I’m a woman with a textbook hourglass shape. This means that while vintage duds look great on me, I can’t often find flattering contemporary clothing. Fortunately, there’s now a site that caters to unique measurements for cheap! Find out more after the cut!
eShakti ostensibly resembles your traditional online boutique, with a hint of Modcloth and a touch of Ann Taylor Loft. The clothing is cute and fun, though perhaps not groundbreaking…until you discover they custom fit their dresses. For free.
All you need for a custom frock are your measurements, which are easy to collect if you don’t know them already. Just pick out a dress, send them your info and if you don’t like the piece you can simply ship it back. Yup; they’ll custom-make a dress for you, and take it back if you’re unsatisfied. And their products are affordable; dresses range from $45 to $90.
You can also customize more than measurements with eShakti. Jezebel‘s Dodai Stewart wrote about how she ordered a dress with an open back, which they made with a closed one as per her request, at no extra charge. And when she didn’t like the neckline, Dodai was still able to return it. Amazing! I’m sensing a closet full of perfect-fitting dresses in my future.
Would you order any of the dresses on eShakti? Which ones?

Yeah, I saw that review on Jezebel. Looks interesting.

I am top heavy, I think this site is pretty neat. I wish I liked their clothes though. I don’t hate them, but they are just a little too cutesy and frilly for me.

I’m ‘low heavy’ … any tips? … a-line? ..

This site has a bunch of cute dresses! It’s so hard for me to find them because I’m short, but I have a symmetrical body. I fit into bigger kid’s clothes, but they fit all wrong around my top and my bottom areas for obvious reasons. I’m definitely going to bookmark them, I really like their pink parfait dress in their spring line. Thanks for this link!

I like the concept, but the dresses feel kind of brides-maidsy, safe and conservative.

Love the dresses on that site! I plan to order soon! If only I could get a little house on the prairie dress…

Oh gosh, I love this site! I have a hard time finding dresses, especially conservative ones. I also love these prices considering they are customised to your measurements.
Thanks so much for this!

@Gabrielle Birch@facebook - Did you see the part of the post where it says you can custom order for free? Just request a shorter hemline.
