Seeking Advice on Modest Dress, please help

As-salamu alaykum everyone - I’m a recent revert and I’m feeling pretty lost about hijab, niqab, and modesty in general. I was raised in a very liberal setting where jeans, t-shirts, dresses, and shorts were the norm, so remodeling my wardrobe and understanding what modesty really means in Islam has been hard for me. I sincerely want to do what’s pleasing to Allah, but I’m careful about rushing into something I don’t fully grasp. I keep seeing different viewpoints - some say start wearing the hijab right away, others recommend a gradual change; some women wear an abaya, some simply choose modest clothing, others wear the niqab - and I’m not sure where I belong. So I’d love to hear from fellow Muslim sisters and brothers: - How did you begin dressing more modestly? - Did you make the change gradually or all at once? - What do you personally consider the minimum for Islamic modesty? - Any practical tips for someone used to Western-style clothes their whole life? - And for sisters who wear hijab or niqab - how did you build confidence and feel comfortable wearing it? I’d appreciate kind, honest advice. I’m learning and trying my best, and I don’t want to feel like I’m failing while I work through this. Jazakum Allahu khairan for any help.
