Vintage Couture Scarfing

Hijab Tutorial

Once again I would love to share a video tutorial from the lovely Amena that I found on her YouTube channel, title "Vintage Couture Scarf Tutorial and Coverage Tips".

And you know what... I'm craving for that vintage couture scarf shown in this video... :)

Not quite long back ago, I've ever found a similar kind of scarf in my favorite hijab store in my city, but... it came in a shorter width than the one shown in this video. I really love the hijab look and the material with the flowers embellishment on it... beautiful.

At that time I have no idea on how to wear it, because it was too transparent (half of it was lace) and it was too short in width. So, I left the scarf and, as the time went by, I forgot about it. Then, I watched this video and I fell in love again with that kind of scarf... :)

Thanks to Amena that show us one of the ways to wear it, and it looks so gorgeous on her! :)




Also love this vintage couture scarf in teal, shown in the video below, title "Outfit of the Day: Autumn Lace":

Hijab Tutorial: My Simple Square-Scarf Style (2)

This post is a continuation of my previous post about how I wrap my hijab in simple style using my square scarf.

From the feedback I got, some people thought that my tutorial is rather hard to be understood because of the lack of the pictures. I'm sorry for that. That issue had crossed my mind before I published the tutorial, but I thought I had made a clear explanation on the tutorial, which in reality, some people think it's still hard to imagine without pictures.

I'm sorry, my lovely Readers. Here, I made some pictures that explain how to wrap the square scarf. Hope it would help and you love the style! :)

I will re-write the step by step on how to wrap the scarf:

1. Fold the square scarf into half (rectangle shape).
2. Put the scarf (that has been folded) on your head with one side of the scarf is longer than another side, and pin it below your chin.



3. Take the edge of the longer side of the scarf, then pull it over your head. Then pin the upper end-tip of the scarf on the top of your head (not too high) with a brooch or any other hijab accessories. 





The hijab wrap will look like this:



It's simple, right? Is this something you'd like to try?

You can see me wearing this style here.

Shayla Wrap Tutorial inspired by Amal Murad

The Sewist on YouTube published an easy shayla style tutorial inspired by clothing line of Amal Murad, a Fashion Abaya Designer from Dubai, UAE.

If you have a long scarf or pashmina with some embroideries or embellishments at its end, you can wrap it like this (shown in the video) to show up the beautiful edge of the scarf on your forehead, as opposed to the side as traditionally worn, especially if the embroidery or the embellishment is matching with your clothes.



Thank you to Mayya, The Sewist, for making this tutorial :) You can also subscribe for more of her videos here on YouTube.
