Eastessence is excellent. I am shocked by all these bad reviews! I buy all of my tops and abayas from them. I NEVER had a problem with any abaya being the wrong length and I ALWAYS have them adjusted because I am tall. I live in a hot, humid climate that is very cold in parts of winter. The rayon fabric is my favorite for the heat. It is cooler than cotton or linen. The jersey 100% cotton is perfect for winter. It is thicker than average and i still wear the ones I bought years ago. Most tops have deep pockets, which I love too. The sizing has always been accurate. I have bought over 150 items and only had ONE item that was messed up. It was a prayer hijab that the seamstress had messed up so the head opening was only a few inches wide Lol. It was obviously an anomaly that was easy to fix. As far as shipping... I live in Texas and my packages always arrive before 3 weeks; the smaller orders sometimes arrive in a week.

The sales are great. There are new items often. I am very careful in ordering Marketplace items because they do not follow Eastessence sizing and are much smaller. I have never had a problem there either and I have found some very unique items.

I get compliments from non-Muslims often. They like the longer tops, which look super with skinny jeans or leggings. I have shared the website with them because you simply cannot find these lengths on store racks of you are tall. They all cover my rear and the longer ones are fun fashion.

Honestly, I am somewhat suspicious of all the bad reviews. It seams like a smear campaign instead of honest reviews.

My only suggestion is for Eastessence to offer more "cool" colors for us customers who have cool complexions. I like more cool blues and pinks. Most of the pinks are slightly peachy. That's it... my one "complaint". I did not mention the quality. I literally do not wear these clothes out. The rayon is most fragile but is the reason it is so breathable. I was mine on gentle and do not over dry them. If you over dry them, they will shrink but all it takes is a misting of water and they return to their original shape and have no wrinkles. If you like modest clothing and swimwear, you will be happy with Eastessence.

Tip for consumers:
Measure your favorite piece and order the corresponding size. The clothing measurements are accurate. It is the best way to get the proper fit. Do not use body measurements. Just follow their instructions.

Kashibo is a disaster fabric in the humidity. It does not breathe but it does hang lovely and is extremely durable. Stay away from poly knit also. The crepe is lovely.

Always order the amount needed to avoid shipping fees.

Ruby G. thanked you for your review of EastEssence

“It does appear to be a "smear campaign." Just like in LIFE, you have to take what is said on the INTERNET with a GRAIN OF SALT, (be skeptical, discerning). Thank you Ms. Laura for your very informative REVIEW, may GOD continue to Bless you!”
