Short answer: a one-piece prayer dress is quick to slip on at home. A 2-piece set (top and skirt) suits a wider range of heights and folds smaller, which makes it easier to carry.
One-piece prayer dress
- Goes on in one movement
- One fixed length, so the fit depends on your height
- Usually bulkier when folded
2-piece prayer set
- A top for the head and upper body, and a separate skirt
- Two lengths together suit more heights
- Each piece folds flat, so the set packs smaller
- You can adjust the skirt without taking off the top
Which suits you
If you pray mostly at home, either works. If you also pray at work, at university or while travelling, a 2-piece set in its own pouch is easier to take with you.
