Prices in Qatari riyals

Prices, delivery and checkout are in Qatari riyals (QAR). The Qatari riyal and the Saudi riyal are both pegged to the US dollar, so 1 QAR is about 1.03 SAR: a 500 QAR abaya is about 515 SAR, and the 150 QAR delivery is about 155 SAR. Your bank converts the payment into Saudi riyals at its own rate, and the final amount appears on your statement. Each design has one price for every size and length.

Sizes and made to measure

Every Novella abaya comes in ready sizes XS to XL and lengths 50 to 60 inches. The length number is the abaya's length in inches from the top of the shoulder to the hem, so 54 is about 137 centimetres, 56 about 142 and 58 about 147.

Made to measure is available. On the abaya's page, choose made to measure and type five measurements: full length, shoulder, sleeve, chest and armhole, in inches or centimetres. They travel with your order to checkout, and we go through them with you on WhatsApp and confirm the tailoring time before cutting. The made to measure and size guide shows how to take each measurement.
