Wonderful Abayas!!

I stumbled upon this wonderful blog that sells abayas from Indonesia. Though the shipping is atrocious, figured into the total price of the abaya it evens out with something that would be bought in the US. The designs are lovely and very attractive, while remaining modest. I'm going to be ordering several!
