Cloak (Abaya) is a traditional costume for Arab woman; it consists of a black piece of cloth worn from top of the head down to cover the whole body. Traditionally, abayas were made of silk; its value varies according to the quality of the silk used. Today abayas are made from different fabrics that are cheaper and more convenient for women needs. Today’s abayas also come in a variety of modern designs; some women wear it on the shoulder, but others prefer the old-style Abaya.
