WHAT IS BEST FABRIC FOR A JILBAB, SKIRT, TOP, ETC.


We get this question quite often but there is no simple answer. This depends on what you are comfortable with, how you function, where you go, if you are outdoors a lot, seasons etc.

For example, I do not like my clothing to be wrinkled. I would rather be a little warmer than have on wrinkled clothing but then again I do not spend a lot of time outdoors in warmer weather. I do not ride the bus and train a lot. I am mostly in an out of the car.

If you do not mind the wrinkles that comes with wearing cotton or linen which are both natural fabrics,then that is a good choice for you. Ironing is usually required for both. Note that currently many fabrics are being blended or mixed with other fabrics for better wear and care.

Polyesters are not a natural fabric but many garments are made from polyester. Some of our garments like the a-line jilbab are made of polyesters, peachskin and koshibo. The advantage of these is less wrinkling or basically a wash and wear garment. I mostly wear, peachskin, koshibo and crepe(another polyester) pretty much assuring me of a wrinkle free garment and care is also quite easy as they can be washed even in the machine.

In conclusion, if the warmer weather is a serious concern for you, wear linen and cottons which are cooler, natural fabrics and also look into rayon. If you can want more of a care-free garment wear various polyesters or fabrics similar that do not require a lot of care.

As salaamu alaykum,

Ok, have not been here in a bit but wanted to mention. I knew something was wrong today when my jilbab was moving "funny". After arriving home I realized I had forgotten to put on my slip. Yes, I wear a slip under my jilbab as well as pants. What does a slip do? If you have even walked when wearing an jilbab and it keep going between your legs, a slip reduces that. Also if you are wear a cotton garment and cotton pants under your jilbab and no slip, it creates a situation where your jilbab starts to bunch up and rise. Wear a slip preferably a polyester type slip under your jilbab and problem solved.
