Chador wraparound garments
The chador is a large wraparound garment associated particularly with Iranian clothing traditions. Its construction and the way it is held distinguish it from a sleeved, sewn abaya. It covers much of the body but should not automatically be described as a face veil; practices and variants depend on context.
Practical checks: chador wraparound garments
To understand a particular design, ask for its cut, fully opened dimensions and how it is managed while walking. Fabric weight and flexibility matter across such a large surface. Clothing and religious resources below help separate cultural description, coverage criteria and personal choice rather than treating every long black garment as a chador.
