tummy bummy mummy

i got an email from a reader asking what she should wear.. the sister said she is a full figured hijabi and wants to know what she should wear to suit her figure.

I definitely think you should stick to a darker colour on your body. the best is a block colour abaya - one simple colour with no decorations on the body to attract attention to your trouble areas. I would suggest a dark coloured abaya. If you do not wear abaya then i would suggest choosing a long skirt/top or long dress/cardigan all in the same colour - this will also make you look taller... wanna wear a brown skirt? then wear a brown top as well.. get it?

i find that if you keep your clothing as simple as can be and decorate yourself through your hijab/bags/shoes/etc - you will direct attention away from your body and to the other areas.

check out the pic below - keep it simple with a black abaya and jazz up your outfit with splashes of colour in your hijab, bag, shoes and accessories. that way the colour will draw the attention and your body wont.

Remember you cant hide your body, it is what it is, but you can direct attention elsewhere.
