Nice unexpected! V

Very well photographed. I find these photos the most fascinating because the clothes always seem to sharply contrast with how people traditionally dress in public. V

Definitely not! I wonder if they wear this at home.

looks as if real life is simmering just below the dogmatic restrictions...skimpy does seem unexpected among the dated conservatives..

Looks like a dress - not underwear - perhaps they wear such garments under the abayas :) Would be cool :) Neat shot Helen V

I think that a woman gets stoned for wearing that outdoors ~V~

They can wear it in the privacy of their own homes but, yes, would not expect it to be displayed.

I can imagine there is some demand for this sort of clothing, Helen. But I am astonished that it's allowed to display it freely...! V

Must be a demand somewhere for it. Nicely taken.

Agree....very surprising :))

Wow, I can't believe they sell this attire!!

Very interesting attire and your title is perfect. Well shot with a spot on exposure. Maybe there is much that is not all as perceived there. Voted

Oh boy, you could be stoned to death for that there! I guess that's what people wear ... behind all those beautiful gates!
