I'm having a blonde moment, sorry!
The long dressy things with the trousers underneath? What are they called? And does anyone know any online UK sites that sell just plain black ones?
Thanks!

Sorry, it was not my intention to offend anyone with my naivety - it's just that I did not know how else to reffer to it, the only people I know who dress in this manner are my next-door neighbours, they are Muslim but British-born, so I did not know it was cultural. But thank you for all the help!

When you say "Muslim clothes" you are getting many names according to answerer languages. I wonder which language will you follow. As long as your clothes are wide (do not show outlines of your body) it is fine. You can wear a knee length jacket with wide trousers, a wide blouse (covering the back side) with a long wide skirt....if you don't feel comfortable with the long dressing.
In general, "hijab" in Arabic means the "head scarf", naturally when you cover your head you should wear non-tight fitting garments that cover whole of the body. Hijab does not mean the whole outfit, only the head cover.
Sorry I don't know about the online sites.

Shelwaar Kamees is the regional clothes for Afghani and Pakistani and Indian muslim women and are culturally specific.

Muslim women wear many different clothes with different names.
Long dressy things with Trouser does not help. Specialluy since you don't say what country.
Could be Manto, Burka, Chador, Aba, .................
Do you have a link that has a photo?

If you want the stylish ones, abayas. The double layered ones. If you are talking about what Indians and Pakistanis wear, Salwar kameez. Those come with trousers. If you are talking of the thing that opens down the front, that is a jilbab.
