New eShakti Dress

Hi Ladies,
Sorry for the underexposed pictures. I took some really wonderful pictures of this dress and then accidentally deleted all of them. :( Then I had what I'll classify as a "photography malfunction". I don't know if it was the photographer (me), the camera or the lighting, but I couldn't get the lighting right!!! Argh!!! Then my camera kept turning off every time I took a picture. (I had dropped my it a week before and was freaking out.) Anyway, I'm happy to say that after one frantic trip to the photography store and my refusal to leave until they told me what I was doing wrong, I figured out what was the problem. I'm going to go ahead and share it, because even though it's  boring and highly technical, it gives you an idea of how ridiculously prone to screwing-up photography is. (If you ever see a photograph that you love, thank the photographer - she probably sweat blood and tears in order to take the shot.)

eShakti Review

Wow! eShakti's ability to stay ahead of the fashion curve, tailor clothes to fit you and do it at a reasonable prices never ceases to amaze me! They are also giving my readers $35 off their order by using the code: PETITES35. (It's plural!)
(See bottom of post for details.) First of all, check out this new line below:

It's a matching skirt and top that you can wear as a dress, and then separate to pair each with neutrals. Isn't that the cutest idea?

Radiant Orchid Dress: Eshakti Review

Hi Ladies,

Do you like cute, trendy clothing, but struggle to find a fit that flatters you? Have you always dreamed of customized clothing, but were afraid of the price? If so, I'm happy to share eShakti with you!

For years, I watched eShakti before starting my blog, but I was too afraid to make a purchase. The prices were all in $60 - $80 range, which is less than I pay for a dress + tailoring, but I was scared to order customized clothing online. However, I shouldn't have worried, because they have an awesome return policy! (Full refund w/i 30 days + 20% if you put it on a gift card.) Therefore, when they contacted me to review an item, I was thrilled and jumped at the chance!

Since I've had the chance to work with eShakti, I've learned a few other great things about their company:

• All items come in sizes 0 - 36W
• Completely customizable to your height and measurements.
• If you are a little intimidated by taking your own measurements...don't be! The only one I needed help with was the shoulders. You can ask a friend or family member to do it. (I  popped in to my local tailors.) eShakti makes it very easy by providing a handy measuring guide. TIP: if you are between sizes, for instance if your bust is 33.5 inches, you can select 33 or 34 on the form and then put your exact measurement in the comments.

One thing to note is that they take a maximum of 14 business days to deliver, although some items take less.
