Feature Post: eShakti

By Ms. Mommy

Auntie Amelia had her turn, now I (Ms. Mommy) want to share my opinions on eShakti. First of all, as I'm sure everyone saw on Amelia's post, eShakti makes beautiful, basic dresses with simple, lovely embellishments, in sizes 0-36. Best of all, they offer customization. eShakti was kind enough to also send me a dress of my choice from their NEW Spring line for review. I chose this contrast trim poplin dress in navy blue. 

Custom size, custom style

I also requested customization of the length; to have the hem fall at my knees rather than below (what can I say, I'm older than Auntie Amelia and perhaps a bit more modest in my dress). As Amelia noted, because eShakti asks for one's height along with dress size, they were able to customize the dress to hit exactly where I asked! Might I just say that this dress fits amazingly. It's actually my second dress from eShakti, and I love both of them. 

The best part? Not only is it comfortable and flattering (hooray for cinching in at the waist and hiding problem tummy areas!), it's the perfect dress for a busy mommy. It even has (are you ready for it?)... POCKETS! I love them. Seriously. I actually forgot the dress was supposed to have them and had to check after I'd taken it off, because they are so well sewn that they don't add any extra bulk to the hip area. Which, believe me, is the last thing I need. Those hip carried twins to a few days shy of 40 weeks, they take up enough space all on their own.

All in all, I've had a great experience with eShakti both with this dress and previous one. My package was shipped promptly and came perfectly wrapped a mere three days after it shipped! 

Don't forget, because they are awesome eShakti has offered readers of our blog a special discount code LEFTVERMME which is good for 20% OFF from now thru 03/10/13. Thank you, eShakti!

eShakti Review

By Auntie Amelia
A long time ago, Ms. Mommy was lucky enough to win a free dress from eShakti.  Needless to say, I was wrought with envy.  So when our inbox received an email offering us the chance to review a dress for free, I jumped on the chance to get my own!

eShakti is an online apparel store that offers an awesome mix of trendy, classic and unique looks for women.  Best part, they offer customization on all their dresses, sizes 0-36W plus Custom sizing.  I chose the Birds Eye View Dress because I love the retro style and full circle skirt.  Plus, I live in Portland and am now inclined to put a bird on everything I own.

I love the feel of this dress - a sturdy cotton and woven poplin that is fully lined.  The side zipper makes for a nice fitted bodice and there are even secret little straps on the side shoulder to keep your bra strap from showing! Genius!

And...pockets! Look! There are invisible POCKETS in my dress!  

I customized this dress to be "aboveknee length".  Since you can input your height it actually falls right above the knee!  Other customization options for eShakti apparel includes adjusting length, neckline, sleeves and embroidery.

Overall, I am very happy with my eShakti dress and my experience ordering from the company.  I received my dress via FedEx Express mail two days after getting my confirmation email from them.  I loved having to sign for the package and unwrapping my new present!

Here's a peek at the beautiful embroidery on the dress.  I guess my own negative would be that the embroidery doesn't wrap around the back of the dress.  Which I knew it wouldn't...but it's so lovely I wish it would!
