Abaya fashion show (8)

A woman from the embassy community had an abaya fashion show featuring the creations of Eman, the woman from whom I’ve bought all my abayas. I think her abayas are a bit pricy for some, yet some of those very same people were buying them just the same. I managed to not bring anything home with me as I already have an abaya for every week we have been in the KSA (!), but I was just a little bit tempted all the same. According to Eman, one can never have too many abayas!

This is a recent one that I purchased for winter:

You look so graceful in this very attractive garment, Helen.

It's a pity they are matched with black. The work looks exquisite. I would love to see this work fringing cobalt blue, peacock green and even navy blue. Sumptuous! V.

Winter is at our doorway here and I'd rather wear an abaya in the moderate weather than a coat in the cold chill. You look wonderful in your new gown, Helen. V
