@thehijabilolita & @sugarnoor on Tumblr are the creator of the new cosplay trend in the Muslim community. Rocking a modest, Victorian-era dress, both say it stays within the boundaries of their faith.

“I get drive-by haters that say, ‘Take it off, it’s not Iraq.’ But when I’m in Lolita, it’s different. People think it’s a costume.”
