    eShakti: Fabulous Clothing for ALL

    At first glance, eShakti seems too good to be true. Fabulous clothes with unique boho flair, handmade, in sizes 0-26W…..and affordable….AND custom. That’s right, if you order something and want a sleeve shortened, the hem lengthened: they will do it for you with a minor fee.

    So who is eShakti?

    “eShakti makes distinctive designer clothes for women. We offer custom-size as well as standard-size. And our custom-styling option makes it truly unique - you can make a top/bottom shorter or longer, change the sleeve length or the neckline, the way you want it. We are based in Seattle, USA and Chennai, India.

    Our design team creates magic. They work at the details; a lot of the designing is hand-crafted. In some, hand-working starts with the weaving. In others it is the fabric texture, detailing, hand-block printing, or embroidery. We like cotton, linen and silk, but also use some man-made fibers. Our clothes are comfortable to wear – customizing helps this further. ‘Comfort and workmanship’ is our design philosophy.” (read more)

    I’ve read a lot of reviews online, and the majority is very positive. eShakti is very popular with plus sized women because they offer such wonderful customization and styles that aren’t always available in plus sizes.

    I’m putting an order together for myself, check out the cute stuff that is about to find a home in my closet:

    Smooth cotton satin top is designed with precise pin tucking along the front and back yoke that releases at the waist and finished with leafy print at the hem and cuffs.

    Pintuck trapeze top $39.95

    -Cloth covered button-and-loop front closure.
    -Three-quarter length sleeves with banded cuffs.
    -Mid-thigh length.
    -Side slits at hem.
    -Cotton satin; machine wash.

    This would be so cute with jeans!

    Pleat front kimono silk top $34.95

    High-sheen, drapey silk shapes a gorgeously subdued top with an easy cut through the body. Pleated layers on the front offer a structured contrast, while curved side panels cleverly convert to floaty flutter sleeves.

    -Center back zip.
    -Curved hem.
    -Hip length.
    -Silk; dry clean.

    This is a sexy top! $34.95 for 100% silk?! WOW!
