Moroccan tailor in Kuwait City

I attended my brother-in-laws wedding last month so I finally had a reason to buy a Moroccan dress. My hubby found a tailor in the city, his dresses were a little expensive but the other shop was closed and I had only a couple days before the wedding to finish the dress. I decided on the light green dress pictured below with a sweet gold belt to match. He makes a lot of the dresses by hand but also has help from family in Morroco. He was sewing the braided designs onto a dress seen below.

One of his hand made belts...

This piece was over the top, each flower was made individually and sewn onto the fabric, it felt like it weighed 10 pounds.

He's a nice guy to took up tailoring when he was a boy and really loves making items.

Inglot O2M "breathable" nail Polish

A while ago I posted about the "breathable" nail polish that has been approved for Muslim women. There is an INGLOT store in the Avenues if anyone is interested and if you want to find more locations click here.

 

 

Unfortunately the creator of this polish has passed away suddenly on Saturday at the age of 57 after suffering internal hemorrhaging. (link)

Muslim women finally able to embrace manicures thanks to new 'breathable' nail polish that fits religious restrictions

 A 'breathable' nail polish, which allows water vapors to pass through to the nail, is causing a stir among devout Muslim women who are unable to wear regular polish because of the washing involved in daily prayers.

Muslims' pre-prayer ritual includes washing the arms and face completely, where water must touch every surface - an impossible feat if a layer of paint is covering the nails.


But Inglot Cosmetics, a company from Poland which is available in the U.S. at Macy's, has released a new line of permeable polish called O2M which will allow Muslim women the freedom to wear polish as they please.
