Clothing styles seen in these photographs are practiced by just a fraction of Iran's female population, restricted to rural areas only. It therefore confirms my statement, if anything.
Meanwhile, a few photographs of how countless Iranian women used to dress about a hundred years ago:
and at last
Arabs of Iran
sorry I could not stop posting the last one after your second post
I don't get the relation to my comment. If you're having issues with Arabic-speakers, I'd recommend solving them.
yeah you answered yourself, right now some people wear niqab , wonder if you go and say Iranian woman wear niqab
The fact remains that black chadors have been worn by female Iranians for numerous centuries. They were always more widespread than niqabs.
if its suit you . but you very well knew why that black chador fiasco was a stab in the back of Iran textile industry and no we produce all colored textile , when it come to black ,we import it from S.Korea and japan and you well knew how much is worth of our textile industry is and how much of it is lost because some people want to make job for Korean and Japanese worker instead of Iranian workers
and how much honest you were when you stated colorful clothes come to Iran from west ?
What stab in the back? Local producers could very well have switched to coloring their products in black. Nothing was / is preventing them from doing so.
Of course Iran imports colorful garments too. I mean, it's not as if Iran has a worldwide monopoly on producing them, nor as if Iran is structurally incapable of manufacturing black textiles just as well.
not prevalent and in certain ceremonies these were the prevalent color till it become norm in qajar to use black one in big city not to forget that later againafter Qajar it become Chador Goli
Use of the black chador by female Iranians stretches back numerous centuries. While its prevalence may have varied somewhat depending on the historical period considered, it has been widespread enough throughout time.
There's no obstacle at all for the Iranian textile industry in producing black gear. After all Iranians aren't genetically or otherwise predisposed to having particular difficulties at manufacturing a commodity on grounds that it's black rather than colored.
and as it was problematic to use Iranian made black textile , they later began to import it (not at Qajar era , later when it was advertised and made in some case mandatory) and that was like an arrow specifically designed to destroy iran textile industry
There's no problem with domestically made black textiles. As for the funny conspiracy theory that religious institutions in Iran deliberately aimed at destroying the national textile industry, I doubt it deserves a serious reply.
Furthermore, it's liberals who openly advocate de-industrialization of Iran. And liberals happen to be secularists ie everything but fervent proponents of strict religious regulations in the public space. A leading reformist figure like Zibakalam is on the record for stating that Iran "has no right" to produce anything domestically if the product fails at being internationally competitive, and that he is sick of being offered "Iranian trash" (
ashghale Irani).
So for supporters of the reformists, it would make slightly more sense to celebrate the decline of Iran's textile industry rather than to try and put a spin on the topic in hopes of landing some sort of a jab against the clergy.
I think more appropriate place would have been middle-east section not central and south Asia but you probably knew better
I didn't start this thread, hence I'm not sure what the section it was posted in has to do with me.

Now since history was evoked, readers should note the idea that prevalence of the black chador is a relatively recent phenomenon is not accurate. For truth is that as far back as the 10th century AD under the authority of the Deylamites (a whopping thousand years ago), black clothes were compulsory upon female Iranians, who moreover were allowed to go out during daytime. What is more, some scholars believe these rules represented a continuation of pre-Islamic customs. In other words, black dress for women indeed has a long history in Iran.
