Clothed with Grace: Print Love

Print Love

I was recently contacted by eShakti again to pick out a piece for review.  I worked with them twice last year and honestly didn't love the dresses I picked.  I did the custom fit and still did not like the fit of either dress very well, one was too big and the other was too long in the shoulders.  I was a little hesitant to try a third time, but decided to try anyway.  This time I picked a dress similar to this one because I really liked the print.  I also customized the neckline to make it round, changed the shoulders to sleeveless and the length to above the knee.  I also decided to chance it and just order a medium instead of doing custom measurements.

When the dress arrived I was really happy to see the great print in person and I love the flowy fabric too.  And what do you now, if fits great!  I decided to pair it with my white blazer for a more polished look, but will definitely wear it more casually with a cardigan or denim jacket this summer.

My overall experience was great this time.  I love that I could customize the dress and am happy that it actually fit like I'd like too.

Also, have you entered to win my giveaway for a $50 credit to The Hidden Trunk here yet?

Lastly, check out the styling I did for Susan at Charming Lucy on her blog today. : )

    I love that you can customize your dress with eshakti! And I love that you can add pockets to almost any dress they have! They really have some fabulous options and great customer service! You look lovely! Susan

    Love that print! Super cute and matches with a TON! eShakti's sizing is so weird on me-- I measured myself and was super close to a size so just went with that but the top of the dress was SUPER tight and the skirt part on the bottom was HUGE! But yours fits so great on you! And that necklace looks like it was made for it!

    I love eshakti. I had problems with my order last year and they were amazing. It's hard to customize when you are doing it over the computer. So glad that the dress fits. It looks amazing on you and is perfect for the Summer.

    I love the element around the waist, it defines the waist while adding that extra pop of color!! The necklace is the perfect addition! Great look on you:)

    My dress had the same "too big shoulders" problem. It's like the only measurement they don't require, and of course, it was the problem! Like I said, on Instagram - I love this dress and almost picked it!

    Love the print of this dress! Glad you finally had a good experience...I worked with them a few years ago and was not at all happy with the fit.

    I love the print you chose! The white jacket and gold shoes seem to frame it perfectly and let it really pop :)

    It looks great, I love the print! I was really surprised when the regular medium fit me perfectly too. I thought for sure I'd need customized fit but all my measurements matched up so I figured I'd go for it. I love all the options they have to change the necklines, sleeves, etc.
