Oh, eShakti dress, how I love thee!
When eShakti contacted me to try out one of their dresses I was BEYOND excited. I had seen eShakti dresses on other blogs like Rachel's Look Book and Hems For Her, and I had visited their site and read about the custom fit options for their clothing. Why don't all retailers DO THAT? I simply had my Mom measure me (with a tape measure, more on that later) and typed in my measurements for the dress I wanted. I picked this gorgeous bird-print dress in a lovely watermelon color. I also modified the dress, making the neckline a more modest Vee, having it hit right at my knees, and I added pockets.
OH, how lovely this dress FEELS! It's cotton, so it breathes. It has a side zip so I can pull it on right over my head without assistance. I already mentioned that is has pockets, which is one of the best things EVER in dresses, but it also had a feature I wasn't expecting! The birds and the stripes are EMBROIDERED! They aren't printed on! How cool is that? They won't fade off after I wash it a million times. That one little detail knocked it out of the park for me.
I am super, beyond happy with the fit of this dress. My Mom and I only had a tape measure from my tool kit to measure me with, so I was worried that the fit would be off. SO not off! I adore seeing the label on it in my closet. Inside, it merely says "custom" instead of a size. It makes me feel like a celebrity. Did I mention how twirly this dress is?
Super twirly.
See the beautiful embroidery?
I will definitely order from eShakti again! I feel so flirty and pretty in this beautiful dress. They can never disappoint with the custom fit option, and how can I ever own another dress that isn't made especially for me? Be sure to check them out! They even have bridesmaids dresses now!

BEAUTIFUL in all ways!! You look Fab!!
Thanks Shelly! I love this dress. It's fun and pretty, and I can dress it up OR down. So perfect!
Thanks! My Mom was iffy about the shoes with the nude bag, but this is how I saw it in my head when I first ordered it! I would also rock it with flat leather sandals for a more daytime feel.
How beautiful!! This dress fits you AND your personality - I LOVE the pink color on you!
I really can't wait for the day that I can order and eShakti dress. Having a custom made piece just seems so damn chichi to me!
Thanks Catherine! I can't wait to wear it again. My only negative was that it wrinkled. I don't own an iron!
I love seeing that "custom" label in my closet! I really want one of their chevron print skirts next. I wish they would do blazers too. I have trouble finding blazers that fit over my chest!
Oh my gosh! This eShakti dress is so adorable and looks amazing on you!
Wow that dress is amazing! You can tell how good you feel in it too just by looking at you in the pictures, you look so happy! Such a cool idea I'm going to have to check that out!
I thought it was super neat. Even if you can fit in a conventional size, why not customize> You can add sleeves, pockets, adjust the lengths. So cool!
Thanks Rachel! I really love it. I love some of their bridesmaids dresses too.
Absolutely stunning. 100% my style. I love the colour and the patterns

That is the cutest dress ever!! The shoes go perfectly with it as well. I love the idea of custom fit. Dresses look horrible on me. Maybe if I get a custom one I would like to wear dresses. Great idea. Love the look!!
Thanks Kacie! They are vintage Guess from the 90s.
Thanks Angela! I love it. I really can't wait to get another one! I really want one of their skirts.

Thank you!
Thanks Angela. I really love their stuff!
Those shoes are my fav. I thought they went with the retro vibe of the dress.
I love eShakti, I own a few pieces from them and love how it's a custom fit!
Too bad we didn't have the proper type measuring tape..But it is still such a cute dress, and whats more is I think the polka dots work fine with it!!!
Me too! I wish they sold blazers. The custom fit option would be great with a blazer!
You are so funny Mom. Polka dots go with everything!
I agree 100%!
