I don't care what anyone says. I'm going to make garments work, dammit.

For starters, I think we can all agree that the sleeves MUST go!

Sleeves have been taken down a very long time ago!

These are not that different from our current garment top design. What about baby steps on the removal of sleeves?

Even back in the days of The Woman Rebel, sleeves were going away.

Here is a good reason we should rid ourselves of the sleeve. Consider this most excellent of dresses ever known to mankind:

Why would we want the side of the upper arm to show a cap sleeve under the embroidery?

The church has made some good progress since the first one-peice ankle length garments.

I wish the church would take your advice and update to something less constrictive and more stylish. They should allow multiple versions so that people have selection.
Honestly, I don't think there is a person alive who looks good in the current garments.

Garments are pointless. Give them decals to sew/iron under their regular clothes and call it a day.

Saudi Arabia is the home of the abeya.

Out of respect, I never took a picture of any. (The above is not my photo.)

In spite of this head-to-foot, black shroud, occasionally one might get a tantalizing glimpse of stocking. I surreptitiously snapped these department store window pictures while in Riyadh.
