Reader Request: Eid Evening Gowns [part 2]
The first Eid Evening Gowns post was so popular that I decided to do another. Seems like you ladies love the idea of wearing evening gowns for Eid! Not that I'm surprised - who doesn't stare down the formal section of any department store and wish to have a reason to dress up in classy, elegant formal attire?

Reader Request: Eid Evening Gowns
A few years back, a friend invited me to an iftar night out - essentially, grabbing iftar at a halal-friendly eatery (in this case, the wonderfully satisfying Burger 7 where I had not one but TWO burgers to break my fast). Conversation got around to what and where we're finding Eid clothes. I generally look for Pakistani clothes, which either my mom or me will find at the 11th hour, but I embrace anyone who wears American clothes to celebrate - because being American is part of our identity, in addition to any ethnic or other cultural practices we have.
Back to clothes...Yasmin is looking for a sleeved evening gown, and was willing to put down up to $150 for a nice gown for Eid. She wears hijab and prefered not to have to jerry rig any gown to be modest, but will do it if needed. Additionally, she stated she's looking for more "muted" colors, but you guys know me - I live for sequins and embellishments.
A long-sleeved gown in the summer months can be tough, but I put together a few to get Eid clothes shopping kicked off. It's no DKNY Ramadan Capsule Collection, but these might be slightly more Eidee-friendly. Click on the images below to be taken to the retailer!
**Disclaimer: Sizes and stock are limited AND some of these may need to be more modestified than others for Eid.**
1) Laundry by Shelli Segal: $53.99 // 2) House of Fraser Jersey Maxi: $54 // 3) Laundry by Shelli Segal Lace Floral Gown $108
And a few others that wouldn't fit into the layouts. Click on the images to be taken to the retailer!

I put my finders out there and came up with a few options for Yasmin (and you, if you're also looking for an Eid outfit!). What do you think? What will you be wearing this Eid?

An Evening to Remember - Spring-toned Gowns
Spring is in the air, and we find inspiration from the
colors popping up around us -strawberry-hued day lilies brightening our day,
golden daffodils waving hello, and purple hyacinths spreading their joy. These modestly-priced gowns will hopefully
find a place in your closet for those outdoor spring and summer soirees. Long on length, they are perfect for that
chic, Muslim woman. See our post on tops
for options on how to cover up the revealing necklines.
But we think your wallet will like these a bit more.

An Evening to Remember - Shimmery Dresses
A friend of mine recently posted a photo of herself and her husband on a red carpet. She had beautifully matched a printed full-length, full-skirt maxi dress with a leather jacket and black chiffon hijab. Effortlessly chic and stunningly regal at the same time.
In honor of her red-carpet appearance, and the need for every Muslim woman to own at least one sparkling gown, we encourage everyone to think about what their closet needs as their "go-to" for their party-dress - for weddings, for work parties, or if you find yourself on one, the red-carpet.
Of the ones I'd pick, this is my first-choice: The Evening of Effervecence Dress, available for $94.90 at ModCloth. Those waves create a softness and movement to the dress without losing interest.
Compiled are a few others, just as soft and pretty, with a little detail for your personal style.
