Houda,
Cream silk sounds fab but I just don't suit the colour. Am a bit pasty & even with fake tan, it's just not a colour which suits me. Maybe without a hijab yes but with it - too much cream makes me even more sallow
Have pale gold one instead
I like the boho & modern versions of jellabas etc. Makes them more wearable to me. Different shapes, fabrics etc. While I like traditional shapes & stuff, I like a bit of originality if I'm going to spend big money on evening wear. Even more so with daywear. Mix & match beldi & Western clothing.
Like Andalousi says, everyone loves our stuff. I find that you get stopped in the street a lot by people wanting to know where you got your stuff from
I know what you mean about ready to wear - it can be hard sometimes but there is really so much to choose from if you are prepared to spend all day traipsing around till you find something. That's the charm of the Souk tho' isn't it? You have to rummage for buried treasures
