Do you think Somali women will ever be allowed to dress according to our culture and tradition again?

These clothes were the clothes of women in the countryside where no one saw women
My awoowo told me that if he saw women, he would go to the men and say, “Today I saw women.
But in the cities, the xijaab was what women wore.

Yeah i was thinking a lot of this rural guntino clothes would not work in magaalo where there are lots of people close to each other Rather it needs to be modified to be more modest

yes modesty needs to be a major factor. Also it needs to be created in mind of the weather since it gets hot and humid during the day. Guntiino hugs the body features which is a downside

i was thinking this dress would be quite nice. Looks like an abaya too. Just gotta make the arms longer and wear a garbasar it would look 10/10 and suitable for our deen and culture in Somalia
