thumb|Women wearing Çarşaf in Shiraz A çarşaf (), also written charshaf, is a simple, loose over-garment, essentially a robe-like dress, similar to the abaya, niqab and chador.
The çarşaf is usually black. As with the Iranian chador, the çarşaf usually covers the lower part of the face, and the cloth is held together by a pin placed below the nose. Sometimes, the part of the cloth that covers the lower face is pinned laterally. In contrast to the chador, the çarşaf usually consists of two parts; a top that hangs to about the waist and a bottom that is cut like a wide, floor-length skirt.
