Traditionally Muslim women of Turkestan had worn a different type of hidjab: a scarf called a chodir tied around the head in various ways so as the hide the hair and neck, or a veil called a paranji which consisted of a full-length cloak styled after a woman's robe, with a horsehair face covering, the chochvon. Until the late 1920s, the paranji was widespread among the urban and wealthy populations. The present form of hidjab consists of ankle-length modern dresses or coats with long-fitted sleeves, high necks and white scarves tucked in around the face and draping over the shoulders. Today the scarves themselves are often imported from Saudi Arabia or another Middle Eastern country.
