Quality control for abayas is essential to ensure they meet high standards in terms of fabric, stitching, design, durability, and overall presentation.

Fabric Quality Check

Ensure the fabric used matches the specifications (e.g., nida, chiffon, crepe, silk, cotton, etc.).  Check for stains, discoloration, holes, or fabric pulls. Ensure the fabric does not shrink or wrinkle excessively after washing.

Stitching & Construction

Ensure seams are reinforced and do not come apart easily. Use high-quality thread matching the fabric color. Check for consistent stitch spacing and no loose threads. Ensure closures (buttons, zippers, snaps) are secure and properly aligned.

Sizing & Fit

Verify the abaya’s size against standard charts. Ensure sleeves, length, and width are consistent. Test for comfort when worn.

Design & Embellishments

Ensure beads, sequins, and embroidery are securely attached. Check that printed or embroidered designs are symmetrical and as per specifications. Ensure decorative elements are neatly finished and attached

Color & Dye Consistency

Ensure color consistency across batches. Verify that colors do not fade or bleed after washing. Ensure dyes are safe and do not cause irritation.

Labeling & Branding

Ensure all tags contain accurate size, material, care instructions, and branding. Check logo placements and printing quality. Ensure labels meet local regulations and standards.

Packaging & Presentation

Ensure abayas are folded properly to prevent creases. Use plastic or fabric covers to protect against dust and damage. Include brand tags, care instructions, and accessories (e.g., belts, scarves).

Final Inspection & Testing: 

Select a few pieces from each batch for detailed inspection. Have a sample tried on to check comfort and practicality. Consider past issues and customer complaints to improve quality
