ASC, sisters I have came across this website today and as I was browsing through, I came across your discussion board. Very fascinating topic you could say to those of us who would like to look stylish and modest. I have moved to Dubai few years ago from, America, and let me tell the abaya's I had with me were 'outdated' and to add insult; I was told that "Asian" women were known to wear such styles. I am talking about the stretchy material abaya's with straw hands and flawy bottom. Since, then I have become opposed in finding what I like to call "off the door abaya's", meaning something that would only require me to put and look beautiful without exaggerating my modesty. Something affordable and comfortable that wouldn't break the bank, but would give people my sense of style. The searching wasn't easy. I am for sure a 'picky' person, and in conclusion i wanted to fit in and not be identified as 'wanabe'. So my search continued until I found abaaya's that would flatter my body with a sass and colour. Here are some of the findings. I hope you all would like... I am sorry wouldn't let me do attachment but more then happy to email some of the styles I found and bought. shamsamohamed30@gmail.com
