I love your clothing to the max. I have bought several items and always excellent quality and happy with the design. The only thing is I am tall and I like shirts long to ankle. Really if anyone sews basic A line skirts I would buy 5-10 skirts from you. I am 5’8.5″ JAZ

Hi Bobby,

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I agree. It’s nearly impossible to design a collection of clothing that will fit everyone perfectly. A good tailor is indispensible in looking one’s best. Hope to hear more from you!

Hi Beth,

I love some of your modest selections. Selecting clothing with structure and shape is good advice no matter what size a person is. I personally focus more on items for the plus size woman but I can see that being a tall woman can be just as challenging. I think women of all sizes would do well to have a good tailor handy so they are not so limited. My favorite pick is the embroidered Duster.

Regards,
Bobby

assalamalaykum,

You have an amazing site! Thanks for providing this outlet for modest clothing!

My friends and I were wondering if you could make some skirts that are shorter in length, as we’re all around 5’2″ -ish. In the past we have ordered *several* skirts but we returned all of them because they were way too long for us. About 36 inches would be ideal. I have spoken to many Muslim sisters in the US who absolutely *adore* your designs and would purchase more items if they were offered in shorter lengths.

Just a suggestion though.

thanks!

Wow, I’m not a Muslim or religious woman, but I may consider ordering something from this place! I like to dress modestly, and it’s hard to find clothing that is very much so and stylish!

[...] loose yet flattering. I speak from personal experience in that the clothes I recommended in my post for taller sisters still fit me, and I’m 26 weeks [...]

Thank you so much for this entry. I am 5’10″ and 140 pounds. It is very difficult to find ANY clothing that fits me (especially my arm length), much less modest clothing, much less beautiful modest clothing like Shukr offers.

I saw Shukr recommended on a message board. I have had such a bad history with trying to find clothes that I put off making a purchase. When I did place an order, and I tried them on after they arrived, I just could not believe it. The sleeves generously fell to my wrists and the skirts, even after washing, were long enough. I immediately placed a second order and am reigning myself in from placing a third!

Thank you for your amazing clothes!

Yes! Please have an article for shorter women. I am 5’3\ and have a hard time figuring out what is most flattering and what items are the best to purchase. Thanks, and Jazak Allah Khair!
