Your sizing system does not currently allow customers to specify height as most other Islamic clothing brands do. This is annoying because Shukr’s sizing system currently assumes that if you are thin you are short, and if you are fat you are tall. This is simply not always the case!

Please consider making the switch to proper sizing that other Islamic retailers use, where one can specify not only one’s dress size, but also the length of hem required.

My specific UK size is 54M but Shukr does not follow this sizing system and only gives me the option to purchase S, M, L, etc., and seems to make all its S garments in a 54 length, all its M garments in a 56 length, and so on. I cannot buy my exact size from Shukr unless willing to alter hemlines (which I would do happily but I recently had to return a skirt that had a rather complex frill design that would have made the alteration a bit too hard).

1: 5 Well, I would not buy this style for myself, but this still gets a 5 because this is such a versatile, basic style. I have noticed that you have restocked basic styles, and it is an excellent idea. In the west, it can be hard to find a basic modest top or a long skirt. I also like the color- neutrals are all fine and good, but in my opinion it is always better if the color selection has some “real colors” in it, especially if the style itself is simple.
2: 2 I think the idea has potential, but at this moment the contrast between the top and bottom is too great. It looks almost like a top and a skirt, but not quite…
3: 5 Again, a nice basic design in a nice color. Comfortable, versatile and very pretty.
4: 5 Good basic trousers. Pockets are always nice and practical.
5: 5 I really, really like this skirt, and would certainly consider buying one. It’s basic but not boring. By the way, your skirt selection at the moment is rather small- I’d like to see that change. In particular, I’d like to see embroidered skirts (such as the insanely beautiful Mumtaz skirt you had in production a couple of years ago…come to think of it, if you chose to restock it, I’d be the first in line to buy one), and skirts that come in other than neutral colors.

Though I personally wear only skirts and dresses, I think it is a good thing that you provide modest trousers. I live in the West, and here almost every woman wears trousers and jeans. If skirts were the only modest option available for women, it might make the transition to modest dress difficult for those who have always worn trousers. So, inshallah, modest trousers make modest dress easier and more pleasant to wear for many women. We all are in different stages on our journey, and should not be quick to judge others, as we often do not know their situation and reasons for doing what they do. As far as I know, loose trousers with appropriately long tops fulfill the basic requirements of hijab, and SHUKR website provides plenty of examples of outfits where trousers are worn that way.

I’d also like to say that one of the main reasons I buy most of my clothing from SHUKR is your being sweatshop free. I’d hate to think that the price of my affordable clothes would be poor treatment of fellow human beings.

Thanks for your nice words! Inshallah we’ll have some really nice colors coming up for spring
