Jilbaabis are so beautiful

TPOS —

I've been thinking about starting to wear a jibaab but im facing two problems:

  • 'am i really "ready" to wear one / "cover up"?'
  • "Is it really better to wear one?"

Concentrating on the second one...

See I think that most young women who wear jilbaabs actually look very pretty - whether they're in all black or have colour co-ordinated hijabs, bags etc.

So I'm thinking does the jilbaab actually add to the beauty?

Is it cuz we can only see their faces so they look better?

Or they actually just pretty?

:S

If people do look better in jilbaabs doesn't it go against the whole point of wearing one? :s

So do you think they are mostly very pretty? (and "why"?)

I think its important guys answer this question too.

am i the only whose trousers kinda TWIST around their leg under the jilbaab?

or is it because i wear too baggy trousers?
or because i walk too fast?

anyway, anybody experienced this?

what SHOULD you wear under jilbaab?
what about skirts? anybody wanna give me a lesson (or ten) on skirtwearing?

i know what you mean about twisting. sometimes it can be the fabric of the trouser not flowing against fabric of your jilbab i.e if they're both cotton for example. If one material was smoother silkier would slide over.

Yep can be if it;s too wide.

i have problem if i wear long boots, or boots with buckles, i can feel the jilbab riding up to the buckle at the back.

What about skirts..only problem with them is being careful getting in and out of transport. Or just make sure you wear ankle boots or longer with the skirt, then no worries about ankles being exposed.

i prefer trousers most the time more practical, but skirts are good sometimes, i love tweed skirts in winter.

i don;t know if im using the wrong term ocean, but here's the sort of thing i normally wear two pieces, i thght it was a khimar and jilbab, but perhaps its an abaya and khimar:

i thght abayas tend to have a bit of work on them or can be semi fitted? jilbabs more plain, wider etc. maybe someone can elaborate. i think the two terms of often mixed up or depending on what country you're in applied different.

As you can see those fasionistas on the link u forwarded are ripping off the khimar with their cape idea, sherlock holmes clearly stole the trend from muslim women lol. I love the cape coat, it was around last year aswell i remember. I did want one, but i never saw a high st one i liked enough.i saw a designer one i liked a lot,unfortunately i have an eye for expensive clothing, but my husbands eye is firmly on the lower end stuff lol. i can't complain its not within our means i might save up for a designer one. Here's one i like, and its cheaper than other ones i've seen:

Who said putting a sock on was easy?

Ever put a sock on standing up? Yep. That's what I'm talking about.

I don't understand the title of this thread.

Is it referring to inner beauty?

In which case, who says all women who wear them have inner beauty?

Also, why not 'modest women' or 'women in islamic dress' are all beautiful, why in particular women in jilbaabs?

And isn't the whole point meant to be about not caring about being beautiful? :/

Beauty is not banned, just restricted in some ways.

I talked to someone whose sister had converted to Islam who had asked about the dress and he had commented "Yeah just googled it, it is abaya. Actually looks quite beautiful even if its not intended to be".

(I think hr was mainly glad to be back in contact with his estranged sister and no, I dont normally seek people out - it was an accident. That is from a gaming forum, even though I have stopped playing games for a number of years now - they take too much effort.)

No it's not referring to inner beauty.

Jilbaabs in particular because that's what i wanted to talk about.

It was a stupid comment and excuse for me not to wear jilbaab.

i don;t think its a silly comment. I actually thght the same when i first saw a muslim woman wearing one, i thght she looked modest but elegant without trying.

Mashallah, i think this is exactly what all of us meant, but didnt have the right vocab (Y)

well..we arent suppose to look like shapeless tramps either. Maybe its a hidden blessing from Allah (subhanahouwata'ala) for trying to be good muslimahs?
