My granddaughter loved this addition to her work wardrobe. The lining allows the fabric to flow while concealing her form in the brightest of lights. The frills layers are so fun and girly. This shade of green is a great option for ladies who love black but want a change.
This Dress Was Everything I Wanted It to Be Simply Beautiful
Very stylish. I love the fit and the feel. I’ve already gotten so many compliments.
I wasn’t expecting my thobe to come from India! I think that’s pretty cool. You can tell whoever made my thobe took their time. This is my very first of many thobes, it fits me so well; I’m super happy with my purchase! I’ll be back for more! I wish I could upload a picture, haha!
The garment was of good quality: sewing, material, and style. According to prior comments I did order a larger size than indicated on the size chart and it turned out to be the right choice. The collar size for the 3X was 17 inches which is perfect for me. I will have to adjust the sleeve and hem length to my 5'4" height.
This was my first thobe as a revert to Islam, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The material is thin but still feels high quality, which makes it perfect for the Southern heat. It’s comfortable, breathable, and looks great. Shipping took a little while, but I got it at 30% off, so it was definitely worth the wait. Overall, a great purchase highly recommend!
Very satisfied with my thobe thank you
Fits perfectly!! I’ll be ordering again..
It's so beautiful and great quality
This is amazing! I love how great it looks and feels. I received so many compliments. You will want this in your closet.
I love the fabric and the fit is perfect. If you're US size 2X, order 3X fronm East Essence. my only problem was the length of the pants.they fit perfectly but were 2" above my ankles. I found similar color fabric and lengthened them.
It has beautiful drape, and I thought I would have to take the waist in but it actually fits fine! Great for summer, can layer for fall or spring. Probably not warm enough for winter unless I had some thicker layers beneath
I have bought zillion of this fabric in particular easy wash and holds a press. After pressing just hang in shower no ironing unless after initial washing LOVE LOVE LOVE I have every color permissable to wear. Karima Muhammad
Nice craftsmanship I would buy again
Very nice and good material

Questions, answered
Does EastEssence ship to the United States, and how long does delivery take?
Yes. EastEssence ships across the United States and to more than 90 countries. Almost everything is made to order. Standard delivery is about 10 to 12 business days (roughly 1 to 2 weeks), and can run longer when a parcel is held in customs. Free US shipping applies on orders over $99.
What size range does EastEssence offer?
Standard sizes run XS to 7XL, and most abayas, jilbabs and dresses are cut in custom lengths from 50 to 64 inches at no extra cost. You can also enter your exact bust, waist, hip and height measurements at checkout for a made-to-measure fit.
Can I have an abaya, thobe or dress tailored to my measurements?
Yes. Custom tailoring is available on almost every style with no design fee. Choose your length, submit your measurements, or add tailoring notes and our team cuts the piece to order.
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?
No. Every fabric EastEssence uses is opacity-tested for full coverage before it goes on sale, and many styles come fully lined. Fabric weight and lining details are listed on each product page.
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.
