When eShakti contacted me about reviewing one of their custom dresses I had an answer ready to go before I even got through the e-mail request. I have been eyeing up eShakti for quite sometime now. I can easily say over a year, could be much longer though, I blame tantrums and teething for the blurry mind. I think it’s obvious I jumped on this opportunity as fast as I could. So what you are looking at lovelies is an exclusive Little Miss Mama design.
This dress was customized from the collar down to the hem, literally. The neckline, the sleeves, the length, and the measurements; everything about this dress has been customized to suit my fancy-pants. You better believe I cherish this dress so much so it has a special place in my closet. No seriously. It does. It hangs right next to its bff, a silk hooded jacket I had designed for my BIG DAY.
I feel like I can take on the world… in comfort, thanks to it’s adorable pockets
When designing my dress I had only one thing in mind. Stay true to myself, don’t go wild on something I’ll only wear once a year, and stay away from a trendy fabric. Okay so maybe I had a few things in mind. If I was going to enjoy my design I wanted it to be practical; sweet, modern and something I could easily dress up or down. Mission accomplished! I chose the Shawl-Collar A-Line Dress as a base. I changed the sleeve from a dolman cap to a three quarter length sleeve. I changed the dress to knee length and I customized the measurements. Sammy took all my measurements in the evening after Fia was in bed. This was how I ensured it would a) get done b) get done properly and c) nobody lost an eye. All in all their was nine very specific measurements to be taken, shoulders, chest, bust, under bust, waist, hip, upper arm, length of arm, and height. While Sammy was taking my measurement I mumbled “I’m pretty certain this is what it feels like to be a Kardashian“, to his reply “Yes- and I’m the hired help“.
Maybe eShakti was mistaken, and took me for the Kardashian’s step-sister, as the dress arrived in impressive timing, considering its customization’s. Order completed online on September 12th and I received it at my door on September 19th. If I could be promised this type of service everyday, I would consider changing my name to Kairalyn. #justsayin
All in all, the dress is out of this world, eShakti has outdone themselves. From their customer service, to ease of online customization, shipping, and the final product! I highly recommend eShakti for affordable custom clothing {ranging from $45 to $170} , and right now I see that if you register with them you receive a $25 gift code for your very first purchase at eShakti. AND they are also offering a buy 2 get 1 free sale until October 6th. Perfect time to treat yourselves to something you KNOW you deserve!
