes are all available.
    Can I mix sizes and colours within an order?
    Ask us when you enquire and we will confirm what is possible for your design.
    Do you make child sizes?
    Yes. Child sizes run 2–12 years, and adult lengths run 52–60 inches.
    Do you ship custom orders internationally?
    Yes, worldwide in 10–15 days.
    How do I start?
    Message +971 54 773 9397 on WhatsApp with a photo of the design and the quantity you have in mind.
