- What size should I have?

The width of the abaya

Garments marked with S, M, L, XL are approximately European measurements. So if you usually buy size M in other clothing stores, M will most likely also fit well with Butik Selina's garments. An abaya should fit loosely, so an abaya in size M fits loosely on a body that usually fits M in sweaters, shirts, etc.

Abaya length

Most people want an abaya that goes all the way down to the ground without dragging on the ground. Then take your height and then deduct 25 cm for the head and neck - then you get the length the abaya should be. Below is a quick guide so you don't have to count ;). If you want it to drag or be shorter, you can of course remove or add...

Sometimes it can be tricky to find garments that fit in both width and length - feel free to look around among the products, because some models of garments are shorter and some are longer.

If the garment you get home still doesn't fit - no worries, Butik Selina offers 14 days open purchase. Contact us at info@butikselina.se

- Which shawl should I wear?

The simple one for everyday life

If you need a shawl that is easy to put on and comfortable, we recommend The Instant Jersey Shawl . It is soft, easy to put on and comfortable. It is sewn together under the chin, so there is no need for a needle. This is the shawl for those of you who want to quickly put on your shawl and who like freedom of movement and that the shawl is not too tight around the head. This shawl is medium in size, you can drape the bust with it. It is not transparent even in one layer, so it can be used without an underscarf, but if you are going to wear it for a longer time, it can be an advantage to use it together with an underscarf so that it does not slide on the hair.

The stylish and versatile

The chiffon shawl is the all-round shawl. It is stylish both for everyday use and for more festive occasions. It can be matched with most things and is stylish. This shawl is not that big but mostly covers the head. It is transparent in one layer but not in two.

The airy and light

The covering

If you want a large shawl that covers well and a lot, you should use an extra large shawl. You can drape both backwards and forwards.
