Collection: Hijab Friendly Evening Dresses

Hijab friendly evening dresses are cut to work with your hijab rather than against it: necklines that meet the scarf line cleanly, long sleeves, opaque fully lined fabric and floor length hems. Mystic Modesty designs for hijabi women first, so all fifteen dresses in the range qualify, priced £70 to £96 (EUR 79 to 109) across pleated satin, smooth satin, chiffon and velvet.

Pairing notes by colour, since the scarf finishes the look. Yasmine Emerald takes a tone on tone chiffon hijab or warm gold. Camille Black is the classic canvas for jewel toned or champagne satin scarves. Saffira Rose pairs with dusty rose or deep mauve, and Mariya Aquatic Blue sits best with silver grey or ivory. As a rule, satin scarves echo the sheen of Saffira and Mariya, while matte chiffon scarves suit Yasmine and Camille. Occasions covered: weddings, nikkah, walima, Eid, graduation and prom.
