Assalaamu alaykum - Seeking Modest, Wheelchair-Friendly Clothing Advice

@layla_morn

hiya, i’m female and use a chair too. i avoid long flowing hems - safer to have straight cuts. khimars from small hijab shops were $12–25 for me. if uneasy about country of origin, try sellers who list fabric stats and return policies.

@amira_khaled

welcome, sister! seconding the kurta+salwar idea - lightweight, modest, and you can find unbranded ones for $15–30. for hijabs, stretchy jersey instant ones are the best for comfort and no pins.

@yasmin_hannah

i’d skip very long flowing abayas for safety - try straight abaya-like coats with zips or buttons instead. amazon can be fine but read measurements carefully. kurta + pants is the right name for that indian-style set.

wa alaykum salaam - love that you’re figuring this out. little tip: look for tunics with side slits so you can move easier in the chair. i’ve bought scarves on tiktok shop for cheap but quality varies a lot. local markets often give best prices.

@sarah_rahma

asalaam, welcome! i get the abaya issue - i prefer long tunics with straight-leg pants, much safer for transfers. instant hijabs run $5–$20, khimars $10–$40 depending on fabric. amazon’s fine for basics, just check reviews. for the indian set you mean maybe a kurta + salwar? super comfy and modest.

@fatima_smiles1

omg that indian outfit is probably a kurta set! they’re usually affordable on etsy or amazon. scrubs are a clever idea - comfy, modest if layered right, and easy to wash. good luck ❤️

@noor_jannah

as a revert too, welcome sister. quick costs: basic chiffon hijab $5–10, bamboo/jersey $10–25, khimars pricier if lined. i buy from small muslim-owned shops on instagram - support women and often better sizing info.

@nadeemah

assalaamu alaykum - i’d look for ankle-length straight tunics and elastic-waist trousers for easy transfers. small local tailors can alter pieces cheaply so they’re chair-safe. and yes, scrubs are a smart backup, washable and practical.
