COMFORT AND FIT
One of the most important aspects of a good maternity Abaya is a design which not only allows for comfort as your bump grows over nine months, but also takes into consideration that your whole body may change (in the most beautiful way). A maternity Abaya design that accommodates these changes with features such as an elastic or adjustable waist, silhouettes that offer a loose-fit around the bust or pleats and panels which allow for added flexibility are a must-have on your wishlist.
MATERIAL FABRIC
Investing in sustainable and ethically made maternity Abayas that will last long after your pregnancy, will do wonders for both you and your baby. Choosing materials such as cotton and linen that are breathable, natural and sustainable means you will feel more comfortable during pregnancy, and the natural fibres mean it supports the most sensitive of skin. Sustainable natural fabrics are environmentally friendly, highly durable and last far longer than synthetic fibres – which means the maternity Abayas can be re-worn through multiple pregnancies as well as postpartum.
NURSING FRIENDLY
Something that is often overlooked is how well a maternity abayas is engineered for nursing. Instead of the traditional extended front-zip design opt for innovative designs with double zips which facilitate easier nursing on each side, or a nursing slip design with subtle openings which allow for a discreet, modest breastfeeding experience. Also be sure to opt for a caovered/hidden zip design to prevent the metal zip scratching your baby when winding or cuddling them.
