jilbab

Full-length outer robe

A jilbab is a long, loose outer garment worn by some Muslim women, covering the body from shoulders to feet.

It typically leaves the face and hands visible, distinguishing it from more enveloping coverings like the burqa.

The jilbab fulfills Islamic modest dress requirements and is common in Southeast Asia and parts of the Middle East: She put on her jilbab before leaving the house.
