chador (dict)

Chador A chador (in Persian: چادر Chdor) is an outer garment worn by women; it is one possible way in which a Muslim woman may follow the hijab dress-code. Chador is mostly used by the (older) women in rural Iran. 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 falls only to the waist. A chador that covers the face is more commonly called a (full or Afghan) burka.
