This is an open overhead abaya, much like the one that journalist Danielle Crittenden wore (see the Abaya Monologues series of posts).
The photo on the left is from Al Hediya's website, www.alhediya.com.
The overhead abaya on the right is shown worn with a niqab, and is from Desert Boutique, www.thedesertboutique.com.
Both sites are retailers based in Kuwait. It's possible Crittenden ordered from one of these shops - she described receiving a rather unusual-looking package from Kuwait - though I know for certain she did not order from the online retailer she named as her source - Al Hannah - because Al Hannah is not based in Kuwait but in the U.S., and ships from Connecticut, as is clearly explained on Al Hannah's website. Sloppy, sloppy journalism.
