It's dress weather (with an eShakti giveaway - CLOSED)


I have had this eShakti dress for several months now. I was just waitin' on a place to wear it! A place free from snow preferably. Now that I'm out of hibernation, the opportunity to wear this lovely dress presented itself this past weekend when we went to visit my husband's cousin and her family.



My little girl snapped some photos for me in their picturesque rural yard. What I like most about this dress is that it works pretty much anywhere - from a work meeting to a weekend jaunt in the city to a casual dinner with friends.



Let me tell you, when you have a 9-year-old photographer who just wants to get on the trampoline, the photo shoot is over pretty quickly.

eShakti sells custom dresses at great prices. My dress is made from quality fabric, plus it's fully lined, with pockets. Pick a style, send off your measurements and pretty soon you'll have your own custom dress. Sign up for their newsletter because eShakti has great specials too (like buy two, get one free and stuff like that).

A note for Canadians: I ordered two dresses on one occasion and was surprised by the amount of duty I had to pay at the door (about 50% of the overall cost). Even so, I took advantage of a sale, and I ended up paying just over $100 total for two lovely dresses (with duty).

If you have a moment, visit eShakti now and tell me which dress is your favourite. They have great options for summer weddings too.

Win a $50 gift card from eShakti!


Residents of Canada and the U.S. can enter to win a $50 gift card from eShakti using the rafflecopter below until June 9th. Exciting! But what's even better is that the gift card can be used over and above any other discount code or promotional offer. It can even be used along with the new customer registration gift coupon of $25! If you simply can't wait and you must build your spring/summer wardrobe right now, register and get $25 off your first order at www.eShakti.com. Good luck!

    This is difficult to pick just one! Though I think I'd get the most use out of the tie-neck cotton poplin dress, any of the colours. I need summer dresses, so now I guess I just have to save up. I like that they have almost-retro styles, too, for much less than the brand names.
