I do like it very much, and I'm seriously thinking of getting my skirts and shirts adjusted with buttons so that I can mix and match them and still be wearing a one-piece overgarment. (I've recently decided that I want to jilbab). You know, I get out so little that I dress up in my hijabi styles at home sometimes? XDDD My mom's like, "You're at home, take that hijab off!"

I know I'm a little late here, but hopefully these comments will be recorded for posterity. After all, if I'm reading through the archives, article after article, other sisters are too! :) Regarding sizing, we at SHUKR are aware that some people do encounter size issues with various aspects of our clothing. Please do know that we are diligently working to improve our cuts and sizing standards. Over the past few years, we've gone from clothing that was too wide and boxy to clothing that was a little too figure fitting. Hopefully, now, we are finding the happy medium. We do, for the future, intend to introduce a new line of sizing related to height so that a sister can purchase a Small-Petite, Small-Average, and Small-Tall. As a short person myself, I am very familiar with the added cost of having to have all of my clothing (and I mean all of it) altered. We hope to alleviate that for some ladies in the future. We are currently working on and testing a new feature that will give you detailed measurements for each individual garment (sleeve lengths, etc) as well as fabric information -- to help you make a more informed choice. We hope to have that up and running within a month, insha'Allah. I would also like to say thank you to all the sisters who said such good things about our services and site. It really means a lot to the sisters who work here to hear people say that they appreciated our hard work in the design and customer service areas. I will be passing this on to the other ladies here, as a means of encouragement. Thank you again. Sara SHUKR Islamic Clothing As-salaamu alaykum:

SHUKR has very high quality of clothes. I love the touch of the skirts I ordered; they are so gentle and look great. Size S can't cover my ankles, but size M is long enough (S is for 5"-5.2" tall, M is for 5.3"-5.5", and I'm 5'6"); I just need a belt to tighten the M skirt. Everyone should try SHUKR :) If the size is good for you, it's such a GREAT online store (good design, good quality, and fair-trade-like business). Oh sorry I didn’t state it clear.

I am 5'11" and I am size XL but it was pretty true to fit. The length in the arms is fine. I guess it is has to do with the size you order. I love the shirt. I wear it a lot because it is such a good staple. I've wanted to order a dress from them but I fear that it will be too short because in the size chart it specifically says sizes are designed for up to 5'9".. anyway..I just want to say this is the BEST website. After I converted and became a mother, I lost my sense of style..I wore things that I really didn't like just because they were modest enough.This has really helped me realize that shopping can be fun again. YAY!! Thank you everyone who contributes. I ordered a shirt from Shukr back in the fall. I am 5’11″ and I am size XL but it was pretty true to fit. The length in the arms is fine.

They have really great customer service in addition to the awesome designs and good business practices. It's just that I'm a bit tall and lanky, so by measurements I wear a small for tops and medium for skirts. The skirts are generally fine for me, perhaps a bit too short for my liking, but oh-so-cute. The customer service people are really helpful, so if you're not sure about the sizing for you from the info on the site (and they usually do provide measurements, particularly for skirt length), you can contact them and they're really gracious and helpful.
