Long dresses

Every year fashion centers in Europe and America come up with the latest designs. And what have they designed? Another way of not covering the body; the dress equivalent of the home that provides no shelter and no privacy.

People of all religions agree on the need to cover themselves in public. Yet we also find a force that promotes nudity.

On the other hand, the first act of Satan was to cause Adam and Eve to expose themselves: "So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shameful parts became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the Garden over their bodies." [Al-A'raf 7:22].

Our dress should establish our Islamic identity.

This is a nice way of covering the body adequately with a decent appearance with this long dress, sleveed covered, neck hidden, with a trendy seam,bright colors and a proper hijab.This clothes can be wore a day time and evening as well .

Khimar

A general term for a woman's head and/or face veil. This word is sometimes used to describe a particular style of scarf that drapes over the entire top half of a woman's body, to the waist.

Abaya

Common in the Arab Gulf countries, a cloak for women which is worn over other clothing when in public. The abaya is usually made of black synthetic fiber, sometimes decorated with colored embroidery or sequins. The abaya may be worn from the top of the head to the ground (like the chador below), or over the shoulders. It is usually fastened closed. It may be combined with a head scarf or face veil.

Chador

An enveloping cloak worn by women, from the top of the head to the ground. Usually worn in Iran without a face veil. Unlike the abaya above, the chador is sometimes not fastened in the front.

Jilbab

Sometimes used as a general term, quoted from the Qur'an 33:59, for an over-garment or cloak worn by Muslim women when in public. Sometimes refers to a specific style of cloak, similar to the abaya but more fitted, and in a wider variety of fabrics and colors. It looks more similar to a long tailored coat.

Niqab

Burqa

Thobe ( dishdasha or kandoora )

Ghutra and Egal

A LITLLE ABOUT MOROCCO CODE DRESS

The most traditional clothing in Morocco is a djellaba. Djellabas are loose fitting garments that you put over whatever you are wearing, and serve well to hide your figure. However, dress codes are really varied in Morocco . There are djellabas for both men and women, however, women more commonly wear them. Morocco’s traditional clothing also includes kaftans, which are usually worn for weddings and celebrations. The difference between a djellaba and a kaftan is that kaftans do not have a hood, and they are often fancier ( as we see in those pictures )

Welcoming your guests

Welcoming your guests

When u have guest and you wanna look great and in the same time modest, no tight, no translucent clothes, and to feel comfortable when u move to serve your guests with coffee or sweets, then i think jalabeya's are the best choice for us.

Of course to all those beautiful jalabeya's must have our shayla' ( hijab ) .

Modest clothes

This is a nice way of wearing modest clothes. I like number 1 style and last one, as for the others i think won't fit me and that style is the best for a tall mature woman :)

I ordered from them 3 times so far and all of the items were great ... They have really nice and unexpencive abayas and tunics ,in different colors .. They recently updated their website with some new clothes ,and its really beautiful ... Another good thing about them is that you can choose your length and add matching hijab for abaya if you like...

They have really nice cotton tunics in lots of colors , and they start only from $ 9.99 ,12.99 and up .. Regarding shipping ,I never had any problems .From my understanding items are shipped from India ,but a year ago when I ordered before they used to be shipped from New York ,I think..

When you order it says that shipping takes 12-14 days ,but all my orders I received with 8-9 days ,and the last one was shipped from India and I received it on the 8th day of purchase ...
I really recommend them and these are some abays I have bought and really like ...
