The Custom Experience; Part 2

June 10, 2014

(See Part One) ...

I tacked on sleeves to this dress as well, and liberated it from the stuffy collar design they had as well! It comes with a self belt, but I am not too fond of those!

Light and twirly, feel like a ballerina who has been invited for tea!

I might do more custom clothing if this works out; I feel a lot happier knowing things fit! Also a much better experience with eShakti this time as compared to three years ago! And their cotton quality has gone up as well!

The duties are a bit stuff coming to Canada though, but I am just going to factor these into cost.

Does this custom frock meet YLF standards?

    I like this one even better than the first. It is so happy and a beautiful fit.

  • Joyce B replied 9 years ago

    I like both dresses. You must have a big closet for all your pretty dresses.

  • lyn* replied 9 years ago

    I just cull a lot ;)

  • deb replied 9 years ago

    I like this better than the first, also. It looks like you mood to go for tea.

  • MsLuna replied 9 years ago

    Lyn, the bodice looks amazing on this one! It looks like it's really made to your measurements!

    Regarding price/duty - is the duty quite hefty? Seeing your well-made, well-fitted garments is convincing me to try eShakti!

  • lyn* replied 9 years ago

    If you're American, eShakti gives you back your duties. I have to pony them as a Canuck.

    It's not actually that much, about $20/dress. But there's usually a coupon for at least that much.

    PM me your email if you wanna try :) I can send you that $35 off coupon!

    Thanks lyn! Will PM you!

    Love both dresses! I've never tried eShakti, but sounds like it may be worth looking into.

  • pil replied 9 years ago

    So fresh, springy and twirly! I'm glad you're having good luck with these dresses.

  • Aida replied 9 years ago

    Love this one! And especially after reading your description of how it feels.

  • replied 9 years ago

    Wowza, that fits you like a glove! So pretty and springy, too. Does the fabric have any stretch at all? 

  • Gigi replied 9 years ago

    Beautiful! The sleeves look good with it, imo.

    You should take ballet lessons. It sounds to me like you would enjoy it a lot! And I think it's very good for building muscle.

    Both of them look great. They truly do fit perfectly.

  • Alassë replied 9 years ago

    Wow, just beautiful (soft spot for florals and ballerina dresses)! And great fit!

  • MrsK replied 9 years ago

    Both dresses are great, and the fit is perfect! I am going to have to look into this, I love dresses but have difficulty finding ones that fit properly. I'll PM you my email if I decide to order! 

  • AviaMariah replied 9 years ago

    Wow!  This dress is really beautiful and looks stunning on you!

  • Thistle replied 9 years ago

    Stunning!  I really like this one better than the first.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    It's lovely on you! Very different mood from the first, and I like them both.

  • rachylou replied 9 years ago

    This material speaks to my Laura Ashley heart of hearts... much improved without the '80s puff sleeves, of course ;)
