It's like a abaya.. just different.


Do you see those long dresses all over now a days? You must have thought something along the lines of how much you wish you could wear something like that, or that you couldn't wear something like that.
You can! You just have to cover yourself up - and there are many ways to do this.

The idea came from this photo, but the way I did it, dressed it down and made it more hijabi appropriate - even though I think that the look below is gorgeous and would be perfect for a party.

The way above is wearing a black cardigan, black sandals, a black hijab, and a black bag. The reason I'm choosing so much black is because these dresses already demand so much attention, so you want to put more nuetrals and dark colors to make it look more casual, and take some of the attention away.
Another way to wear this: lond sleeve underneath.
The good about these dresses:

-> they're pretty and Oh-so fashionable
-> they cover every curve
-> they flatter everyone

MYTH: you have to be tall to wear these dresses
HIJABIFASHIONISTA TRUTH: For those of us who are tall, alhamdulilah and masha allah, for those of us who are short, alhamdulilah and masha allah. Why? Because we can both wear these dresses, they make everyone look taller.
