So I was sent a jalabiya by the company Wahat Aljalabiya, a huge franchise with 79 branches in the middle east. They have a huge variety of kaftans, jilbabs, jalabiyas, abayas in a multitude of colours and gorgeous fabrics. The funny thing is that they emailed me with the suggestion that they send me this particular jalabiya as it had a kind of (and I quote) 'Aussi Crocodile' look to it! That made me laugh so much as it sort of does with its brown, beige and gold tones, kind of like the Australian Desert/Crocodile skin. Yay for being an Aussie! :)
The jalabiya is to an absolute pleasure to wear as it is 100% cotton and perfect for our hot Aussie summers. I actually wore this in 37c degree heat (98.6F) and it kept me so cool as it allowed the breeze to enter the natural fabric. It was also really comfortable as it wasn't tight or constricting.
To style this beautiful piece I thought I would shnazzy it up by wearing my woven platform heels in a similar tone to the jalabiya and a snake skin clutch with a nude satin hijab. I think the overall look would be absolutely be appropriate for a night out with friends or a dinner party as it has that gorgeous golden embroidery on the neckline to make it stand out. Having said that this can also be worn in a more casual manner swapping the heels for strappy flats and changing the hijab from satin to a cotton shawl hijab in a beige or brown tone.

I really like this Jalabiya, it's a very nice print I adore polka dot prints. I love the neckline it is very eye catching and who needs a necklace. I like the way you put the hijab together with it, it looks very chic. I would like to win this giveaway because this Jalabiya would be a staple piece in my closet and would wear it in so many ways.

i love it!!!
Love the outfit as a whole. The actual jilbab/dress/kaftan looks quite traditional and tribal-esque, but the way you've acessorised it makes it look really up to date/modern and I love the mix of that. Beautiful xx.
Woooow machallah u r an inspiration,it's very chic and sophisticated Jalabiya,and yet modest at the same time, It's a very unique and
unparalleled style ,shows that a muslim women can be extra elegant and beautiful I would be honored to wear such a beautiful piece of clothing and be proud to proclaim to the world that I am a Muslim woman, modest, beautiful and proud.
you look like a star in this Jalabiya and i woud like to be a star too
super love your nude pumps! <3!
where do you buy these satin hijabs from? ive never seen them in pakistan
Salams sis, about to purchase one of these inshaAllah but im not sure about their length... i'm 5'9 so could you tell me if they have plenty of length to them or are they better for petite's?
Khulood I buy them from Skarf on FB. Amani all their jalabiyas are very long this one is a size large and I needed to wear platform heels so that it didn't touch the floor. I am 5" 6 inch
