Disclosure for this modest dress that did not fit posting: I received a dress from eShakti to keep and review for the purpose of writing this posting but all opinions are strictly my own.
I’m a little embarrassed to write this post but here it goes…
When my go to place for modest fashion wanted me to do a review I leapt for joy. I love, love, love, love all of the clothing options at eShakti. It’s seriously my favorite online shop for finding a modest dress and you all know how I’m just the modest dress kinda gal. So yeah. I was beyond ecstatic about it. Being that I’m in need of a new dress in my life I knew that I’d be able to find the perfect one at eShakti. And I did. I spied this dress actually and instantly knew that it was the one:
Isn’t it lovely?
At eShakti you can actually assist in the final design. I chose the sleeves and length of the dress to be slightly longer. Just to make the dress even more modest for me.
Now this is where the embarrassing part comes in. I requested the dress a size smaller than I currently wear because I had just started working out again and knew that in no time at all I would be fitting right into that lovely dress. Only then I traveled all summer and ate out a ton and stopped working out and well… You get the idea.
My Modest Dress
I’m currently getting myself back on track and will for reals be into this dress in no time. It’s my goal and it will happen. I will be sure to post again about this dress. Call this post a teaser of sorts. Stay tuned…
Do YOU have a difficult time when shopping for a modest dress?
The biggest problem I have when shopping for modest dresses (particularly at “normal retailers like Macy’s, Kohls, Nodstrom, etc) is that the arm holes are cut just a tad too big or the hem is just a tad too short. By like an inch. SO frustrating.
I understand that it is “modest” by current fashion standards, but us LDS women have very specific requirements that they don’t meet :/ That is why I also love eshakti and other modesty-specific boutiques. I just can’t always afford their prices.
Oh I hear you! I’m a really short gal and I often wonder just how people can wear some of the things they wear because the skirt should be long on me and it’s not?
