Melbourne Souq Featuring Dian Pelangi

I recently attended a fantastic event called the Melbourne Souq featuring local Melbourne talent as well as international celebrities. Organised by YIMSA, this event was designed to bring young Indonesians living in Australia together as well as unite all Muslims here in Melbourne together. The main attraction of the event was of course the beautiful Dian Pelangi and her gorgeous designs. This is the second time I have had the pleasure of viewing her collection and meeting the talented designer herself.
I took photos with my camera but my computer at home is so stuffed up (overheats within ten minutes of turning it on) that I can't even be bothered dealing with it. So here are some pictures I took with my phone. Not bad eh?
I was lucky enough to get backstage access so I snapped a few candid shots of the beautiful models looking fine!
Enjoy!

You all know I love the 1920's, and this 20's inspired floral abayaesque jacket is right up my alley. I loved the drape and over sized sleeves. I forgot to take a picture of the special details on the sleeves and along the front of the abaya. Inshallah next time I wear it I will surely take a picture.

HalfTee ~ A Must have

Salams!

I was recently sent another HalfTee to review for all my lovely readers. I already own the black and white turtle neck version so this time I was sent a cream round neck version to try out. 

I love these modesty tops as they are so versatile and well made. 

The fabric is a super soft cotton spandex which translates into the most comfortable and stretchy material. It feels like wearing nothing at all. The stitching is minimal so there is no itching and finishes seamlessly. But the best part of a HalfTee is in its name! It is a crop top that ends just beneath the bust so  there isn't any bunching underneath those delicate outfits. The HalfTee ensures a completely discreet look that is comfortable.

Before I jump into the review I just want to let you all know that lucky readers of Hijab Revival get a whopping 20% off their next purchase! Just quote revival20 at the checkout!

Here I am with a recent Wahat Aljalabiya review, the sleeves if this gorgeous kaftan was sheer so of course I had to wear my black HalfTee underneath to ensure modesty.

Majesty by Wahat Aljalabiya & Competition!

Salams my lovelies,

Here I am again with another Wahat Aljalabiya review of the most gorgeous kaftan I own. I have been sent many beautiful pieces of clothing from Wahat Aljalabiya but I think the Majesty Butterfly  has taken the cake in terms of detail, comfortability and style. I love its butterfly sleeves and its deep purple hue makes the hand made silvery taupe beading and embroidery stand out even more. Absolutely perfect for a henna night or wedding this stunner will surely turn heads.

Styling this piece was easy, all I had to do was put it on! I wore simple black heels, a gigantic black ring and a glittery shawl hijab that matches the colour of the bust and cuff embroidery/beading. When wearing such intricate pieces I think it is best to keep everything else simple and chic.

 The skirt of the kaftan is in a floral design, again kept in the same hue of the rest of the piece. There are two tie strings at the waist of the kaftan that is hidden underneath, this is to ensure a good fit and add a bit of shape. Tieing this is completely optional, you can choose to leave it loose though I must admit I did try it and it felt insecure and all over the place!

The kaftan comes with a sleeveless purple satin dress. To cover the arms I wore a HalfTee black crop turtle neck top.
