I have felt that women who are pushing the limits of modesty with their provocative dress are trying to “feel like women." The saying "less isn't always best" is very true. Women don't have to reveal so much skin to be sexy, debonair, fashionable, or in trend. I felt that is was a duty being of Muslim faith to make a blog based upon Islamic garbing. It is in the Islamic religion that women dress modest and non-revealing, The Holy Quran states: Surah an-Nur verse 31 reads:
And say to the faithful women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and to extend their head coverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms, and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to God together, O you the faithful, in order that you are successful.
I have noticed the lack of fashion that goes into dressing modest and wanted to show some ways to accomplish this fashion yet being trendy. There have been many celebs that have worn modest clothing and Islamic fashions have also hit the runway. Dressing modest doesn't mean you have to wear froppy or bland clothing, it simply means wearing correct lengths, sizes, non revealing, and complimentary clothing.
