Peeks and Dickies!



No I'm not spewing profanities, these are actually quite useful accessories for the Muslim or modest woman!


A new product I've noticed over the last year and that I've been waiting for (!!) is the cleavage cover - triangular pieces of fabric that come with adhesive tape that are used with tops such as wrap-tops, that are too low-cut, so low that even your hijab won't cover. Great for those almost-modest-enough tops we find at the mall.
This photo is from http://www.chicppeeks.com/ . Also see http://www.cleavagecovers.com/ for this type of cleavage cover. They come in cotton, lace, and microfiber.




This style looks ridiculous! See http://www.thewinkee.com/ - no it's not underwear for your bra, it's a cleavage cover that clings to your bra instead of using sticky tape! Not a bad idea considering you have to keep buying that stick tape.


The other option is to just sew your own if you've got it in you; that would be really easy to do, and just buy your own sticky tape. TIP: if you're really lazy like me, you can just cut out a triangular piece of fabric from an old shirt or anything you don't wear, and make sure the top edge that will peek out is a finished/sewn edge!


A "Dickie" is a neck and chest cover that provides more coverage; I just wish I could find more of these without the turtle neck. A few Muslim stores carry these:


thecanadianmuslim has one, maybe they'll get more? (Canada)







2hijab has the widest selection of chest covers (Egypt) and the BEST selection of hijab pins too!

  1. Chemisettes are great. They come in different sizes and tons of styles, fabrics, colors, etc. You can adjust how high or low you wear it and I find them to be very comfortable. I forget I have it on.
