Mastour Evening Dress

Modest evening wear, handmade in our Dubai atelier: abayas and kimono abayas elegant enough for a wedding, and truly modest.

  • Modest from neck to ankles — long sleeves, loose fit, no unwanted transparency.
  • Complete sets — most styles come with a matching slip and scarf.
  • Lace, organza, silk — beaded guipure, floral organza, 100% silk, premium Korean nidah.
  • Sizes 34 to 48 — six lengths, from 1.50 m to 1.80 m.

Find an evening outfit that is truly modest

It's a problem everyone knows: off-the-rack evening dresses are low-cut, slit, or short-sleeved. You then have to layer up, add a bolero, and the silhouette loses its elegance.

Our styles solve the problem in a single piece. The kimono abaya fastens with a single button and is worn over its long-sleeved slip: the result drapes like a long dress, without compromising on modesty. The lace or organza styles are always lined with an opaque slip.

What exactly is a Dubai dress?

What we call a Dubai dress is not a dress in the Western sense of the word. It is a long, flowing piece worn over a slip, with all the craftsmanship focused on the sleeves, the plastron, and the finishes — needlework embroidery, beads, guipure lace, rhinestones applied one by one.

In our collection, the Dubai dress takes three forms. The abaya, closed or buttoned at the front, the most understated. The kimono abaya, open, worn over its matching slip: this is the one that looks most like a long dress once worn. And the makhawir, the traditional Emirati dress, with an oversized cut and hand embroidery, the most spectacular of the three. All are handmade in our Dubai atelier, in small batches.

If you are unsure about the style, start with the occasion: the kimono abaya for a wedding guest, the makhawir for a major family ceremony, the abaya for a formal dinner.

For what occasion

Weddings and receptions, engagements, major family ceremonies, formal dinners. For a wedding guest, light colors — champagne, powder pink, beige, white — and pieces embroidered with beads are the most in-demand. Black and midnight blue remain the safe choices for an evening out.
