Hi, I love your blog, I am a scottish girl married to an iranian boy, who lives in iran and this blog has gave me so much inspiration. So thanks for sharing .
I was wondering where you find all the pictures and do you ever worry about running out.
Hi Alexis,
Thanks for your comment. I find them everywhere on the Internet- news sites like GettyImages, cultural sites like Bia2.com, Skyscrapercity.com, and sometimes I just do a Google blog search for “manteau”.
I still have LOTS more photos and articles to post, so I won’t run out for another year or so. Who knows? Perhaps in that time, this clothing item will become a part of history, or maybe not. In any case, I’ve got lots more pictures coming!
Enjoy the blog,

I am not based in Tehran, so I cannot really make comments, but from the pictures and from my general knowledge, I can see with certainty that jeans are allowed. Colors are definitely allowed, though bright ones are still frowned upon by certain groups. Feet can be shown (pants that show off more of the legs are sometimes targeted though). Boots are allowed, but wearing high heel ones is also occasionally targeted by crackdowns. This website has lots of examples of what can be worn: http://www.letsgoiran.com/iran-women-dress-code
Hi, I love the website, too. For the past several days, all I can think about are scarves. Perhaps it has something to do with working on a conceptual fashion show (styles between the 1950s and 1960s). Thanks for the inspiration and keep posting photos!

Is it true i cant show my feet?
