Iqd #026: Black open abaya with beaded scalloped trim

A scalloped edge set with tiny beads, worn like a necklace.

An iqd is a strung necklace, and the name of one of the best-known anthologies of Arabic literature. This abaya wears its own: a black scalloped trim set with tiny glossy black beads, tracing the lapels, running down both front edges and circling the pockets and cuffs. Black on black, quiet from afar and bright up close. A blazer collar, an open front and a long straight cut. An everyday piece for work and visits, with a black shayla. Made to measure in Doha.
