Question I don't want to be disrespectful

20 Upvotes

21F white woman. I live in a community with a large Muslim population, so there's quite a few cute little clothing stores ran by families with the long dresses and different head wraps. These clothes are absolutely gorgeous. The embroidery, the detailing, the colors. I'm a cashier and I saw this older couple and she had the most beautiful head wrap I've ever seen in my life, dark blue with maroon embroidery all over and jewels. She said it was her traditional wrap from Pakistan, so that made me second guess buying something for myself

I'm afraid of making a fool of myself or invading their space by going in and looking around, or appropriating a special religious or traditional reason I don't know about. I don't dress modestly, at least not all the time, but I love skirts and dresses and I want to buy at least one of these so badly. I don't care if people assume I'm doing it religiously, but I wanted to ask if there was anything wrong with doing it just because they're beautiful clothes rather than for just modesty

How can I style the top modestly? I've tried posting to fashion advice and styling subs but that didn't work for me so I found this one. ​

Question Trying to find what it’s called

6 Upvotes

Hello, I hope this is okay to post in this subreddit!

I was leaving the grocery store yesterday when I saw a woman wearing the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen in my life. It was long and flowy with embroidery on the hem and a layered flowy top part. It looked like a thicker linen or maybe a summer weight wool. Then I noticed that the headdress the woman was wearing (which matched perfectly to her dress) was actually attached to the top of her dress, so it was all one unit.

I hope I’m describing it alright. I would have asked her about it but I was driving by and she was walking.

I live in a part of the states that has a high population of people from the Middle East and from India. I mention it in case it may be helpful.

I thought it was so beautiful! I would love to know what it’s called and look more into it. If you have any ideas what I could search to try and find it, please let me know!

Modest nightgowns?

7 Upvotes

Does anyone have recommendations for beautiful but modest nightgowns please?

Perhaps something with the vibes of a long, elegant lace trimmed slip but with more substantial sleeves, but I'm also open to any suggestions of any style. No matter how pretty slips are, the tops tend to move around in the night which I'm not a fan of, so I'd like something that stays in place and provides more coverage.

Looking for something feminine but modest enough not to have to put a robe on top of if I were staying at someone's house, so below the knees, chest coverage, not sheer, sleeves of some sort (ideally long).

Ideally not too expensive ($20 USD or less)

Thank you!
