Featured: eShakti

Today I am featuring a very unique company called eShakti. eShakti is a unique women’s apparel store online that allows custom changes in the style of the garment – sleeve, neckline, length can all be changed by the customer to her preference. They also offer the full size selection from size 0-26W and custom size too. Shakti means power in Sanskrit. eShakti therefore means the power of the Net. We believe the internet empowers customers and helps companies be customer-centered.

A couple weeks ago eShakti emailed to ask me if I would like to try out one of their products.  I was able to customize a piece of clothing so I chose the Bow Tied Crepe Blouse in black.  Upon ordering I had to select my bra size and height so that my shirt could be customized to my size.  I also got to choose how long I wanted my shirt and sleeves to be.  I decided I wanted long sleeves and low hip length so I could tuck it in and have a looser fit. I took 2 photos un-tucked and then one how I would actually wear it.
The shirt came about a week after I ordered which is very quick considering it is custom.  This shirt fits so great and I love the bow in front, I just wish I could tie it better, anyone have tips? My only problem with this product was the fabric on this particular piece, it is 100% polyester so it does look a bit cheap up close and it wrinkles easily.  But I'm sure if you got one of the cotton pieces you would be fine; layering a blazer over the top will help immensely.

*I received this shirt free for the purpose of reviewing the ordering process and quality of the product; this in no way affected my review.

  9. That shirt is a must have! The bow tie makes it timelessly chic, polyester can be tricky but wrinkles can be controlled, you look so sleek!

  15. Ha, I'm a disaster at tying bows! It's a cute little shirt, but I know what you mean about polyester... I have a red one in a similar style and the fabric drives me nuts.

  20. I ordered a dress from eShakti and LOVE IT. You have to be HONEST about your measurements when submitting your information or the garment will not come out right. They have a wonderful selection of dresses, skirts etc. Also give yourself time when ordering. My dress took about 2 weeks. But it's a classic! Happy Tuesday!

  25. I love bow blouses, but i'm not sure how i feel about the crepe fabric... at the very least it does not do well with a flash.
