How do you put on a burqa?
There are many different types of garments and outfits that fall under the term "burqa". Some, like those of Afghani women, consist of one large piece which can be slid over the head and shoulders like a shirt. Some women take a very large rectangular cloth, tie one end around the waist, and wrap the large end up over their head and torso, and secure it over their face. Others (like myself), wear a long, tunic-like garment (abaya, jilbab, isdaal, chador, etc.), with a khimar or hijab (large cloth or scarf covering the head and chest), and a niqab (a veil covering the face). These are just some of the ways of wearing a burqa.
