There are only a few things that will get me out from behind my camera, and a new dress is one of them. I absolutely love my retro poplin shirtdress. It is simple, feminine, and quite possibly the most comfortable dress I’ve ever owned. This is because I had it made to my exact measurements.
I also added a longer length, short sleeves instead of cap sleeves, and pockets.
The skirt is super full and flowy. It is just so fun to wear!
So there you go. This is me, and now I will go back behind the camera and bombard you with crafty photos and photos of my kids until I have another darling dress to share 😉
My dress is from eShakti and every item on their site is customizable. You can purchase each dress, shirt, or skirt “as shown” or tweak it to fit your style.
was knee-length and had cap sleeves “as shown”. It was darling! I added some length since I am tall and added short sleeves, but I think I would have loved the cap sleeves too.
As a new customer you automatically get $25 off of any item just by signing up for the newsletter.  Today I am giving two readers a $25 gift card that you can use ON TOP of any other discount code. Combine it with the original $25 off and that’s $50 off any item! My dress was $59.95. That’s a $9.95 dress, completely customized since you also get free customization with your first order ($7.95 normally)!
So even if you don’t win one of the gift cards, you are still well on your way to an amazingly comfortable dress for a steal. With hundreds of styles to choose from, and so many new arrivals, I may never order a dress from another company again. Most dresses in my closet are knit because it’s an over-all easy fit dress. Forgiving and stretchy if it doesn’t fit just right. I’m loving this tailored look and feel of a truly customized dress though.

Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
I think the dress you did was perfect, I dont think I would change a thing!
What a cool site! I love the Floral Embellished Toole Dress!
You look wonderful in your dress. I think I would go with the Olivia dress!
I really love this idea! So many more (modest) options for the mormon girl! I really like the High-low hem stretch crepe maxi dress but would get it with elbow sleeves. But You’re dress is so classy, I kind of just want to copy you and do the same dress.
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how many adorable dresses they have. I really like the Chelsea dress. It’s pretty simple but super cute.
I love this idea! Really fun to look at this site! I think I would choose the Chelsea dress. It’s hard to only pick one!
I like the her fifties poplin skirt.
It’s almost overwhelming how many great dresses are on their site! I’m loving the tux front lace, but I also love the vintage cotton poplin. I don’t know how I’ll decide, but I’ll definitely need to order!
I would take pretty much any of the dresses!!!! Yours is classic and I would love it in cap sleeves and knee length (I’m shorter)
I love the Floral jacquard wrap style dress.
Brandy, this site is awesome! I love, love, love the Bird applique banded stripe dress and the Knot front jersey knit dress.
I love the embellished tulle overlayer denim dress. It’s darling!!!
Oh my gosh! I can’t choose I had 10 dresses in my cart. I love the dresses though. They look so comfy and you can make them modest! Score!
So many great options. I love the color block checkered dress but really who could choose just one.
Oh my goodness there are so many I love, I especially loved the block dress.
The Chelsea Dress looks like it would be fantastic for any occasion 🙂
The chambray denim dress
I really like the Illusion deer embellished tulle dress. It’s very pretty!
Brandy,
I don’t know which dress I would order but if I would win I would use it towards a dress for my daughter. Love the dress you ordered Brandy.

LOVE this site; my top picks in fantasy shopping for my daughter getting ready to serve a full-time LDS mission to Portugal: skater style cotton knit dress ($64.95) or Beau belle chambray blouse ($49.95); and for me, the crazy-artist mom: the landscape print colorblock ponte dress ($79.95).
Congratulations to your daughter, how wonderful! These would make lovely mission dresses!
How do you choose one?! I love so many of them. I really like the Floral Embellished Poplin one, though. Perfect for fall.
I love your dress but I also love the Ponte knit fit and flare dress. It would be great for the Holidays!
Thanks for the chance! 🙂 I’d use it on the Landscape print cold shoulder top.
WOW, thank you for sharing! I had to make my own wedding gown because I can never find a dress that fits me right!! I just love the Cowl neck stretch velvet dress! There are so many great choices. I even sent them an email tonight to see if they make recommendations so one picks the correct dress style for their body. I can’t wait to hear back from them!!
Love the knot front jersey knit dress in black
I love so many of the styles! Ellen dress in Prussian Blue is beautiful. Thanks for your great site!
I love the Vintage denim chambray dress!
