So I got a test* dress from eShakti.com and had them make it to my measurements.**
It arrived today. I tried it on. It fits! I was also, perhaps, a bit conservative on th length and got it made to mid-calf isntead of below-the-knee. Toby said "It's nice...but don't that this wrong. It looks a little...Mennonite." So, yeah, a bit too long. :) And until I actually get around to having it hemmed up (or do it myself), I will need to de-conservatize it with accessories (and will probably need to continue to do it when it's shorter). Ideas?
It's black and grey, higher neckline, elbow-length sleeves. Alas, it is not currently on their website. Kind of think of
this, in grey, with sleeves and a black bib.
(Also, if you're intrigued by the site, use my gift code: STEPHANIE83WR and I'ff get a $15 coupon, and the new-customer coupon you get (good after your first order has been delievered) is $30. The fabrics are kind of on the cheaper side, but okay.)
* test because it was a cheaper dress that I was trying out before I dropped the moolah on one of the more expensive ones.
** I've been circling about the site for years, and finally took the plunge on a shirt. It fits! So then tried the test dress.
