Hello busy ladies who don‘t have time to go to tailors when big occasion arrives or those who are tired from scouting through the stores and searching for their own sizes and trying to find something beautiful. Todays’ blog is all about fashion revolution – about online tailors and how they can make our life so much easier! For this blog I have partnered with an online tailor eShakti to see how these services actually work and compare it to my regular way of shopping.
First of all, this idea came to my mind when I could not find Christmas gifts for my grandma and auntie. Whenever I ask them what they would like for Christmas or birthday their usual choice is something beautiful from clothing. But let me tell you that their close size is XXXL, and finding some nice clothing item is not that easy. Believe me, I have scouted through so many stores right before Christmas trying to find that beautiful blouse or skirt, and there was nothing to be found! Well, to be fair I did find a few options but they were not looking like something I would like to gift. So I ended up buying some gifts from cosmetics and skin care section instead of fulfilling their Christmas wishes…
Now coming back to online tailor eShakti. When I discovered them I thought – finally there is a solution for my Christmas shopping misery! So to try how this whole thing works they have let me choose and order an item myself. I was nicely surprised of all the choices that they have. I could select an already made dress and just adjust it to my specific measurements or design the whole dress myself! In the design section you can choose the fabric and the model of your dress, and on all orders you can select what kind of neck, sleeves and length of an item you would like to have. I chose the dress which was already made as I completely fell in love with its ruffles and that nice country style look. However, I have modified the length of it and added all my measurements. It felt really nice to know that this dress will be made according to my unique body measurements, especially since I usually don‘t have time to go to tailors or even search for fabrics. This was something that I could do while sitting at home and it made me really happy.
I have received the dress in exactly two weeks time and was nicely surprised with the quality of it – the dress was neatly stitched, the fabric felt heavy and nice to the body. It also had some hidden pieces (which I haven‘t noticed when ordering it but which will definitely improve my experience of wearing it) such as small bindings to hide bra stripes or a sticky line at the top of the dress to not let the fabric slip down if you are not wearing any bra. Although I ordered this dress to be worn at the beach, but the heaviness of the fabric and the quality that it is made with makes it more like a dress to be worn for an occasion or to go somewhere out.
So to sum this experience up, I would definitely order again from eShakti, especially when a nice occasion arrives or when my auntie and grandma asks me for some nice skirt or blouse for Christmas. The only thing that I would advise you to have in mind is to give enough time for the dress to arrive. Keep in mind that these dresses, skirts and other items are made according to your unique details and it takes some time to produce them. So if you are ordering something for a specific occasion, place an order at least three weeks in advance. I hope this article helps at least some of you and I wish you also a great experience with online tailors!
