In case you've not heard, Eshakti is a clothing company with a unique twist. You pick what you'd like and then you customize it, or you can get ready-to-wear. I'll explain in more detail below. The inventory constantly changes, which is a good thing, but if there's something you like, grab it asap. They sell from size 0-26, so there's something for everyone. And there are constant sales! Here's the silky, ruffly, lavender top I chose (note the Huggable Hanger I posted about yesterday and my snazzy shower curtain!):
What was my experience? I had great customer service and would happily use Eshakti again. How did I customize my top? I wanted thicker straps on the top, so I got it customized. I also put in my height, which most would call petite, but I've a long torso, so the top was a little short on me. The tank is flowy and little larger than what I normally wear, so keep that in mind when you order. But you can always return if not to your liking. I like the tank because I can wear it alone in warmer months, keep it casual with a cardigan, or dress it up with a blazer--that means it fits my Clothes Buying Rule (more on that next week!).
When: Yesterday
Where: Midtown Art Theater
