I liked the floral prayer veil pattern, tbh...I'd wear a sundress or flowy skirt w/ that pattern, and I had an Ikea Ektorp slipcover that was a similar floral (maybe slightly bigger florals?). Yes, I'm an old lady LOL.Fear not, friend, I too enjoy a good grandma tier embroidery. I just pretend like it's because I can see the beauty in small things, and not because I literally just have an old lady's style.
I don't get the black abayas, even with decorations...abayas come in lovely colors and designs, and in cotton, which would be much more comfortable in the heat, no? She mentioned that she couldn't easily find jeans/shirts in her size and I have no doubt that that's true, but kaftans would fit her, and they can be in any color/pattern/fabric you please. Etsy has sellers who'll make them custom.
I also saw lace or openwork undercaps, which also have to be cooler than what she's wearing...and a cotton or silk hijab over that would be so much more comfortable. I get itchy just looking at her swathed up like that and know how hot she must be.
