I used to wear customized dresses while growing up. My mother was a seamstress and she liked to sew dresses for us, especially when there were special occasions. That saved my parents a lot of money compared to buying ready-to-wear dresses.
eShakti does customized dresses. There are many dresses to choose from eShakti but these three are my favorites. I ended up ordering the one pictured below, the Tulle Sleeve Heart Embellished Poplin Belt Dress.

I received the Tulle Sleeve Heart Embellished Poplin Belt Dress very quickly, less than seven days since I placed my order. I was very happy with it except for the fact that I miscalculated my measurement. I did not take into consideration that I put on a few pounds because I gave them my old stats. After trying the dress on, I found out that it was tight on me. It was then that I got on the scale. Sure enough, I put on 8 lbs.
Nevertheless, the dress motivates me to shed those weights so I will feel comfortable wearing it. Lesson learned: get on a scale and get the most recent measurement first before ordering a customized dress. Not the other way around like I just did when ordering this Tulle Sleeve Heart Embellished Poplin Belt Dress. Haha, my silliness makes me laugh. Also, have a family member or a friend get your measurements for a perfect fit.

The fabric feels comfortable on my skin and the dress was sewn nicely. Hopefully, I won’t make the same mistake again when ordering a customized dress. I would love to order this Bow Tie Floral Embellished Dupioni Shift Dress next time. Fingers crossed that eShakti has this dress in purple. I am from a purple nation so I love almost anything purple.
