Alexa, does it have to be black?? Why can't it be in many different and wonderful colours? I mean I think this would be a chance to show such a creative edge to islamic fashion that isn't tight and shows a womens body..

 I love the arabic jalabias that really play with design as well as modesty.

What do you think about the jalabias on this site??

For me some of it seems a bit too outlandish and impractical. At the same time some of the clothing on www.shukr.co.uk feel boring, less then average material and still impractical.
