jilbab definition and meaning

What is a "jilbab"?

A Jilbab is a type of Islamic clothing worn by Muslim women to cover their heads and bodies. It is a long and loose-fitting garment that covers the head and the entire body except for the hands and face. Jilbab is often made of lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton or silk, and it comes in a variety of colors and designs. The style of the jilbab may vary depending on the region and culture, with some featuring embroidery, sequins, or other embellishments. It is often worn in combination with a headscarf or hijab as a form of modest dress. While the jilbab is traditionally worn by Muslim women, it has also become a fashion trend in many countries around the world.

Examples
1A jilbab of centuries ago was a status symbol, like a Burberry trench or a Chanel jacket.
2But if the woman walking out at night wasn't wearing a jilbab, if she happened to be dressed a bit more freely, then the men knew she was a slave, and they attacked her.
3If a woman walked by, and she happened to be wearing a jilbab, which was a garment like a coat, the men knew to leave her alone.
