Abayas are so pretty

When I was shopping at Royal Plaza I saw some traditional clothing that I fell in love with.

What do all the other expats think about Qatars traditional clothing?

Brit, if you saw the price tag on some of these you would be reduced to tears... Heck, some of them are so expensive I feel almost guilty about pulling my dear husbands credit card out to pay for it :)

I agree with Flan.. Its what's inside the wrapper that is more fun..

Amoud.. i am to much of gentleman to ask why hubby went into cardiac arrest, but at least you had fun..

Ladies, after being part of the thread I took out my lovely creation last night to try on.

You are right Alexa, just appreciating it is enough. My husband went into cardiac arrest when he saw it because the last time I did that I went and bought another one...

The abeya is really helpful to cover when wearing an evening dress to an event or if you were to go give condolences in Qatar. Also, its good to carry in the car for emergencies, say you are swimming or wearing shorts for the car they make a great cover-up. I wore one to the hospital once when I broke my ribs as the hospital is full of look loos and I was wearing clothes you wear on a boat. You can buy cheap ones at Souk Waqif.

Great Creative Designs....I would love to own one....

but.... it just looks really naff that with such a 'high class' target market that

a) the spelling is crap

b) the cultural names down match the design.....

Fur coat and ney knickers.... I bet i can guess which country the company is from. LOL

we'll definitely go see..but think they'll mind me drooling on the material???

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Then they should've never been called an abaya in the first place...

I must admit, they are indeed lovely but you wont get to wear it much. Breakfast at Tiff's is a stunner...

This shop is designer abayas, worn to parties and such. You dont see many of these stunners in public. I own 2 from this shop and they are getting pretty dusty (no time for parties, kids are too demanding)
