'Burqini' swimsuit a hit with Muslim women
By Kim Christian
A NEW two-piece, head-to-toe polyester swimsuit is set to revolutionise beach going for devout Muslim women in Australia.
The "burqini", which has already been sold to more than 9000 women in Sydney, is suitable for surf life saving patrols and has been endorsed by the Australian Islamic Council and the mufti of Australia.
Unveiling the new Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) burqini tonight, 20-year-old Mecca Laa Laa said the outfit, which covers the head and body, would give Australian Muslim women the freedom to enjoy the beach while fulfilling their religious obligations.
