TEHRAN, July 12 (Reuters) While not exactly trying to put the chic into chador, Iranian fashion designer Haniyeh Abedi believes the strict Islamic dress code requiring women to be covered from head to toe does not mean they cannot look good.

\'\'A woman can look glamorous and feminine while fully observing islam,\'\' said 25-year-old Abedi, clad in one of her own designs, a light-brown gown bordered with motifs of traditional Persian designs and a colourful headscarf.
