I was recently invited to try a eShakti.com – the only online women’s fashion apparel company offering sizes 0-36W & custom clothing. I saw eShakti on a few other blogs last year and I was intrigued. I visited a few times, but did not pull the trigger.
eShakti offers a variety of styles and silhouettes. They make dresses, skirts, tops and jackets and dresses for weddings and special events. While not fully custom, the basic prices and styles are customized by your height and measurements. As a fairly short woman, I love that they take height and desired length into account. For an extra (small) fee, you can have items customized even further. The prices are very reasonable and they offer sales and specials, as well.
I was offered the opportunity to pick any item for review. It was a tough choice! I went with the Chevron Stripe Dress. It is a rayon and polyester material with a flattering chevron pattern. From the photo, I expected it would be a silky material. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the material had a nice structured feel and there was a full lining, too.
When I ordered the dress, I was able to pick a size, tell them my height and desired length and chest/waist measurement. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they got it exactly right. I asked for “at the knee” and the chest/waist fit perfectly. I often need to get skirts and dresses shortened or to buy petites. Some petites are too tight on me, so this process worked out perfectly for me.
I love the fit and the quality of the dress. As I mentioned, I received it free in exchange for an honest review. That said, the original price was $69.95 which is a great deal for the quality and even better for the customizations. This dress is super practical, too. I can throw on a sweater over it and wear it for cooler weather or add a jacket for work. It travels well, too. Oh, and as an added bonus, there are pockets.
New customers, get $25 OFF your first order from eShakti. You can also keep up with specials and promotions on Twitter and Facebook.
I am excited about eShakti. They have some fun vintage styles at affordable prices that I may try just for fun. I liked it so much, I signed up as an affiliate. If you click the links in this post, I will receive a small commission. I did this because I was so impressed with the quality. I even used the $25 to buy another dress which I will show you when it arrives. It was on sale so it was a real steal!
Wearing clothes with good fit makes you look even better without any other changes. That is another way to look and feel great in 2015.
What do you think?? Have you ever tried custom made clothes?
