Dressing Up

When I was younger you probably couldn't bribe me to wear a dress. I hated them. I felt so much more free and comfortable in pants and shorts. I could climb, sit with my knees up and I didn't have to worry about anything. Somewhere after 24 that changed. My thinking was now, "Dresses are great! They're so much more comfortable in the summer. And my, don't I look cute!"  

Now that I have an assortment of dresses I wear to work or for just lounging around in the summer, I adore them. So when I was contacted by Jane from eShakti about reviewing one of their products I knew I wanted something to add to my dress collection. The first time I heard of this company was from Alison at Get Your Pretty On. What is it you ask? A women's clothing website with complete customization! 

eShakti allows you to completely tailor your items to your body's size so you'll get a perfect fit every time. The pieces are literally made for you! You can tailor the hem length of a skirt, the neckline of a blouse, the chest, waist, and shoulder measurements of a top. You can also decide if you want sleeves or pockets! 

Naturally I immediately jumped to their site and started ooh-ing and ahhing over all the items I could have specifically made for me. 

I was torn between this dress... and this one but ultimately, I went with something a little dual purpose. Not only can I wear this dress out in the summer, but I can also wear it to work. 

I love the print on the skirt. It's fun and colorful and it's not boring.

So how does it fit? Pretty damn well! I went with their standard sizing options because I personally didn't want the hassle of taking all my measurements. 

Read: I'm lazy.

The dress is the perfect length as if hits just above the knee. This was one of the specific customizations I chose. I kept the "stock" cap sleeve and collar because I liked the way they looked.

 

I loved this pleating along the bust and waistline. It's snug but in a good way. 

My only complaint is that I asked for the pockets to be removed (I hate skirts and dresses with pockets) and when I tried it on, the first think I noticed was that the pockets were still there. However, this is not something that ruined my experience.
