Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have maternity-friendly sizing?

Yes! Many of our abayas and jilbabs are designed with relaxed, flowing silhouettes that are comfortable during pregnancy. We recommend sizing up one size for the best fit during maternity. If you need specific guidance, feel free to contact us via our hotline at 01601273577.

Should I steam or iron my modest wear?

We recommend steaming over ironing for most of our fabrics, especially georgette and chiffon pieces. Steaming is gentler and helps maintain the fabric's drape and finish. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.

Is there a weight limit for certain products?

Yes, some of our structured pieces are recommended for customers up to 70kg for the best fit and silhouette. For customers above 70kg, we recommend choosing our relaxed-fit or plus-size options. Please check individual product descriptions or contact us for personalised advice.

How do I find the right size?

Each product page includes a size chart based on height. As a general guide: S fits 5'0"–5'2", M fits 5'3"–5'4", L fits 5'5"–5'6", and XL fits 5'7"–5'8". If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable and modest fit.

Do you offer delivery across Bangladesh?

Yes, we deliver nationwide across Bangladesh. Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days. For urgent orders or special occasions like Eid, please contact us in advance to confirm delivery timelines.

Can I visit your outlet in person?

Yes! Our outlet is located at 49 Satmasjid Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka 1209. We are open every day from 10:30 AM to 9:00 PM. You can also reach us on our hotline: 01601273577.

Everything you need to know about our abayas, khimars, and modest wear — from fabric to fit to delivery across Bangladesh.

ModestBD offers a curated collection of abayas designed for Bangladeshi women — including everyday open-front abayas, butterfly abayas, prayer abayas, and occasion-wear abayas with embroidery or lace accents. Every style is designed with full coverage and modest silhouettes in mind. We also carry matching inner garments and accessories to complete the look.

Open-front Butterfly Prayer Occasion-wear

Our khimar range includes short khimars (hip-length), long khimars (knee-length and full-length), two-piece prayer khimars, and tudung-style khimars with a structured cap. Available in jersey, chiffon, and premium cotton blends — all designed for breathability in Bangladesh's warm climate.

Yes. All garments at ModestBD are designed with full-coverage principles in mind — non-transparent, non-form-fitting fabrics, and modest silhouettes throughout. We prioritise styles that meet Islamic guidelines on dress for women, without compromising on comfort or everyday wearability.

Our garments are crafted from breathable, heat-appropriate fabrics including nida, crepe, cotton blends, jersey, and linen-mix. We specifically source fabrics that remain comfortable during Bangladeshi summers and humid monsoon seasons. Every product listing specifies the fabric composition so you can choose confidently.

For everyday wear, pair a classic black or neutral nida abaya with a matching jersey khimar or an Al-Amira hijab in a complementary tone. Flat sandals or modest sneakers complete the look for commuting, errands, or campus. For a more polished office or occasion style, choose an embroidered abaya with a pressed inner dress and low block heels.

If you are new to wearing khimar, we recommend starting with our jersey hip-length khimar — it is lightweight, easy to put on without pins, stays in place throughout the day, and pairs beautifully with both abayas and modest casual wear. It is our most popular choice among new wearers and students.

Yes. Each product page includes a detailed size chart with measurements in centimetres for bust, waist, hip, and garment length. We also publish a general Sizing Guide on our website. If you are unsure between two sizes, our customer support team is happy to advise via WhatsApp — just send your measurements and we will recommend the best fit.
