Flamenco Dreams

I see the dress on my computer as orange rather than red... But, how to use that mantilla (shawl) as hijab...????? I think it is too big and heavy for hijab. I would rather wear black flamenco-style skirt with black longer top and red bolero jacket with long sleeves to comlete the outfit, and with flamenco-hijabi style I would always use black scarf for my hijab, as this would look more as normal hair even when you do not show your hair in fact - amazing! - and pin a large red flower to your hijab or to the top in front, for a perfect and complete flamenco-styled hijabi look...! Lovely!

Here is more advice on flamenco-style hijabi look: moda sevillanas! Find something with polka dot pattern and it may be your full outfit or a single piece of clothing. Wear skirt or maxi dress which has got many ruffles on the bottom, just like typical flamenco dress, but with polka dot or colourful flowers on it - and match it with black bolero jacket or cardigan to cover up, then wrap your head in black scarf in the way it resembles a bun behind your head. Pin a flower to the bun and you can wear your earrings with this style. It looks pretty and naturally, like your own hair, yet your real hair is properly covered under the scarf! Wonderful! To cover the neck, wrap a small scarf around it - in a colour other than black...! ;)-
