Did she tell you that that isn't what she wanted to wear? Maybe it was her choice. If someone wishes to cover themselves from head to foot in hot weather, that's their business. lol
At my work we get a lot of Arabs coming through on their way to Bicester Village, especially during summer when a lot of people from Saudi Arabia (especially their royalty) come over to London to spend the summer while it's too hot back home; at that time of year around 2/3 of our customers are Arabs. Some of the women wear a full Burqa, some don't. Granted, when they're back home they probably are forced to wear them, but when they're in the UK they exercise more freedom if they so wish. To say that all the women who wear them are forced to is completely ignorant. Oooh, here's an example for you, a girl my sister was friends with when we were kids now wears a Burqa, her parents don't like her wearing it and so does her husband.... Who is supposedly forcing her?
While I'm totally against women being told what they have to wear, I'm just as against women being told what they shouldn't wear.
(Strangest thing I ever saw though, was a woman in a Burqua buying a pork Sausage Roll.)
