Drawn Together by Modesty

I went on a hunt for linen abaya in the summer of 2007 because it got so hot in Minnesota that summer. I didn’t care if I’d be a wrinkly mess! I just wanted to be cooler!

I ended up buying some linen items from HIWI Fashion, but their web site is down now. I cannot even find a cached page of theirs in Google. That is so disappointing! They had a unique style of clothing that couldn’t be identified as belonging to any specific country or region, and I was happy to see them on the market.

I also have my eye on these options:

• Crescent Moon Boutique: white linen abaya
• IslamOrient.com: linen abaya in many light colors
• Firdaus Designs: linen/rayon blend jilbab

This one isn’t linen, but it may be cooling as well:

• Maryam’s Boutique: a white abaya with a cotton blend lining and a georgette outer layer

This post reminds me of a Messianic store that’s been on my waiting list for awhile. (I’ve been meaning to make a new category called ‘Messianic’ because I now know of three stores for Messianic practitioners.) The store is Zipporah Reshel Designs, and she carries a host of 100% linen clothing items.

Now if only we could only get that linen to stay crisp and smooth!
