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.

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.
