bastardsword, posting in modest_style @ 8:07am: Replacements for Be Precious clothing?
Oh man. Be Precious clothing had the bestest tznius (covering collarbones and elbows) layering shells ever. They felt sturdy without being bulky; they never slid up or around; they didn't become puffrags* like Kosher Casual's did, and they actually looked nice...

...but now Funky Frum has absorbed BP into its universe, and since (1) the site is still somewhat broken, so I'm not going to shop there if I can avoid it and (2) none of the BP shells have migrated over, and probably never will, I really want to know: what are your favourite layering shell suppliers? Bonus points if they ship to Canada.

*puffrags: you know those little balls of fabric that accumulate on the surface of your clothing when you've washed it too much? Yeah, those.

We were discussing saris in another post and how beautiful they are and it got me thinking: does anyone have any idea where to find modest sari cholis? After searching the web, I've found cholis that are long, but bare in the back, or covered in the back but with short sleeves. Using a lehenga choli may work but it may not be in the same style as a sari.

So, does anyone know where to find some modest sari blouses?

Thanks :).

...I have decided that one garment that would make my scruffy-hijabi life easier would be a Moroccan-style djellaba -- the kind with the hood. However, I'm getting little to no joy in searching one out (I can find them for men which would be frankly too long/big, but few for women -- and I *know* there are djellabas for women). Found a burnoose, but not a djellaba.

Anyone know a good source for getting a woman's djellaba?

ETA: I have found *one*: http://www.shop-morocco.com/9101-womens-djellaba-457-p.asp

Very nice! I might get this very one, but if anyone knows of anything else...
