i have been seeing a little bit of this tight belt over tight abaya look recently. (saw heaps on eid that i admired the style of - but not the tightness). first of all - your abaya isnt supposed to be tight. if you give any abaya tailor your measurements, they will make your garment at least two inches wider than your measurements, to make sure it is loose on you, so you shouldnt be in tight abaya anyway. but wearing a waist cinching belt on top of your tight abaya just completely ruins the look.
here is what i mean:
style-wise it is stylish and fantastic. i like the look myself - but - as a muslimah you have to make sure whatever you are wearing is loose against your body and this look not only cinches in the waist area, but also the chest.
ways around it:
wear the belt, but use a much looser abaya, one that will allow you to hang the material over the belt so the waist isnt cinched in and so you have this cascading abaya-over-belt look that looks equally stylish, yet still modest. if that still isnt modest enough for you, how about wearing a nice jacket over the top? you can still have the belted look going on and hide those curves.
