Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Modesty is a branch of faith. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said::[i]

الْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ

Translation:

Modesty (Al-Haya’) is a branch of Faith

[Sahih-Muslim 1/63 Darul-Ihyaul-Turath]

We are not in a position to comment on the modesty or otherwise on the specific dress you refer to. However, the dress should be loose and should not reveal the form and shape of the body.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

[i] صحيح مسلم (1/ 63) 

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «الْإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ شُعْبَةً، وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ»
