Tutorial: How I Wear My (Raya) Shawl

Assalam ladies. ^_^

First of all, nak minta maaf pada Rara sebab sedikit lewat buat entry ni. Hehehe. She requested a tutorial on how I wear my raya shawl from this picture.

Picture from my entry: Cerita Raya

Let's get down to business. So here's how I wear it. What you need are as follows:

Inner, shawl, cushion pins, small and big brooches. ^_^

You can wear any material shawl. Tapi yang paling cantik is yang slightly keras, not too lembik :D Ikut citarasa la. For this, I pakai satin shawl. Beli kat Jalan Masjid India few days before raya. Hihihi. Sebab I malas nak iron shawl yang lain-lain tu. Hihihi. *Alert: Muka tak bermekap plus kelihatan sedikit tembam hasil pemakanan yang hebat bulan raya ni* Hehehehe.

Sebelah pendek, sebelah panjang. :D

As usual, pakai inner cotton dulu then pakai shawl. One side lebih panjang dari yang sebelah lagi. Macam gambarajah di atas. Hehehe. :D Then, tarik shawl (macam gambar kat bawah ni) supaya dia wrap nicely kat belakang. Supaya nanti tak la berserabut kat bahagian belakang tu. ^_^

Tarik everything ke depan

Next step, pegang tepi shawl tu sikit, kat dua-dua side and bawa ke belakang. 

Pegang sikit kat tepi and bring it to the back of your head.

Then pin kan. Gosh...susah nya nak tunjukkan. T_T

use small brooch for this. pakai pin napkin pon boleh. Hehehe.

Gini la ropenye dari belakang. Nampak sedikit hunchback sebab I nak masukkan dalam frame. If not you'll probably see only my half head. Haha XD

Pandangan dari belakang

Next, pinkan tudung tu guna cushion pin kat both side, kiri dan kanan. Tujuan, supaya dia hold shawl tu tak lari-lari by the end of the day. ^_^

Use cushion pins for this.

Lepas tu, belah yang pendek tu, I bring ke side sebelah lagi. Passing bawah dagu. Just like so.

Bring the shorter side to the other shoulder.

Then pakai small brooch untuk secure kan dia kat area telinga. ^_^ Cover cover sikit dengan side yang satu lagi. ^_^

Pinkan kat inner cotton

Haa...part yang seterusnya ada options. Its either you pakai sebelah dalam, or sebelah luar shawl tu. If pakai tudung yang dalam and luar sama color, it should not be a problem, you girls boleh tarik yang side dekat dengan leher tu ke bahu sebelah lagi. That would be nicer.

choose your side

But since satin shawl ni gelap kat bahagian dalam, I nak guna bahagian yang cerah. So I tarik yang bahagian cerah tu ke bahu satu lagi macam gambar kat bawah. Make sure area yang kita pusingkan shawl tu kemas. 

Wrap it around your neck. Dont worry about putting it on your bun. It's supposed to be kat leher je.

Bila dah wrap around the neck, just securekan kat same bahu tu dengan big brooch. ^_^ And you are done! ^_^ Simple! ;D

Pandangan hadapan :D

So. Itu aje dong caranya. ^_^ Inspired by so many people. I tengok and I tried sendiri adding my own style to it. ^_^ Hopefully Cik Rara berpuas hati la ye dengan tutorial ni. ^_^

Until next time! Tata darlings! ^_^
