Muslim convert, English wedding. Dress needed.

[Twilightimmortal]

I'm a Muslim convert and my sister is getting married.

I dont want to stand out and wear what I would normally wear to a Muslim wedding but I'm looking for something that would cover me and still be wedding appropriate.

My sisters theme is dusty pink and I'm looking for something long sleeved and flowy.

Please help

She is. On this thread.

Ooh I like this one. Very elegant. 👍

That's what's happening here

There might be some nice ones here

There are some beautiful dresses on this thread!m. I’d be tempted by all of them if I was a tall size ten!

I attended a friend’s Muslim wedding last year and found John Lewis had a great range of modest dresses. They stick Aab but also ‘mainstream brands’ if you search ‘modest dress’.

In keeping with the dusky pink theme, how about this? https://www.johnlewis.com/ted-baker-miray-tiered-maxi-dress-coral/p110003648

Mumsnet is my community, its a community of women. I dont need to opt out because I'm a Muslim women.

Exactly OP. Ignore that troll. Hope you found something you liked amongst the suggestions! 😊

Next do a whole range for Eid that would be appropriate. Available online.

Also amena khan on Instagram comes up with some good ‘modest’ looks.

River Island

It is by far- along with the very expensive Saloni one.

Ooh brilliant! That means high neck, long sleeve with embellishment across the decolletage / bodice will suit you v well.

Does it need to be ankle length? What's your budget?

I’m not usually a fan of boohoo (fast fashion etc) but that dress is beautiful! I wish I had something to wear it for!

Yes that Boohoo one is gorgeous 😍. Its exactly the kind of thing I'm going for. I would probably spend upto £150 so I could then have money to buy shoes, bag and scarf.

These two, particularly the first, are lovely and would definitely work well @Twilightimmortal

Get it via the app OP, it's 20% off on there (£80) 👍

That boohoo one is gorgeous! I'd probably stick on a slip underneath in case of thin fabric but it's stunning.

Also, there are plenty of us Muslim women on Mumsnet. Always have been.

Some gorgeous dresses on here! I will definitely bookmark this thread for future use.

Omg I love this dress 🥹 unfortunately, this is pretty much a mortgage payment cost for me!

Boden have lots of long, long sleeved dresses

My Muslim friends came to my (English non muslim) wedding in their traditional clothes and they looked fabulous. I love all the colours in the photographs.

Yeah, I dont want to stand out and wear the Moroccan style clothes I would normally wear to a wedding. (Bright contrasting colours, gold belts etc)

I'm the sister of the bride and a lot of his side of the family have never met me, I will probably be the only Muslim there.
