On my quest for stylish jilbabs, I looked high and low for a designer who could provide me with something that did not look like it was off the racks. Being a career woman, I do not have time to go and explore the tiny Islamic boutiques all around Chicago that offer conservative yet chic clothes for Muslim women. But after trying out a number of different styles by various shops, I reached the conclusion that I will have to take drastic steps if I really wanted to wear something nice.
