Butterfly Abaya

Butterfly abayas use an exaggerated dolman sleeve that joins to the body in one continuous panel, so the garment sits fairly fitted at rest and then opens into a wide, wing-like shape the moment the arms go up. It's the style buyers reach for in lookbook and runway-adjacent marketing, since the movement photographs dramatically, even though it's cut from the same fabric base as our standard abayas. The wider panel does use more fabric per unit than a fitted sleeve would, so there's a modest cost increase over our closed and everyday lines. Offered from 200 pieces per color.
