Six Gorgeous Maxi Dresses/Abayas I Fall in Love with recently
FashFaith's Picks featuring: Mullani, Inayah, Aab Collection.
Opening year 2013, started with me wondering that I would love to try out wearing more frequently maxi dresses or abayas. Before I wear hijab, I am a 'jeans-tee girl all day long'.. The first time I wore hijab, the jeans or pants were still remain, I just changed the tops, from short-sleeved t-shirt became long-sleeved tunics/blouses/shirts or mini dresses.
I wore skirts or maxi dresses only when I go to the formal events, to the Eid prayers, attending 'pengajian' (Qur'an recitation and preach by Islamic scholars), wedding parties, or to the beaches (I love wearing thin-but not-sheer, lightweight, flowy skirts in the beaches instead of jeans.. of course.. you do, too, don't you?).
I am also an active mom, nurturing two active young boys with me trying to keep up with them. I sometimes ride a bicycle or motorcycle which makes me choosing to wear jeans and pants even more.
But lately, I have a desire to wear skirts and dresses more often. I feel pretty when I wear them :) My appearances look way-more-feminine with skirts or maxi dresses; and with the "right" (comfortable = cool, breathe-y, lightweight) materials, it is felt more easy-breezy and comfort. Yet, I have to remind myself to not move too actively and should be "well-behaved" when I sit or walk.. So, the skirt/dress I wear won't be tangled or hitched to anything.. ;)
Recently, the lovely ladies from Mullani fashion label and Inayah Collection introduced me to their collection. I visited the links they gave to their website, and I directly fall in love with some pieces from their collection.
I also visited Aab Collection's site because I recalled that they also have gorgeous abayas. Aab and Inayah even have abaya collection specialized for maternity.
Here are some gorgeous maxi dresses or abayas I hand-picked that I couldn't resist to fell in love with.. ;)
From Mullani fashion line, I really got into these two stunning dresses! I love the cut, the design, the pleats, how it drapes, the cuffed-sleeves, the buttons, the bow-tie.. everything!
