From a chagchor tent to a wheeled tent; How have the clothes of Iranian women changed?

Chador Charki, which today is considered the "upper hijab" in the Islamic Republic of Iran, was initially opposed by some clerics.

Iranian women today, perhaps more than ever, can feel close to the women of the late Qajar period; The women who hid under the tent, fat and veiled when they were on the street, but at a relatively short distance, they experienced a great transformation in their clothing and social presence. Those women gradually revealed their faces and the Iranian women of the current period their hair, but in both periods, the chador was at the center of social and political changes.
