I need a big poofy ball gown that rustles and trails the ground when I walk. Seriously need it, but it's way out of my price range, when would I ever use it, and lbr it would not look good with a hijab.

One of these might be OK? Prolly still out of your price range -- search terms were Edwardian ballgown, high neckline, if that helps.

For what it's worth, I think some of those dresses could look really neat with a hijab.

... Now I really want to draw a picture of a princess with a poofy ball gown and hijab.

I did a quick google search for hijabs and I'd say something like this could be merged well with a ballgown, what do you think?

Oh yeah, that style of hijab is specifically for dresses and a more Western style of dress, particularly wedding dresses. Let me tell you though, those things are suffocating. Good enough for a wedding day if you're dedicated to style, but I'd rather wear something far more comfortable no matter what the occasion.

Besides, your hijab is supposed to cover your chest area for religious reasons and I know that style usually goes underneath the clothes. I'd show you a picture of how best to wear the hijab to comply with Islamic rules of covering the aurah, but Google is not being helpful and I don't have a phone that can take a selfie atm.

If you don't mind me asking, why are they suffocating? Is it because hijabs need to be of a certain material or thickness?

And do you mean that the hijab still needs to flow over the chest area, even if that area is already covered by clothing? Basically it still needs to disguise the 'shape' of the chest? Because I did some google image searches of things like hijab wedding dresses and found things like this and ; do they comply with Islamic clothing rules?

Thanks a lot for answering all these questions. It's just your comment sparked off some inspiration and I need to practice clothing so I thought it'd be a fun exercise.

Because that type of hijab usually either has padding on the rectangle that frames the top of the head to give it shape (like that first picture you linked), or it clings to the top of the head and to the area underneath the chin (like your second picture), whereas most hijabs just hang loose underneath the chin and usually don't cling to the top of your head either.

Yeah, the hijab needs to flow over the chest area to hide the general shape (so wearing a coat over your hijab would be fine). I wouldn't say those comply either. Sad to say it, but a lot of hijabi fashion does not actually comply with Islamic rules these days.

Oh, I found pictures of my aunt's wedding! Our family is very strongly religious so her wedding dress was gorgeous and complied with Islamic rules. You can't really see her hijab because it's white the same colour as her dress, but it flows to below her chest: here with some of her cousins, and the way her cousins wear their hijab is how most of us do it on a casual day. I'm sure you can tell that my aunt the one in white. Here's more of a close-up, and the goof sitting next to her is me. You can see how I wear mine differently from my cousins, that's how I wear my hijab when I'm too lazy to pin it up (I know, shame on me for being too lazy even for my aunt's wedding).

I don't mind the questions, I'm happy to be asked :) I love talking about my religion, as you can probably tell from my long replies.
