Carrefour has some beautiful, everyday "house" jalabeeyas which I think would be perfect for a womans get-together. The fabric is good quality (for the price) and the emboroidery is lovely yet minimal. There are also really gaudy house dresses that are nice to washing dishes in. LOL<br /><br />note, today at the mall I found this 1 jalabeeyah shop that had really really nice Turkish style, button down denim jalabeeyahs (more like jilbabs in my book) with very very simple embroidery down the front. The jilbab came with matching pants. An outfit like that would be equally tasteful with a colorful shaylah and low heels.<br /><br />The alyashmak ones are gorg but seriously over the top (most of them) and really how often are you going to wear such a fancy jaleebyah anyway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923965432025935498.post-58994531744824589062009-10-07T01:56:06.852-07:002009-10-07T01:56:06.852-07:00Aisha: LOL, yeah I know.

So it's a jilbab also.Aïshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684944148094823090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923965432025935498.post-41800676619435506332009-10-06T18:04:20.912-07:002009-10-06T18:04:20.912-07:00I'm really glad you brought this up.

A lot of the abayas I seen being sold seem awfully fancy; in the spirit of humility and Muslim brother-and-sisterhood, I think it's better to wear clothes with simpler designs/fabrics. Then again, the clothes I like are REALLY plain, like Quaker-from-the-1800s plain, so I might not be the best person to take fashion advice from. :)Banana Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05199135544354929727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923965432025935498.post-45151725149573559432009-10-06T09:37:39.485-07:002009-10-06T09:37:39.485-07:00salam aleikom,i like the way you explained it. its...salam aleikom,i like the way you explained it. its confusing for me when looking online and the store will call it a jalabiya and not an abaya although it's pretty plain looking. but then again now we say 'hijab' and not 'khimaar'.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384224078079499574noreply@blogger.com
