Yes, I always buy my abayas online because I don't find ones that fit my height in the shops in my city. They are usually short for me. So I purchase them from an online store where I provide my height and weight. Then they make an abaya that fits me perfectly. Another item that I buy online is shoes. Again, because of my height, I can't find my foot size. So I order them from an online store that sells imported shoes available in all sizes.
