Your SalahWear™ Fit Guide

One common issue with one-size telekung designs is the face opening. It may feel too tight around a fuller face or too loose around a smaller one.

SalahWear solves this with an adjustable zip around the hood opening. The opening can be adjusted from approximately 26 cm to 50 cm, giving you control over how closely it sits around your face.

Zip it further for a closer fit or open it more when you need extra room. This is especially helpful if you wear glasses, have a fuller face or simply dislike fabric pressing closely against your cheeks.

If you have been searching for a telekung tak sesak, meaning a telekung that does not feel tight or suffocating, this adjustable opening is one of the most important features to look for.

How Should the Face Opening Fit?

The face opening should sit securely around your face without pressing uncomfortably against your chin or cheeks.

Before praying:

1. Put on the top and position the opening around your face.
2. Adjust the zip until it feels secure but comfortable.
3. Move your head gently from side to side.
4. Check that your hair, neck and ears remain covered.

Do not make it unnecessarily tight. A good fit should feel secure enough for movement while still allowing you to breathe and recite comfortably.

SalahWear’s top uses a wide, flared cape shape rather than fitted sleeves and a narrow body.

This gives the upper body plenty of room, including around the shoulders, bust, arms and stomach. It also means there are fewer fixed measurements to worry about when choosing your size.

The loose shape makes SalahWear particularly practical for:

• Fuller busts and broader shoulders
• Different arm sizes
• Layering over everyday clothing
• Changes in body shape
• Anyone who prefers a less restrictive prayer outfit

The cape falls over the arms and upper body to create coverage without relying on tight cuffs, fitted sleeves or a shaped waist.

Because SalahWear is not tailored closely to the body, it can adapt to a broad range of figures.

For a smaller or narrower frame, the fabric will fall more loosely around the body. Adjusting the face opening helps the top remain secure rather than feeling oversized around the head.

For a curvier or plus-size figure, the flared top provides room without pulling across the bust or arms. The separate skirt also means the top does not need to stretch over the hips.

This makes SalahWear a practical option for anyone looking for a plus size travel telekung that remains light and compact. However, “one size” should never be interpreted as a guarantee of an identical fit on every body. The garment will naturally fall differently depending on your height, proportions and clothing underneath.

The separate top and skirt provide more height flexibility than a one-piece prayer dress.

The skirt can be worn:

• Above the bust if you are shorter
• Closer to the natural waist for a standard fit
• Slightly lower if you need more length
  

The cape top overlaps the skirt, helping to maintain coverage even when you adjust the skirt position.

Shorter wearers may find that the skirt gathers slightly more around the feet. Taller wearers may have less fabric pooling at the hem. The important point is that the skirt should cover the legs during prayer without becoming a tripping hazard.

In a one-piece prayer dress, the shoulders, sleeves, body and hem are all connected. If one part is too short or narrow, it can affect the fit of the entire garment.

SalahWear separates the upper and lower body into two pieces. This allows each part to sit more naturally without pulling on the other.

It also makes the outfit easier to put on in a small space, such as an airport prayer room, changing area or workplace.
