If you follow me on Facebook you are probably aware that I’m a huge eShakti fan. I love their custom styling and sizing options. For ladies like me with smaller chests and larger hips, custom sizing is a must! All I did was enter my measurements once and each time I order something new the site loads them again so I don’t have to worry about it.
The hubs and I are taking a trip to Jamaica next March for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. I’m so excited to be going. This is our first trip alone since our Honeymoon! We are staying at a Sandals resort which has a dress code for most restaurants so I am trying to stock up on some elegant, yet summery dresses. That’s where eShakti comes in. I’ve ordered three dresses in the last month and each one fits me so well!
This floral number I wore the other day and every person I saw commented on how it looked like it was custom made for me. HA! Imagine their surprise when I turned to them and said “IT WAS!”. And to tell them that it cost me under $100 to do so… their faces were priceless.
This is another of the dresses I purchased. Isn’t it fabulous? It is part of eShakti’s Menswear collection and I am in love. The color, the ruffles, the slim little belt. I chose to have it shortened a little above the knee to help slim my appearance and elongate my leg. The fit is perfect and I was super excited to wear it last night for my parents Vow Renewal Ceremony! It is their 35th Wedding Anniversary and my siblings and I hired a photographer to capture the event – a total surprise for my parents!
And since I’ve shown you the other two, here is the third dress I purchased, because every girl needs a LBD, am I right? Remember, all of these dresses can be customized. Above the knee, below the knee, add sleeves, take away sleeves, change the neckline, etc. This little number I left as was, although I’m wearing the tie around my waist instead of tying as a bow at the neckline:
{Man I love me a good dress with pockets – Did you notice all three of the above dresses had them?}
When eShakti contacted me to do a review for them there was no hestitation.
OF COURSE I want to! Let’s add another dress to this girls growing eShakti collection.
Introducing the Very Berry Tiered Dress!
Gotta love timer photos, right?
This dress is very comfortable and moves easily. It is well constructed, as are all of the dresses I’ve received from eShakti. It fit well, although the top could have been a bit smaller… I might need to add a little fluff in my top. I wasn’t sure about how I felt with the ruffles and my hips, but in the end, I decided that I do like it. I’m a hippy person, but I don’t think these accentuate them in a bad way.
I also had a chance to work with their customer service department and I was impressed. (They didn’t know that I was a blogger that was doing a review for them, just thought of me as another everyday customer.) I was worried when I ordered the grey ruffle number that I may not have done it with enough time for my parents vow renewal ceremony. I called customer service and spoke with one of their reps and was so surprised! When I told her my issue and she checked on the status she said she wasn’t sure if it would be there in time. I figured I would be told that I should have chosen rush shipping or was out of luck, but she said that she would contact the production team and let them know that I needed it by October 3 at the latest. The next day I received a phone call and the same rep told me that my dress was shipping on the 24th and I should have it in time. Seriously? What company does that nowadays? eShakti, that’s who! I’ll definitely continue to shop eShakti in the future.

SO super cute! I’ve been wanting to order from them for awhile, but I’ve only seen a couple of their dresses on actual people, so I wasn’t sure about the fit. You totally just sold me on them – love all of those dresses on you! 🙂
I definitely recommend the custom fit. It costs $7 but is worth it. I ordered my “regular” size the first time I did a review for them and it was too big in the top AND in the waist. I ordered another dress just recently that was on clearance so I couldn’t get the custom fitting, but it was cute and I wanted it and the price was right, so I ordered a size smaller than normal. It fit me, but was a TEENY bit snug in the waist, but not uncomfortably so. But when I do custom it fits me perfectly and there is no worrying about it being a tiny bit too small or too big. 🙂
I’ve ordered from Eshakti three times, they have beautiful dresses at affordable prices, but make sure you have a correct size measurement or go up a size.
