Building on my previous research study exploring hijab-wearing Muslim women’s lived experiences through fashion my current research examines the modestly dressed body with gender, race, ethnicity, and other subject positions. Modest dress is explored as a point of connection as opposed to a point of division through research with Muslim women who wear a headscarf and women from all backgrounds who do not but dress modestly.
