Women must veil when outside of the encampment area. Make sure you have a comfortable and light weight milfa. No polyester, rayon, knits, acetate, lame', chiffon or anything that might be used in a cabaret style bellydance costume. Use solid colors, woven stripes, tapestries, batiks or block printed fabrics only. Block prints are made by carving a block of wood and painting the dye onto the wood, then pressing it against the fabrics.
Block prints are one color pressed upon the main fabric, end to end.
Two colors may be used but will overlay each other. Batiks are made by putting wax on the fabric where you don't want the die to take, and waxing and dying lighter colors to darker. Neither batiks or block prints look exact. I don't recommend using fabrics with gold or silver threads because they require special washing and can be quite expensive, but if you want to spend the money, wash only in cold water and line dry so as not to damage the fabric. Fabrics should not be so sheer as to show any of your undergarments.
