There's a story behind their abaya. Around last year, while hunting for my abaya, the person that selling abaya asked if Alis could try on one kids abaya, belong to his Kuwaiti customer. Apparently, that lady's daughter was about Alis's age but she didn't bring her that day so she asked if Alis could model for her to see whether the abaya fit.



I took the abaya picture and decided to custom made for Alis and Erin this Syawal. Then during terawih this year, Alis made friends with few Kuwaiti kids and one of them always wore this Fulla abaya. I knew Alis love it so I decided to make their abaya, fulla theme. We show above picture to the tailor and I sketched where I wanted him to sew Fulla wordings. I even asked En Muddy to googled Fulla's image on his Iphone and showed it to the tailor so that he could imitate the wordings.

One wise advice when dealing with local tailor here is you're recommended to always go with their normal design, typical design, that they're specialized in. You can asked them to do things out of their norm. Just do expect the results to vary from your imagination ha ha ha. Don't have high expectation that they could meet up with your imagination, so you won't get too disappointed with the results later.

Sure enough I aimed low and the end product was just as I expected. To be fair, I'm quite happy with the abaya, the cutting and such. Small alteration needed but overall, it fits perfectly. Not really happy with the hood though and I'm a bit dissapointed with the Fulla wording as you can see in above picture, it's far cry from the real one kah kah kah. Takper, trial and error. Itu pun dah syukur takde typo error. Buat nye dari Fulla de jahit jadik Filla ker, Fullamak ker.. lagi satu hal. Nak tutup macam mana dah la menda tu tertepek atas kepala heheh. Next time I'll make sure to print the image and give it to them so they can refer.
