The inflation prices for traditional clothing are ridiculous. I got a couple of beautiful abaya/shayla sets in Saudi for about $15 each, and the quality far surpasses that of the one's sold stateside for $50 or more!
I think I'm just going to get a large veil and call it a day. The instructor said we could use them, but I wanted a thobe to get the full feel of it. However, money and time are too tight to buy one or make my own.
Thanks ladies for all your help!
