What? You've never heard of eshakti.com? It's my addiction, MY PRECIOUS. It's a women's fashion company that sells fabulously funky dresses in sizes from extra small to 6X – and, for only $7.50, they will custom make any dress in your exact measurements!
I KNOW, RIGHT?
This isn't phenomenal news for those who can buy stuff off the rack but, for people like me it's a godsend. In the past, my biggest reason for buying clothes was they were in my size. Didn't matter how ugly they were – if they went up around my lardy loveliness, I bought 'em.
Unlike most plus-sized gals, I have no boobs. I have boob-like calves, yes, but no actual boobs, and since my calves don't have nipples, they're not overly attractive. Then again, I have massive arms. Imagine a body builder with huge muscles. Now imagine the muscles have fainted. My youngest son once asked, before I disowned him, why my muscles grew upside down.
With MY PRECIOUS, none of this matters. I send them my measurements, they send me a custom made dress that fits me like a glove.
Well, a glove that would fit me if my hands weren't the size of ham-hocks.
Very cool, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteOooooh.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I never hear of them before? Thank you. Rather a lot.
My friend Susan loves eShakti too and posts pics of herself in all her outfits with matching shoes, every day. It's too bad I absolutely HATE wearing dresses.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy! I love the look of these dresses, especially the second one. Very fetching indeed! I must look into them. Love the idea that they'll make to measure.
ReplyDeleteDon't fall over yourself seeing me pop up here! Long time no chat, I know. I hope to see you more often when you're not busy clothes shopping.

Oh, I like that bottom one...very flattering.
ReplyDeleteOut of the park! You look so happy and free in these pictures, I had never heard of these dresses, how wonderful. I am also curious about the working again bit, perhaps I'll call...Love you
ReplyDeleteVERY VERRY cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, you lovely lady! How can you be so mean to yourself and make me laugh so hard?
ReplyDeleteTwo great dresses and a rockin' scooter to boot! So... your youngest son disowned you? My oldest did me, until he realized he was the one being a complete and total arse! I'll check out the site.
ReplyDeleteYou look great. Glad you are back posting. I missed you.

Any article of clothing that can be purchased for $7.50 is a great bargain. Incredible for a dress and they look good too.
