21 Hijabi tips for the more endowed, plus sized or lil larger Muslimah:

1. Avoid items that clench around the waist, like belts over dresses. They can emphasize your chest area highlighting the size of your breasts.
2. Horizontal stripes are a bad idea. They do make you look larger by emphasizing the stripes. However a longer loose fit dress with horizontal stripes can be worn if teamed up with a cardi. The cardigan or even a blazer will tone down the strip emphasis of your curves
3. Tights and skinny jeans emphasize the contours of your legs. Rather opt for wide leg pants, and jeans that have a looser fit on the legs.
4. Frilly tops and blouses are designed to make one look more endowed in the bust area. If you are already curvy in the area, emphasizing it further makes you look frumpy. It should be avoided.
