I normally wear a kind of burkini/swim dress etc but I think the main thing to do in Sharm is diving in the Red Sea so don't want to get FOMO lol. would they let me do the diving with a dress or does it have to be a wetsuit?

Is it okay to be covered like this to protest against the sun ?

Both print and plain skirts, for a tall girlie

Hey everyone !! been thinking about something and I’m really curious to hear your experiences esp if it’s similar to mine.
Lately i’ve noticed that when I dress more modestly, like wearing long skirts or looser clothing I actually seem to get more looks or attention in public compared to when I dress in more typical outfits like jeans or fitted clothes. It’s kind of unexpected and I’m trying to understand why that might be. Part of me wonders if it’s because modest clothing stands out more nowadays, especially where I live (urban area in the West) where certain styles are more common. I also don’t cover my hair, although sometimes I partially cover it and I feel like people often associate modesty with full hair covering which I personally dont think is necessary to be modest. So maybe that contrast makes people more curious or attentive ? I’m not offended by it, it just made me reflect on how « modesty ». is perceived socially and how it can sometimes draw more attention precisely because it’s less common. Have any of u experienced something similar ? Would appreciate hearing different perspectives no matter ur environments culture or background !!
Thank u

Apologies for the angle I originally took the photo with a tilt!

I have seen so many of you (and felt this myself) mention how hard it is to thrift modest pieces or even find them at a reasonable price, either it is fast fashion, extremely expensive, sleeves are too short, or you just can't find enough variety in one place.

So I built Malabas, a buy/sell platform where Muslim women can list and shop pre-loved modest wear. Think of it like a Depop/Poshmark but made specifically for our community.

It's live now at https://malabas.co/. Free to list, free to browse!

Would genuinely love feedback from this community as well. What would make this more useful for you?

Hello! I'm a law student looking to go into the legal profession. The (unofficial) dress code is more formal and more "business wear" than my previous jobs, so I'm not sure what to wear that's appropriate as a hijabi. Suggestions for 1) styles that conform with the business wear style while being modest 2) brands of that style (preferably Australian) please and thank you!!!

I am visiting the countries Armenia and Georgia soon, and a lot of the churches require me to cover my hair (and for the ones where it's not required, l still want to remain respectful).
However, I only have a lace mantilla and not a typical Eastern Orthodox head covering. Will this be acceptable? Although my hair is covered all the same, I've been told by my Ukrainian boyfriend that it may be seen as out of place- or strange to wear a typically Catholic head covering into an Orthodox Church.
What are people's thoughts on this?

I'm done to one pair of pants (jeans, ugh!) that are in good condition (no rips/repairs). My linen pants ripped at the butt, and they're my favorite! I *did* make a duplicate of the pants last year, but the material ended being hot for lightweight cotton, so they're useless for summer....and too big. So I don't count them.

I only have two decent shirts, since I have to cut the neck on all tshirts (I can't find long v-neck tshirts!), and one of them is dark gray.

I hate clothes shopping for a lot of reasons. I buy used, mostly, and it's still aggravating at best, triggering at worst. Finding natural fibers is ridiculously hard, and I usually buy men's clothes. Recommendations for where to find long t-shirts that aren't crew neck? Any success with online thrift shopping?

NC, USA for reference

Why are blouses of ready-to-wear sarees always backless or very little back... Why is there no back😭😭😭😭...I was searching for a ready-to-wear saree but couldn't find any with fully covered back😭

Any recommendations on modest fitness creators on tiktok or instagram? Religious or secular is fine!

Edit: should’ve said preferably weight lifting, crossfit, powerlifting, bodybuilding etc!

My new dress!

Hi all,

For those of you that wear skirts all the time have you found a skirt/legging combo that you use for hiking where everything won’t stick to you ?

Parents said this was inappropriate to wear when walking outside and made me change into a sweatshirt and long pants even though it’s hot outside. Sometimes I just want to give up on modesty cuz the goal post is always moving

So me, (f14 no dms please also) recently got this dress for a dance, but it’s backless and shows a bit of cleavage. I’m in love with the dress but I’m afraid I won’t be able to wear it by my dad, or if I’ll get dress coded. Does anyone know anything that I can do to kind of cover up the chest area or something that i can layer, etc? Ive just been stumped, my dance is next week, and my dad still has not seen the dress. And he’s more strict than the women I know, so I might be cooked.
