Eshakti dress (Without sleeves)

So here it is, the gorgeous eShakti dress without its sleeves. I cut the sleeves off myself and tidied up the seams, it wasn't too difficult. What do you think?


My sewing job wasn't 100% perfect but I tend to wear shrugs or cardigans with these kinds of dresses anyway, especially this time of year, so I'm not too worried. Also, I forgot to mention the other day that this dress has pockets, which always makes me love a dress so much more!


I couldn't resist teaming it with this lace-trimmed cardigan that I thrifted ages ago. Maybe it's lace overload, but I like it!

I wanted to tell you guys about the lovely email that they sent me to thank me for my review of this dress. They said, "we truly appreciate the time you have taken in putting the review together. We also like the fact that you were very honest with your shopping experience."

That was such a relief to hear, I hate the idea of being rude about something that somebody gave me but being honest with you guys when something isn't what I expected is very important to me.

On the subject of those sleeves they said, "We sincerely regret to note that the sleeves weren't to your expectation. Have raised it up with the Design team here to see how best we can service those customers that opt for sleeves on sleeveless garments." So that's good news.

I can see this dress being a wardrobe favourite now I've altered it!
