Shorty Woes and an eShakti {Giveaway}

I don't know about y'all but I'm not a perfect standard size.  I'm just over five feet tall and as described by my wedding dress designer (during my pre-pregnancy existence)  - I sport some childbearing hips.  MmmK. 

This often makes shopping a challenge.

Enter eShakti, an online boutique that uniquely customizes sizes and styles with a request to make me a customized garment.

This shorty's dream come true.  

I decided to put eShakti to the test with their shirred denim chambray maxi dress because I love wearing long dresses, but you know what I don't love?  Hemming.

Dress - eShakti,  Necklaces - House of Harlow 1960,   Bracelet - Slinky 1950 Special Edition

I went with a standard size 2 (instead of entering my measurements), and when I clicked a little box indicating 5 feet, I seriously felt like I had won a prize.  The length was perfect with just enough room to wear with a bit of a platform flip.  A dress I'll most certainly wear the life out of this spring and summer (and it has roomy pockets!)

With incredibly moderate prices and retro-modern styles, I'll definitely be back for more.  Especially since their custom capabilities ensure a flattering fit.  Here are a few vintage inspired pieces that I currently have my eye on:

1. Black and White Nautical Dress  2. Bow Neck Chevron Print Top  3. Color Contrast Strapless Dress

4. Birds Eye View Dress  5. Her Fifties Colorblock Skirt   6. Collard Swan Print Dress

Now for the exciting part: eShakti is giving away a custom garment of choice to one lucky gal!  Their sizes range from 0-32 W and customizations such as an increased bust, shorter/longer hem and modified sleeves/neckline can all be specified.  Enter to win in the Raffelcopter below and a winner (US only) will be selected in one week.  Entries are verified.  Best of luck to you all my lovelies!
