Hey, I don't care what they want to wear as long as they don't rearrange my skyline.

Oh, great. I'd like to see the advertising for this place...

"Hey, ladies! Miss the repressive culture of your homeland? Feeling a little TOO "liberated"? Looking for a sack-like garment to put over your head so that your husband won't have to do his God-given duty and beat you for leaving the house? Well, if so, then COME ON DOWN to Burkhas 'R Us..."

Jeez... 🙁

Ditto.

What I would like, though, is one of the traditional robes worn by women in Palestine. They are like a caftan, and are embroidered with flowers. Very pretty - and they do not include a veil, but I don't know if they are available anywhere, now. The most recent photos I've seen of traditional Palestinan clothing were taken in the early 70's.
