The Girl in the Red Dress

I was contacted by eShakti to do a review on a piece of their clothing.  This was my first ever request, so of course I was like, absolutely!!!  eShakti is an online retailer that offers custom tailoring on their pieces.  This allows women to make preferences according to their fit/style, etc.  I honestly could not make a choice of which item I wanted to personalize.  I knew I wanted a dress, but there were so many adorable options, it took me a while to decide.  Go check out all their options!!  You can also see their items on FB & Pinterest.

Honestly, I try to stay away from strapless dresses.  I don’t know what it is, but they just do not look flattering on me.  However, I’m so naturally drawn to the strapless….I love all of them.  So, I thought I would take a chance on this little red dress.  First, I just love the polka-dots.  Second, I really don’t have much red in my closet.  Since the big chunky necklaces are so on-trend right now, I thought this may be a good addition to making the strapless look better on me.



The ordering process was super easy.  All you have to do is put in your standard size and height.  I chose to keep the neckline the same, but I changed the length to right above the knee.  I think this makes the dress a little more versatile, rather if it was super short.  I was super impressed by the boning and fabric that helped this dress stay in place.  No pulling this bad boy up all the time :)



Another thing I loved about the dress are the pockets.  How cute are these?!



And lastly, I love the detail in the back with the faux-buttons.  It adds so much instead of having just plain material in the back.  So cute!!



And because I feel ridiculous for having an entire post of pictures of me….I decided to add a couple of fun ones.  The picture above is me doing my “gone-with-the-wind-fabulous” twirl.  Gotta love you some crazy RHOA!




And lastly, this is my “I’m getting pretty hot and it is very sunny out / I don’t know what other faces to make any more besides smiling.”  Seriously, I have no idea how you fashion bloggers do it! 

So, thanks so much if you made it through this post.  I apologize all these pictures are of me…next time I’ll bring Brutus to the photo shoot for some variability!
