eShakti - A review

Hey folks... I have a review for you today on a website called eShakti. I was emailed a few weeks ago asking if I would like to do a review on this website called eShakti. Don't ask me how to pronounce it, because I'm not 100% sure.

Anyway, so I got on their website, because I had never heard of them before and saw that they do customizable clothing/accessories, and thought "Wow, sweet!" They also carry sizes 0-26W, something for everyone.

I decided to take my chance and get my own free item and try it out. I thought the website was pretty neat, in the fact that you can customize the clothes to your liking. I liked that, alot. I'm picky when it comes to dresses, I like them to look a certain way on me. So, I took my chance.

I went with this dress:

I thought it was a nice casual, but possibly evening dress. It could be used for multiple occasions. I decided I didn't like the length, and wanted it a bit more shorter. Hello? Customizable remember!? I also hate strapless, and decided to throw in some straps too. I loved the ability to customize it how I wanted to and it's FREE to do. For being able to completely customize to my liking (look, sizing, length, etc) the pricing for the dress wasn't too bad. You can check on the dress I got here.

I got the dress in not too long ago. I have to say that it came pretty quickly considering it came from India, where one of their. When I opened up the box and took out the dress, I have to be honest that I wasn't too thrilled with the material, which I went back and double checked and it said 100% Cotton, woven poplin. I know that poplin is used more commonly for high quality garments, which is a plus, and in the fact that it is a well made dress, but for me, I was just not a fan of it. Items made from this material are easy to iron and do not wrinkle easily, so that is another plus. If the fabric was just a little softer, as I thought cotton would, and not so hard, I might have been a bigger fan.

I decided to put it on anyway, and once again was a little disappointed. It didn't fit me near as well as it should, and with the fit-and-flare shape, as described on the website, it was a more be way tight at the top and BAM, flare that shit wayyyy out type of dress. It made my ass look... way big. Not quite the look I was hoping for. 


It could very well be that I totally picked the wrong dress for me, and that another dress on the website might do me better. I really did like the ability to customize the dress, and they do have some super cute stuff on there. It's definitely a unique website, with a lot of features that many do not have. You can check out eShakti here.


I think that I would definitely give them another chance, and try customizing another dress to my liking. Possibly pick something more bright and colorful. The don't just have dresses, that have tops, skirts, bags, and more. It worth taking a peek at!
