Modest Fashion at eShakti

Want to send me on a frustrating errand?  Have me go shopping for a modest dress for my 14-year-old daughter.

While we occasionally have success at Dress Barn or JCPenney, it's often difficult to find a dress that fits well in the top and is long enough at the bottom.

A few weeks ago, I read about eShakti on Olivia's blog, Fresh Modesty, and she highlighted some really cute styles from their website.

What immediately drew my attention was that you can customize many of the dresses according to your preference.  When ordering standard sizes, you can modify the neckline (on some styles), type of sleeve, and the length of the dress.  Alternately, you can put in your exact measurements for a totally customized dress.

I bookmarked a few that I thought my daughter would like, then called her in to look at them.  One of her favorites was this Faux Leather Trim Poplin Dress.

However, we ended up ordering this Banded Stripe Poplin Dress.  I ordered her normal dress size, added cap sleeves, and chose below-the-knee length.

It arrived a little less than two weeks later and we are thrilled with the dress!  It's 100% cotton, has a side zipper and pockets, and fits her very well.  The below-knee-length hits the bottom of her knee.  (They do have a mid-calf length if you like a longer dress.)

Some of their dresses are a little pricey, but I've been watching the site and they seem to have sales frequently.  And I got a great deal on this dress, because I signed up for their e-mails as a new customer and got a gift code for $35!

If you've never shopped at eShakti, you can also get a $35 gift code by registering at eShakti with my eShakti referral link here!   (They are not paying me to write this post, but I do get a small referral fee if you sign up through my link.)

I'm already planning to shop at eShakti when we look for spring (and Easter) dresses!

Have you ever shopped at eShakti?  Where do you like to shop for dresses for yourself or your girls?
