So back on 5/26 I bought two dresses from eShakti, which just arrived today. My brother’s wedding is coming up in August, and I was thinking one could be for the wedding, and one for the rehearsal dinner. So first off, I need opinions: Appropriate for a summer wedding? (Clearly I’d add shoes… a cami… makeup… jewelry… lol)
The theme of the wedding is “black and white,” so I’m thinking the top dress for the wedding, and the cranes dress for the rehearsal dinner. Too casual? Or good. (Keep in mind: I rarely actually wear dresses, lol.)
But now, let me tell you the cool beans part about eShakti. One of the reasons that I rarely wear dresses is that I have trouble finding dresses that fit quite right. Over at eShakti, they will customize any dress for just $7.50 more. That’s right. $7.50. You give them all your measurements and your height, and they make the dress to size. Mine came within three weeks, customized, shipped from India — not bad at all. And they actually fit me, with buttons that button without gaping and a waist that falls where it’s supposed to.
Most dresses also come with pockets. YES! Pockets! You can choose to eliminate those in the customize option, although I LOVE this. You can also choose your skirt length, type of sleeve, and more. All included in the $7.50 eShakti customization fee.
Right now, eShakti is having a buy two get one free sale — the price of your lowest priced item will automatically come off in the cart. I think this pink polka dot one is adorable for spring! Try code klpanaches or latitudes or loves for another 10% off that.

I just wanted to thank you for posting info on this site! I have a wedding to attend and I remembered your pretty dresses from earlier in the summer. I just placed my first order on EShakti and I went through your link so hopefully you will get a referral credit. Can't wait to see my new dress!

I combined it with the 10% off code to get the above for $51.91 shipped. Maybe more wedding appropriate, although maybe still too casual with the fabric? I added cap sleeves. I'll let you guys know! lol

You look great in both, my suggestions a beige or off white belt so it doesn't cut you off in the middle and bright accessories. And for the black and white dress a little bling. And btw thanks for posting, I love all their styles and I can't wait to try out one their cute dresses. Right up my alley. :-)

My vote is for the black and white. And I LOVE that it has pockets :) I'm not really digging the white one too much...seems too casual for either event. I do love the pretty print at the bottom of the white one, but the top part has too much going on.
