chadors
Full-body covering garments
Chadors are loose-fitting outer garments worn by some Muslim women, covering the body from head to toe while leaving the face exposed.
The chador is traditional in Iran, where it typically consists of a large semicircle of fabric draped over the head and held closed at the front.
Women in black chadors filled the square.
