Gulf Abaya and Shayla designs

Here are some beautiful designs I found floating around on the internet. If you have any that you have found and would like to share please let me know. I find the butterfly design of the Abaya has been quite popular for a few years in the gulf. Abayas, in order to look elegant are embellished with crystals, embroidery, beads and ornate fabric. The hair clip or "shabasa", "chabasa" is very popular. This provides some volume to the hair and also keeps the shayla or veil in place. There is some controversy over it as they seem to be getting bigger and bigger providing an illusion of having a lot of hair which defeats the purpose of modesty in Islam. Personally I think a medium size clip to keep the hijab in place is fine.
