Chador

A chador is an outer garment worn by women – it is one possible way in which a Muslim women may follow the hijab dress-code.

A chador covers the wearer from head to toe, leaving only her hands and part, or all, of her face exposed. It is similar to a khimar, which is a round head-scarf that leaves the face exposed but only falls to the waist. A chador which covers the face is more commonly called a (full or Afghan) burka.
