The Watercolor Drape Abaya
Made to fit you.
Leave your sizing notes at checkout — we’ll refine your order before it ships.
Soft as sunrise, fluid as breath—an ethereal drape with a painter’s hand.
The Watercolor Drape Abaya evokes the quiet elegance of early light—layered pastel tones blending like watercolor across fabric that moves like air. Though not silk, its silk-touch viscose-cotton blend offers the same softness and luminous drape, with a subtly textured surface that catches light in motion.
Designed with a loose, one-piece kaftan silhouette, the abaya floats effortlessly around the body. A gently gathered waist gives shape without structure, and butterfly sleeves add architectural volume with whisper-light movement.
Pair it with the matching Watercolor Fan Camisole Dress for a sculptural silhouette, or wear solo as a statement of quiet luxury.
