I really like the fabric this one is made of:

Interesting. I've never seen a form-fitting burqa before.

They're so verstile:

But where do you put the dollar bills??

"Till the end of 1990s, burqa did not have any presence in Kerala’s dress code. In certain northern districts where Muslims have an absolute majority in terms of religious ratio, women used to wear it without causing any ideological or sociological conflicts. These districts also have strong connections with the Gulf countries and wearing burqa for the women is not just a religious thing but a thing of fashion and pride."

"Burqa is an integral part of Muslim culture. Women who are righteous opt to wear one. Interestingly, women have taken a bold step and glamorized the burqa. Here are some interesting transformations of the age-old burqa by Norway based designers Marked Moskva. Have a look and be inspired!"
