I found this website on a blog yesterday and I'm already trying to pick what I want! This company has all these standard designs, and you can buy them in off-the-rack sizes, but then for $15 more you can also give them your measurements (bust, waist, etc.) *and* make adjustments if you want (like if you want the hem longer or shorter, sleeves longer or shorter, different neckline, etc.) Sounds like a godsend to me - my body is difficult to fit off-the-rack and the prices are not too bad - way better than getting something custom-made at a tailor or something.

I can't seem to get images to post but these are the things I'm looking at:






(btw I signed up for the email newsletter and they sent me a discount code, so if you want to purchase from them I'd suggest you sign up first)

Has anyone shopped here before?

Cute pieces. Love the last dress and the checkered top. Prices aren't bad either.

I'll let you guys know - I *was* going to get myself a payday treat, but the two blouses I linked to up there are suddenly "temporarily out of stock" Ugh!

They actually contacted me a couple weeks ago because of my blog!  They thought I'd like their stuff because it is very anthro-esque, and they were right.  They're sending me a free dress ( I got to pick it) and asked me to review it on my blog, so I'll let you guys know how I like it.  I'm super excited!

I've been stalking that site myself, it seems like lately they are getting more modern and stylish. I googled and found some very mixed reviews. Some people say their items fit perfectly and others say it was 1-2 sizes off even though they used the custom sizing. Returns and customer service didn't seem to help either. The prices aren't bad though, especially with a coupon it may be worth it. Let us know if you do buy and how it works out!

Here are some items Ive got my eye on:

OK, I bought the Ikat top (http://www.eshakti.com/clothpdpage.asp?catalog=Clothes&cate=blouses&productid=CL0018527&pcat=) and it just came the other day. I'm going to return it.

First of all, it was a lot more...modest...than I had expected. The necklace just came up way higher than I expected it to. It it just sort of looked dowdy. But maybe that's the fault of the style I got, because I have seen a few bloggers in their dresses and they didn't look so dowdy.

It did fit me well in my bust, which is the whole reason I wanted to get custom clothing in the beginning, but it is way too tenty around my waist. But I think my biggest problem was the sleeves. They weren't cute puffy cap sleeves like in the picture (I did specify that I wanted the sleeves "as shown" and I double-checked my order to make sure I had marked that correctly). They were just these big baggy sleeves that went halfway down my upper arm. I think they put the wrong sleeve style on this or something because it looks nothing like the picture.

I can return it, but they won't refund the customization costs. I had a $15 discount code that I got when I signed up for their newsletter, and the customization cost is $15, so I'm hoping that I will just get all my money back. But I guess we'll see.
