Description

A fresh, classic prayer set in crisp white scattered with tiny blue and sage flowers — the kind of print a young girl actually wants to wear, rather than one chosen for her. It comes as two pieces: a generous overhead khimar that drapes softly past the elbows and frames the face without needing a single pin, and a long, loose-fitting dress with full sleeves gathered into neat elasticated cuffs so they stay put through ruku and sujood. The fabric is a lightly textured waffle weave with a soft matte surface and a gentle body to it, which means it holds a clean shape instead of clinging, sits comfortably opaque, and stays breathable through longer prayers and warm rooms. The two-piece cut is worth having: she can adjust the khimar independently of the dress, and both pieces are easy for small hands to manage on their own. Perfect for daily salah, Jumu’ah, madrasah, taraweeh in Ramadan, and for keeping in a bag when travelling or visiting family. From Linda Hijab. Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle, reshape while damp, dry away from direct sunlight and cool iron the print on the reverse.
