Re: formal western wear for muslims
if you're not a skirt person like me, you could wear nice black dress pants with high heels and a frilly printed blouse.
There's a 'proper' way to wear hijab? "At least [she's wearing] a hijab! How well she will be rewarded by Allah is up to HIM... Anyways, lets try not to make this thread a thread for "right and wrong hijab", lets all stick with the topic". ;-)
My sister and her husband go to a lot of formal black tie events, and she dresses modestly. She wears for the bottoms, either:
Black satin wide leg pant, ankle length black chiffon skirt, black chiffon two-legged wide pants, taffeta long black skirt with a train. She pairs these with evening jackets, blouses pr other lovely tops and the right accessories.
For less formal events, she will wear pant suits with a nice blouse or tailored trousers or ankle length skirts with a nice top or sweater set.
You can dress for the crowd you're with, but still be modestly attired.

Re: formal western wear for muslims
in western culture long tops with skinny jeans are very much in fashion.
You cud wear a long skirt. Or flared trousers with nice heels and a nice blouse.
For a wedding get a nice dress.

That's why I posted that video .. its not an indian/pakistani dress. Its more of a western style dress suitable for muslim ladies.
Sorry, but I wasn't the one who brought hijab (worn “properly” or otherwise) into the discussion.
The definition of formal is a relative fluid one: there’s “business formal”, “white tie”, “black tie” etc… What qualifies as “formal” in one country or context, might not be considered formal in another. Case in point: evening wedding receptions are considered black-tie affairs in the West, but I have yet to see one Desi groom (in the West or elsewhere) don an actual tuxedo; instead they wear “business suits” to their own weddings!
If you’re going to a properly ‘formal’ function, the suggested attire will often be noted on the invitation (“casual”, “business casual”, semi-formal", etc…). If you’re still not sure what to wear, it wouldn’t hurt to contact the organizer/host of an event and politely ask what dress code (if any) should be observed; use this opportunity to ask for some suggestions about attire. Who knows: depending on the function itself, you could just get away with wearing your nicest saree!
Hope that helps.

There's a dirty joke somewhere in there, but I'm not taking the bait! Nice try, though. ;-)
very pretty dress though i don’t like the bust style. it makes chest area so prominent.
Re: formal western wear for muslims
It's easier these days to wear modest clothes-I go networking events, parties etc and can find a range of clothes to suit.
I have long skirts, posh looking trousers that are loose fitted, long elegant tops which are made of nice materials that can be worn with nice costume jewellery for bit of va-va-voom.
Are you purchasing clothes in the UK or will you buy stuff somewhere else?
I did, interestingly enough, and am glad you thought enough of me to share it! :-)
^ aww
