eShakti Review -- Finally!!

Dress, c/o eShakti.com | Headband, Target | Black sandals, Payless | Silver pyramid bracelet, LOFT | Murano glass ring, Target

I am sorry that it has taken me so long to review this dress, compliments of eShakti, but better than than never right? So without further ado.... I am no expert at reviewing, but I am pretty good at having strong opinions, so I will do my best to make this as systematic as possible.

Company/Customer Service:

•  Its easy for me to get on board with a company that works hard to provide trendy and stylish items to women of sizes 0-26, at a reasonable cost. Not to mention their ability to provide customer fitting for only just a little bit more.
• The representative who I exchanged emails with regarding my order was always polite, helpful, and personable. She was a real person not a scripted email message; I like that.

Shipping/packaging:

• Shipping was super fast!
• Packaging was very thorough and secure. The item came wrapped in plastic, inside inside a large envelope, inside a box. No worries about your item getting wet/stained/ripped!

The product:

• The dress is a very soft and natural feeling cotton.
• There was no chemical odor on the material, like I often find with other mail order clothing.
• The color combo is uncommon yet very flattering.
• I sent eShakti my measurements and had the length adjusted on this item and the fit was superb. It pulls a little acrossed the chest, but I think that has more to do with it being a shirtdress than with the construction.
• I washed the dress before reviewing it because there is nothing worse than receiving a gorgeous item in the mail, putting it through the was and getting a wrinkled, shrunken, frumpy mess out of the wash. That is not the case her! It laundered great, though came out very wrinkly. I think this can be expected of a thin 100% cotton. I ironed it and the result wasn't crisp, but comfortable.

Final thoughts:

• Really the only complaint I might make is the straps; there is alot of fabric overlay which shifts out of place annoyingly when the dress is on. I suppose this extra fabric would make it very easy to have the straps altered to custom fit a larger or smaller chest. So this may be a plus for some people.
• I would totally order from eShakti again in a heartbeat! And I will (and already have) recommended the site to other people looking for a unique item, in their size, and reasonably priced.

A big thank you to eShakti for providing me this pretty summer dress to try out, and to all my readers that voted to help me choose which one to pick!!
