Shoppers have praised PrettyLittleThing for selecting photographs of women wearing hijabs to model its products for the first time.
The British online retailer chose plus-size influencer Billy Marsal and model Marlene Marie, to show its new modest edit.
The range features everything from everyday dresses, to swimwear and gym gear, as well as prom dresses, although hijabs are not included, and is a far cry from many of the skimpy styles usually seen on the site.
