I went to a wedding recently and the bride wore a large embroidered gown and a very large hajib, AND, horror or horros, a veil!

There were no Islamofascists or other terrorists at the wedding that I know of.

Remember, one man's Persian is another man's Mede. Customary dress changes through time, and different rates in different societies. At the moment our own society is rapidly tilting toward the "belt" that is so popular as formal women's wear in the Amazon jungles.

Bet you'll like that one ~ kind of like a thong, but without the extra parts.
