FAQs
What is an abaya?
An abaya is a timeless garment rooted in modest fashion — a flowing outer dress designed to offer both elegance and coverage. At LUNÁ, our abayas are designed to be modern, versatile, and refined, celebrating femininity while staying true to modest values.
Why shop with LUNÁ by Sharifah?
We believe modest fashion should feel luxurious yet effortless. Every LUNÁ abaya is carefully sourced from premium fabrics in Turkey, Egypt, and Korea, with attention to detail in tailoring, finish, and comfort. Our designs balance classic elegance with contemporary style, making them suitable for everyday wear and special occasions alike.
What fabrics do you use?
Our abayas are crafted from premium lightweight crepes, chiffons, satins, and breathable blends. Each fabric is chosen for its flow, durability, and comfort. We focus on high-quality textiles that drape beautifully, last long, and feel luxurious to wear.
Do you offer different colours and finishes?
Yes! While black is classic, LUNÁ by Sharifah celebrates a palette of timeless shades — including champagne, sage, blush, moonlit grey, and soft pastels. Many of our designs are available in matte, satin, or embellished finishes, giving you freedom to choose based on your occasion and personal style.
How do I choose the right size?
We provide a detailed size guide to help you measure your height and fit preferences. Most abayas are designed to be flowy and forgiving, so exact sizing is flexible. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for extra length and comfort.
How should I care for my abaya?
To keep your abaya looking its best:
Hand wash or use delicate cycle with mild detergent.
Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
Hang to air dry (do not tumble dry).
For satins and embellished styles, use low-heat steam or dry clean if needed.
With proper care, your LUNÁ abaya will remain beautiful for years.
Which abaya style is right for me?
Open abayas – great for layering over dresses or trousers.
Closed abayas – elegant for everyday wear or formal gatherings.
Embellished abayas – ideal for weddings, Eid, or celebrations.
Minimalist abayas – versatile for work, casual outings, or travel.
Our team is happy to help you select the perfect style.
Are your abayas seasonal?
Yes. Our lightweight fabrics are perfect for spring and summer, while our denser crepes and lined abayas keep you warm in cooler months. We release seasonal collections so you always have fresh, versatile pieces year-round.
Can non-Muslims wear abayas?
Absolutely. While rooted in modest tradition, abayas are a fashion statement beyond culture and religion. Many women wear abayas simply for their elegance, comfort, and flowing silhouette. LUNÁ is for any woman who loves timeless, modest style.
What’s the difference between an abaya, jilbab, and other modestwear?
Abaya – A flowing outer dress, often open or closed.
Jilbab – A long, loose coat-style garment with sleeves.
Kaftan – A lighter, often embellished dress, usually worn indoors or at events.
At LUNÁ, we specialize in abayas, but our designs are inspired by these rich traditions.

Do you offer returns or exchanges?
