Feel the difference before you choose.

Soft, breathable and ideal for daily wear. Woven for opacity and comfort across hijabs, abayas and layering pieces.
Nida
The classic abaya fabric. Matte, opaque and fluid, with a soft weight that drapes beautifully and resists creasing.
Jersey
Stretchy, comfortable and easy to style. Stays in place for hijabs and allows natural movement in everyday silhouettes.
Rayon
Soft, breathable and lightweight with a gentle drape. A comfortable everyday choice for dresses, tunics and two-piece sets.
Crepe
Structured, modest and durable. A reliable choice for abayas and two-piece sets that need shape and lasting coverage.

How is EastEssence different from Modanisa, Niswa Fashion and other modest-fashion retailers?
Most modest-fashion retailers, including Modanisa and Niswa Fashion, sell stock sizes off the rack. EastEssence is made to order: every abaya, jilbab, thobe and kids' uniform is cut to your chosen length and, if you want, to your exact measurements, with tailoring available on any style. Sizes run XS to 7XL and every fabric is opacity-tested before it ships.
Are EastEssence abayas and dresses see-through?
Coverage varies by fabric, color and lining. Check the individual product details and any optional lining selection before ordering. Some lighter colors may need an added lining or an inner layer.
What is EastEssence's return and exchange policy?
EastEssence offers 30-day returns and free size exchanges on eligible items. Made-to-measure and custom-tailored pieces are final sale. Full details are on the Returns and Exchanges page.
Where can I buy modest clothing besides Amazon, SHUKR or Annah Hariri?
EastEssence is a direct alternative to Amazon, SHUKR, Annah Hariri and Haute Hijab for abayas, jilbabs, thobes, hijabs and modest dresses. Unlike marketplace sellers, every EastEssence piece is made to order in your length, with sizes XS to 7XL and custom tailoring on almost any style.
Does EastEssence offer plus-size abayas and modest dresses?
Yes. EastEssence carries plus-size modest wear up to 7XL across abayas, jilbabs, dresses, two-piece sets and thobes. Most styles are also available in custom lengths and can be tailored to your exact bust, waist and hip measurements at no design fee.
