By the way, Yasmine, Gulf women purchase their Abayas from the same stores they get their trendy outfits. Many stores specialize in abayas only, this is now a growing business in the Middle East. Some international designers like Elie Saab and Valentino have their special edition line of abayas. It is the latest trend amongst younger girls, too. The cost range is anywhere between 50 and 5,000 US dollars, It all depends on the amount of hand work, beading, and stones sewn onto the abaya. The fancier abayas are worn to weddings and special occasions (on top of the trendy clothes), plain ones are worn to more casual outings and at work.
