SAMARA Size Guide: Find Your Perfect Fit
At SAMARA, we have adopted the Emirati sizing system (from 50 to 62) for our Abayas. This guide will help you identify the ideal size for tailored elegance.
Why the Emirati sizing system?
Our creations are crafted in the United Arab Emirates, the birthplace of the traditional Abaya. Unlike the simplified system (size 1, 2, 3) which offers little flexibility, the Emirati reference system offers 7 distinct sizes to adapt precisely to your body shape.
The advantage? No more tedious alterations and hemming. Each SAMARA piece approaches bespoke tailoring, respecting your natural proportions.
Understanding the size chart
Our range goes from size 50 to 62 , expressed in inches.
Practical example : For a height of 1m50 to 1m55, choose size 52, which equals 132 cm measured from shoulder to floor.
Understanding the cut: beyond length
SAMARA offers two Abaya cuts that vary depending on the model (straight or flared). Please take this into account when making your choice:
-
Straight cut : structured silhouette (French equivalent: 34 to 52)
- Flared cut : fluidity and volume (French equivalent: 34 to 58)
Important : French equivalents refer only to width, never to length. On each product page, first identify the cut that suits you, then select your size according to your height.
Your ordering checklist
Step 1 : Choose your cut (straight or flared) based on your style and body shape
Step 2 : Select your size (50 to 62) according to your height in centimeters
Our 3 expert recommendations
- Your wearing preference : Do you want your Abaya to reach just above the ankles or to lightly graze the floor?
- Consider your footwear : Flat sandals, sneakers, or high heels significantly alter the apparent length of your outfit.
-
Account for your silhouette : A fuller bust can slightly raise the drape of the Abaya – allow for a few extra centimeters if necessary.
