muslim Women's clothing


The majority of Arab women dress conservatively.

Some women dress in clothes that do not cover their faces or hair, while others cover them.

For example, a very conservative woman might wear a long black garment called "Abayah" that covers her body from the shoulders down to her feet.

Under this cover she could be wearing a traditional Arabian dress in full body length with long sleeves and filled with beautiful bead work, or she could be wearing the latest style from an internationally known designer.

In addition to the Abayah, a very conservative woman would also wear a face and head cover.

Some women would wear the Abayah without the head and face cover, while others might wear a scarf-like cover called "Hejab" that covers the hair but not the face.
