I was provided with a free eShakti dress to help facilitate this review.
I have been working on getting my figure back and since I haven’t quite gotten there yet, I often find it hard to locate a dress that looks really good on me. I have been watching enough What Not To Wear to know what I should and shouldn’t highlight but department stores don’t seem to really care. They are all about the trends. I need well constructed pieces that fit my 5’3″ frame without overwhelming me.
That is where eShakti really takes the cake, so to speak. They offer something that I think is unheard of. For a very reasonable price you can pick the dress, or other item, that you like and then have it tailored to your specifications. I started by choosing the Savannah dress in a lovely Turquoise. I loved the faux wrap effect and the retro styling which looks great on my figure. Then I selected the size. I decided to choose from traditional sizes, but you also have the option to actually measure yourself and submit those measurements to ensure a more perfect fit. I think this is a great idea and I will probably do that the next time I order. The next step has you enter your height. This allows them to proportion the dress properly. Obviously a size 10 is going to fit very differently on someone who is 5’2″ compared to someone that is 5’10”. Lastly, and I think this is sort of the most fun, you get to make changes to the design of the dress. With the Savannah dress I opted to have it fall right above the knee. Some of their other designs have more customizations available, such as type of sleeve, neckline, lengt, embroidery, pockets and other embellishments. h. This is perfect for someone that wants to make sure their arms are covered or really wants a maxi dress. eShakti now offers size 0 – 36W. Whatever the desire, eShakti has you covered.
And the pricing is VERY reasonable. The Savannah dress starts at $64.95 depending on material you choose. You don’t pay extra for customization! I was very pleased with the quality of the finished product. The material was well weighted and the craftsmanship was good. I loved how well the hidden zipper was constructed, it did not pull at all. I would not hesitate to buy from them.
One other thing I really like about eShakti is they have a gallery of real customers in their clothing. I love to see how others are wearing these beautiful articles and found it very inspirational.
That dress looks great on you! I am 5’4″ and have trouble finding dresses that fit and look good. I’ll have to check out that site.
Very cute. I love the color and the length.
