❌ MUSLIM GIRLIES! AVOID THESE MISTAKES AT ALL COSTS! ❌

Find Your Perfect Fit!

Finding the right dress or abaya that suits your body type or height can be a struggle. Whether it's too short, excessively long, overly snug, or too loose, I've got you covered! Let’s dive into the dos and don'ts for various categories of modest dressers, along with clever solutions for those times when your fashion finds don't quite meet your expectations.

What to Look For 👀:

👗 Fabric: Choose high quality, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or chiffon for comfort and an elegant appearance.

👗 Sleeve Length: Long sleeves are a must for modesty. Look for styles with sleeves that reach your wrists or consider layering with under sleeves for added coverage.

👗 Customize Option: Look for brands that offer tailoring services or an option that allows you to select your preferred length.

What to Avoid 🙅‍♀️:

❌ Sheer Surprises: Sheer fabrics can be tricky to style modestly, so stay away from that unless you're up for layering!

❌ Tight Squeezes: Say no to skin tight styles that goes against modesty's definition. Also, wouldn't you rather enjoy the feeling of comfort? Plus flowy dresses and abayas make you feel like a princess! 👑

❌ Deep Plunges: Keep those plunging necklines out of your closet unless you're willing to layer or wear a hijab style that covers it up!

Shopping Tips 🛒

📏 Measure Up: Take precise measurements of your bust, waist, hips, and desired lengths. It's like crafting your own fashion spell.

🔍 Be a Detective: Check out customer reviews when online shopping! They're your secret weapon for information about the quality and fit.

Dressing Tips and Store Recommendations for Every Body 🌟

👑 For Tall Queens 👑:

1. Slip on Skirts: Find a thin solid color skirt that matches your dress and allow it to seamlessly blend in, giving you that extra length you were missing.

2. Maxi Skirt Transformation: Transform a short dress into a maxi skirt by folding the upper part down and wearing a blouse or top over it!

3. Knee-High Boots: When your dress feels too short, pair it with knee-high boots to cover your legs and create a balanced look.

4. Size Up: I usually go for a larger size when shopping for dresses and abayas because, in most cases, it means more length and a loose, flowy fit!

🛍️ Store Recommendation: ASOS Tall, Urban Modesty, Boohoo Tall, and Etsy (some shops allow you to enter your measurements).

👑 For Short/Petite Queens 👑:

1. Instant Hemming with Tape : Use fabric tape or double-sided tape to temporarily adjust the length of your dress for the day. Simply fold up the ends and secure it.

2. Iron on Adhesive: This is the way to go if you want a more lasting solution! This can also be used for altering pants that are too long.

3. Platform Shoes: Consider buying shoes with a thicker sole to add some height.

🛍️ Store Recommendation: Boohoo Petite, ASOS Petite, Shein, and Etsy (some shops allow you to enter your measurements).

👑 For Plus Size Queens 👑:

1. Layer: Layering a kimono or an open abaya over a dress that may be too snug can add style, coverage, and a flattering flow to your look!

2. Choose Stretchy Fabrics: Dresses made from stretchy materials like jersey or spandex blend fabrics provide extra comfort.

3. Dresses with a drape: Search for flowy dresses with a drape that adds extra fabric where you need it most for a modest look.

🛍️ Store Recommendation: Modanisa Plus, Boohoo Plus, ASOS Plus, and Etsy (some shops allow you to enter your measurements).
