My goodness Gypsy, those Abayas are so beautiful, I would happily wear those
Some look to be quite fine fabric, not terribly opaque at all. I suppose the wealthy would step from home into air conditioned cars then out of the car into some aircon'ed building so their gorgeous abayas wouldn't get dirty, or be seen to be too revealing. Somehow I don't see that many women would actually walk the streets in many of those pictured, or would they?
