Re: Islamic dressing - abayas and scarfs

As far as scarfs are concerned... i find it best (economically an otherwise) to go out and buy the material, and then get someone to overlock the edges.

For example, I liked a material, got a square piece that cost me $3, took it to pakistan to get it overlocked; Rs 15..... a SCARF from the same material I see in a shop months later for $15!!! some of the scarf can be quite pricey... i mean paying $15-20/ scarf is a bit much considering u need it for everyday wear...

I really love the chadors u get from pakistan as scarves but i’m sure they’re not very practical to wear every single day.. esp when the weather gets warmer… Like these

Sara.. I have a collection of these chadars too.. I absolutely love them but I would never wear any of these as a scarf.. hijab has to be a georgette material so it frames your face better than these chadars.. these are good to wrap around your shoulders but I never liked the way they sit on your head. very painduish!! :D

thanks, everyone. this is really nice set of resources for what i asked about.
good shawls are always less. designs, colors and fabric enable grace to us women.

It’z quite difficult to get the hang of wearing the pashmina shawlz around ur head as a hijaab, but wen pinned in the right places they do look gud! :@: i personally prefer wearing the square scarves, they sit nicely, dont hav to worry abt them moving out of place, and pinks yeh i have done tht before too, bought scarf material and had the sides over-locked makes a great Hijaab! and works out cheaper aswell :phati:

Re: Islamic dressing - abayas and scarfs

how do u pin it like tht..i love the pashmina scarves..i basically like the material..but i can never wear it properly on western clothes..cuz they always end up looking like a duppata on me..i dont know how to pin them any other way without them looking dupata-ish..so if u could try and explain it to me..i would really be thankful

Re: Islamic dressing - abayas and scarfs

well i first tie it in the back , then bring one side to front and wrap it around my chin up over my head and back around to my chin where i would pin it.

Re: Islamic dressing - abayas and scarfs

i also wear the pashmina shawls as scarves but not in hot weather, its so tough. If i am going to some party or anything then shawl is good but outside no way.

Re: Islamic dressing - abayas and scarfs

Afshi.. you are an exception.. you can pull off anything as a scarf... seriously, after looking at the variety of your scarves I know that you can even pull off a bed sheet elegantly. Moreover, everything suits you just fine. :-)

Personally I still dun like pashmina shawls as scarves.. I prefer the georgette ones!!! meri marzi!! :p

ps: the price range for pashmina shawls is usually between Rs.250-Rs.400 in Pakistan.
