Airy kaftans

Assalamu 3alaykom ,

recently i have got a beautiful kaftan from Turkey , very soft and thin material on a light rainbow colors. Chiffon materials defines me very well , i love it ! The thing that i dislike is the transparency which i'm not very comfortable with it, means i can't wear it unless i will bring it to the tailor and add some more material under. 

I don't understand why they don't make the material double in order to reduce the transparency .

In Turkey i saw many beautiful dresses, the prices cheaper and the bargain could make the price less.

Some 3abaya's and jelabiyah's are more expansive in Turkey than in Emirates, the models and quality are lower but they are best to be bought from Emirates if i have to choose between those countries. 

Now i wanna show you my new kaftan, is it similar to those kaftans, when it will be ready i will picture it inshallah.

At least those have got some material under it, not full but there is ...

I wear those types of kaftans on summer hot season.

Emirates shaylah season style

I found this tips on how to wrap your shaylah, tips given by the famous Rabia designer.

Face up to the facts

Wide, long and narrow face shapes should opt for a hijab which adds volume to their face. Shaylas and wraps generally suit most women, depending on how high or low these are placed on the forehead. Steer clear of triangular hijabs - they do not suit everyone.

Do:

• Use a cotton base band under the scarf to allow the scalp to breathe.
• Add volume to your hijab with a flower clip under the base band.
• Try new colours and experiment with different prints.
• Use accessories.
• Ask friends and family for advice on what suits you best.
• Choose colours that complement your skin tone.
• Have at least one each of a black, jewel-tone and neutral scarf.

Don't

• Go over the top with heavily-embellished shaylas, unless it’s a special occasion.
• Wear synthetic fabric hijabs; it can cause hair loss.
• Wear silk shaylas without a cotton base wrap; it will constantly slip off your head.
• Layer on many shaylas; it gets hot and makes it seem as if you are trying too hard!

Trousers fashion

For those persons who adore trousers and they like to wear it on a daily basis, and for those who would like to change sometimes their regular traditional dresses or skirts into casual look , here i found some ideas how can we combine the trousers.

Dresses for Eid and weddings

I will start with that kind of dresses for Eid parties, where in some cases we women we are toghether in family, no man there, but that doesn't mean that men won't be present later on at the party :) So those dresses are best to be on family parties , just to feel confortable, but if you wish to use it at some parties kept on different places with  non mahrams guests, then is it preferable that you should put under just a lovely turtle plain top or to use the  or  to take a bolero in tone with your dress or just  to put on top a plain black open 3abaya.  .

The last ones are pretty nice for a wedding party :)
