eShakti Spring Review!

A few weeks ago, eShakti contacted me about reviewing an item from their Spring 2013 line! I absolutely love eShakti and the very special way they are unique from other online retailers :: they offer sizes 0-36W and completely customized sizing/style options! You can choose to remove or include embroidery, pockets and other embellishments as well as choosing sleeve style. They carry dresses, skirts, tops, cardigans and more. They also just introduced a new, exclusive Bridesmaids line! When I went to order my dress, I simply took my measurements, with a little help from Momma, and then put them in the Custom sizing section of the order. I also had the option to choose the neckline and dress length! I love this option because everyone is different - some people like their dresses above the knee and some like them below! I chose above the knee for mine.   The sizing of my dress fit very well.  The only thing "off" is the waist. It doesn't fit "tight" on me but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Better to be a little loose than too tight! Here is the dress I chose:

Sorry for the selfies...I'll get better pictures when I can wear this to an event! Sidenote: these pictures also reveal my new haircut! I love the detail of this dress & the cutout back of it.   I think it will look cute with these gold wedges I just bought at Target!

Have you bought anything at eShakti? If not, head on over! When you register you get a $25 coupon! WOO! *I received this dress free of charge for review purposes but the opinions are 100% my own*

eShakti Review

A couple of weeks ago, a representative from eShakti contacted me about doing a product review for them.  I of course said yes! This is the top I chose:

It's a grey, button down, 3/4 sleeve tunic that is longer in the front than in the back

Communicating with the rep from eShakti was super easy and I received the package in no time! Here are some of the benefits I have found of eShakti:

• They offer all of their styles in all sizes 0-26W
• They do custom sizing! If you can't find things tight/loose enough, long/short enough...there are no worries with eShakti!
• The customer service is fantastic!
• Everything delivers between 7-8 business days, including if you do custom sizing!
• The have lots of cute styles and pieces to choose from including dresses, cardigans, scarves, blouses, knit tops, coats, skirts...all of which aren't going to be "that top from J.Crew that everyone on campus has."

Really, can you go wrong with cute clothes that offer custom fitting? I don't think so. The only word of caution I will say is - go with your gut instinct on what size to get. Usually on larger/flowy tops I get a smaller size because I don't want it to be draping on me. In the picture you can't tell, but in person the top looks a little too big on me. It would look nice with a big belt, I just didn't happen to have one that matched. I ordered a small (size 4) but probably should have done the x-small (size 2)...the eShakti website advises you not to order your size based on how you think the garment will fit, so I didn't...oh well!

I ended up pairing the top with a sleeveless sweater since it was a little chilly...

Sweater is from Old Navy, Leggings are from Target, Boots are from Target

Here is the detail. The buttons have a floral design to them...

Overall I am very happy with eShakti and plan to order from them again!
