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! Beth Hi Bobby,

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 Hi Beth,

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! :) assalamalaykum,

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

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! Thank you so much for this entry. I am 5’10″ and 140 pounds.

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! Yes!

An article about shorter girls is a great idea, and definitely something I will put on the list for future posts. I suppose as a general recommendation, as long as the skirts fit you in the waist and hips, the style should hold fine if you alter the length. There is nothing wrong with getting the bottom of the garment hemmed--especially if it's only 3 inches. In regard to sizing varieties, we are certainly hoping to be able to create a garments collection that incorporates different measurements in one size range; so for example, a customer who wears size Large clothing would be able to choose from Large-Petite, Large-Regular and Large-Tall. Thanks again for your nice comments! Dear Tara,

As one of SHUKR's "loyal non-Muslim customers," I would say you can't go wrong buying one of their skirts! I consider myself a more-observant Jew, and though I only buy skirts from SHUKR, I can't wait for their email telling me about new products! Their twirly skirts are amazing! I hope you keep up the good work! And, a comment for Beth, though this article is about Tall girls, what about girls who are shorter (5'5")? I buy Medium skirts from you and they are about 3 inches too long! I don't know how to get them hemmed and still keep the flow of the design without messing it up. Could skirt lengths depending on height, be considered for future products? Hi James,
