In addition, when there are any festivals or they need to go to the mosque, most Hui women would wear the abaya, a simple, loose over-garment, essentially a robe-like dress.
In daily life, many would just wear clothes that can cover their body because in the traditional view in Sunni Islam, women must cover everything except their hands and faces.
However, it is worth noting that many young hui girls now don't follow such rules. They also would wear short sleeves and short pants. Yet, they usually would have the hijabs and the abayas to wear when there is any religious event.
The wedding dress of Hui women combined the Han culture with the muslim style.
The red color and phoenix pattern are the Han element. At the same time, the Hijab and the design of long sleeve are the elements from the muslim wedding dress.
The wedding dress of Hui women is the blending of Islamic culture and Chinese Han culture.
