Alhamdulillah, after the success of the Islamic Iranian Revolution in 1979, there was a great change regarding ladies dress. Islam invites the ladies to wear a beautiful but veiling dress. They are not allowed to show their body to the public. Iranian govt. repealed the Kashf e Hijab decree after the revolution in 1979. Ladies are free to wear their desired dress at their homes. However, they have to wear Hijab, Chador in the public.

The beauty of the times, especially in the past 20 years, has undergone many changes. One of the most important is the excessive attention to the shape and appearance of the nose. Perhaps it can be claimed that the nose, head, and puppet are the first criterion of beauty in Iran, while in almost any period of history, the shape of the nose has not mattered much. Another radical change is the darkening of the skin and the tan. Even though the dark and tanned skin was not very promising even before the early 1370s, it is now a significant measure.

Since 1979, the Hijab and Chador is compulsory in Iran for women. They are required to wear the loose dress. Even you can see the statues at Takht e Jamshid, the ladies have been wearing loose dress since 2500 years. So it is very close to Iranian culture and tradition to wear loose dress. Hijab is not new thing in Iran which was introduced by Islam. Even we see in the previous episode, Hijab is compulsory for Jewish, Christian and Zoroastrianism ladies.
