Mam I observe islamic modesty even at weddings, because of the presence of many relatives and some degree of free mixing in all my relatives weddings. My question is, can I wear an embroidered or embellished colorful abaya (not tight, just embroidered with beads ) to my brother's wedding? Or Can I wear a niqab without an abaya over the dress?
My second question is, I have four brothers and I'm the only sister, and my mama and family members are forcing me to start preparing a dowry, but I keep refusing because I've seen how difficult it is for the fathers to manage in my relatives. My mama says that as I'm the only daughter, people will talk, but I haven't prepared anything and I want to abolish this tradition in my family. Is it okay to do so, or should I prepare something?

First, you said you wear an abaya. Can you wear an embroidered abaya in a mixed gathering? Absolutely not. Think outside the box.
Talk to your relatives and beg them to let you enjoy some part of the function and then put the abaya on later. People understand these things nowadays.
And secondly, you said your parents are asking you to collect a dowry (Jahaiz) for marriage, and you know it's not right. I am also against it because when you set up your own house, you often have to buy things again. Therefore, prepare items and clothes little by little because styles change very quickly.
Try to understand the strategy of the fashion industries; they show you the look and aura of the model.
Try to be trendy & creative."
