How to Care for Your Abaya — The YARA Way ✨

So you've just received your new YARA abaya — exciting!! 💌 Before you wear it out and feel all kinds of pretty, let’s talk about how to keep it looking fresh, flawless, and fabulous for as long as possible.

Here are our go-to care tips to keep your abaya in perfect shape:

1. First Thing’s First: Steam It Before the First Wear

Your abaya may arrive with a few creases — it’s totally normal after packaging and shipping. But nothing a quick steam can’t fix! 

Give it a light steam before your first wear to bring out its beauty and smoothness — it’ll look extra crisp and flowy ✨

✨ Steaming is always better than ironing for delicate fabrics! 

2. Never Ever Tumble Dry

Many abayas are made from delicate, flowy fabrics like crepe, satin, or chiffon. Tumble drying can cause:

• Shrinkage
• Fabric warping
• Even tiny tears over time

Instead, hang dry your abaya and let it air dry naturally. It’s gentler, safer, and keeps your abaya looking brand new for longer.

3. Wash With Love

• For lightweight or delicate abayas, always hand wash with cold water.
• For everyday pieces, you can pop them in the machine on a cold (30°C or less) gentle cycle — but make sure it’s low spin and delicate.
•  Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners — gentle is the way to go.

4. Store It With Care

Don’t fold and forget about it! Your abaya deserves better 👗💕

Hang your abaya on a padded or non-slip hanger to help it keep its shape

Store it in a wardrobe where it has room to breathe (no tight squeezing between hangers!). If it’s an occasion abaya, consider using a garment cover to protect it from dust. The more you love and care for your abaya, the longer it will love you back 🤍
