One Dress Worn TEN Ways! eShakti Custom!

Meet my custom fit eShakti Dress. When eShakti contacted me and asked me to pick anything from their site as a gift for reviewing the order, well, like any girl who loves cloths, I jumped at the chance.

See Peggy of "She Hath Done What She Could" in her fabulous eShakti Dress HERE

To introduce you properly I thought I would show you just how versatile my little Hummingbird Dress is. 

So versatile, I pulled 10 outfits from my closet in under 3 hours and photographed them myself.

Please don't miss my review after the Fashion Show...
#1 - eShakti Belted with Sweater, Tights and Booties.




#2 - eShakti with Belted Pullover, Net Slip, and Pumps!

#3 - eShakti with Retro Jacket, Tights and Boots


#4 - eShakti with Orange Stripes and Platforms

#5 - eShakti with Ivory Cardi and Wedges



#6 - eShakti Belted with Pink Cardi and Metallic Heels



#7 - eShakti  with Yellow Cardi and Platform Sandals



#8 - eShakti in Pink, Orange and Yellow

#9 - eShakti with CATS IN A HAT




And #10 - eShakti and Me
 Which style was your favorite?

No Anthro Zone Review:

Why did I order this particular dress? Mostly for the little Hummingbird Appliques. I also have no Grey dress in my closet. What I found out is, Light Grey is not a flattering color on me.  Especially right now since I'm white as the new driven snow.  Glaring, Blinding, Snow White!

If you check out the prices on eShakti you will find they are very reasonable.  It costs only a bit more to customize your order.

This dress is solid as a rock.  I included my custom measurements with my order.  The fit is spot on.  Including the length.  Most dresses are too long in the arm holes or too wide.  Not this one, it's made to my specifications.  The waistband is elastic, and the dress has a side zip. 

There is no lining. The 100% cotton jersey is medium weight, with just the right amount of give.  But not so thin that your bumps, rolls and undergarment's show through.  This is machine wash, tumble dry.  That is an important factor for me when ordering a dress. 

It takes approx two weeks for delivery.  Naturally my dress was a wrinkled mess from the packaging.  No fear.  I spritzed mine with a mixture of liquid fabric softener and water and tossed in the dryer on medium heat for 10 minutes.  The wrinkles fell right out.  I didn't even have to wave my magic wand over this one.

They all look great, but my favorite is #1. It's so colorful!
I gotta say that number 9 wins hands down. eShakti with CATS IN A HAT! Ha-ha!
Wow, that is a versatile dress, and so very cute. Is it still on the site? There were so many pages of dresses I couldn't find it. I like looks 1, 2 and 9 best!

I ordered it about 6 weeks ago. I have no idea if it's still there. But really, there are so many better ones than this one. I should have linked to Peggy's 'She Hath Done What She Could' Post for her eShakti Dress. Her choice was fabulous.

Cute dress! #2 is my favorite, although they are all great! Thanks for the review:)
I love them all but for me #2 wins hands down! It is such an unexpected pairing!
#1 and #2 are my fave looks! I think the fit and flare of this dress is very flattering on you! And the petticoat underneath the dress for a pretty peek is genius!

Clearly, from all the comments, #2 is the winner. It was my first outfit I pulled from the closet and photographed.

Laura- how neat you did 10 looks! Love it! I think #1 is my fav- that cardi is a perfect match! Thanks for the shout out! I can't seem to find my dress on the website to link it. I agree, the new arrivals are wonderul! I love the red hearts dress!
Umm... I just bought the hummingbird dress. I love how you styled it and can't wait to get mine!

You did! That's awesome. What was your favorite style? It seems #2 is the winner. It was the first outfit I put together.

I like #1 best. I am watching the sweater on ebay, I hope I win it, so I can recreate your outfit!
My favorite style is hands down #4 and #9!!!! You look like you're on holiday in Greece. I adore the birds on the dress. Or are they ducks?
Ha this is brilliant! What a great dress first of all and how wonderfully versatile! My favourite is probably the hat and the cats, your cats are gorgeous. Thank you for taking the time to remix the dress so many ways and take so many pictures, such a fun post :)

You inspired me with your Saddle Seat Boots Fashion Show.

This is certainly a very versatile dress Laura - what a great pick! A grey turtleneck dress with a difference. I've never ordered anything form eShakti. It's hard to choose my fave look, but I think it'll have to be #9 with the cats. It looks so cheery and sunny! I also love #6 - so feminine!
LOVE # 2 but they are all so good! What a great dress and thanks for sharing all of those outfits. So inspiring!!
