ramadan day 25 what will we wear for eid

I cut out pictures of some islamic clothing i didnt have ones with the normal black abayah or khimar i would have used them if i did but these were good as the twins liked the bright colours i also cut out so hijab and niqab as these pictures didnt have them some have them and some dont

                                    ON A PERSONAL NOTE
I mayself dont believe that spending loads of money on eid clothes is the way to go if you buy £25 pound abayah when you would normaly spend £100 you could donate the reat of that money to charityand for those who cant aford new clothes old ones are fine as long as they are clean some muslims go to the extreme of spending hundereds of pounds on clothes they will proubly only wear once !
