There is a reason why I do not usually post fashion photos on my website…I’m not comfortable in front of the camera. I’ll participate in family photos or photos during outings and trips. But usually I am the one behind the camera!
When eShakti asked me to try out their custom women’s clothing, I threw my problems of being in front of the camera out the window. I think most women will admit that finding clothes that fit your preference and body can be difficult, so I was excited to try out some custom clothing!
eShakti has a wide range of clothing options in a variety of styles and fabric choices. When I found the perfect dress, I was able to add my body measurements (which I elected not to do) and change the neckline, sleeves and length of the skirt. I choose my dress to have a higher neckline, to be sleeveless and to have the skirt reach just below my knees after giving eShakti my height.
My dress shipped within 8 calendar days and arrived at my door in another 4 days. So in 12 days I received a custom made dress = awesome!
As soon as I received the package, I tore it open so that I could try on my new dress.
Pros
- I was able to customize the length of the skirt, the neckline and the sleeves.
- The dress has pockets!
- The straps have bra strap snaps in them – to keep your bra straps from showing.
- The ordering and delivery process was simple and easy
Con
I only found one con and that is the zipper is a little difficult to slide up and down. It has to do the the bulk of the material along the empire waist.
In Conclusion
I am very happy with eShakti’s dress and I am in love with being able to customize their clothing. I see myself wearing this dress often and look forward to purchasing additional fall to winter pieces.

I’ve heard of eShakti, and have only heard great things about it. I really want to give it a try. I love that you can customize everything, especially because I’m short, and so many things are too long on me. That dress looks great on you!

Now that sounds cool – customizing a nice DRESS! Makes it feel like you have your own personal tailor. #productreviewparty

Sandy Sandmeyer says
It’s nice to know that there are places that allow some customizations to fit those with their own body issues or to make something more modest than might be normally. I can’t wait to check this site out.
mybigfathappylife says
Yes, Sandy! I loved all the different options that were available!
