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.

COMPETITION DETAILS
I will quickly outline the competition details here before I begin the review. I appreciate all my readers and here is a small token of my appreciation :)

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.
