Win $40 Gift Card for Women’s Custom Clothing

On Christmas Day we are giving away a $40 gift card courtesy of eShakti.com. They sell affordable women’s custom made clothing in pants, coats, dresses, skirts, shirts and much more. Their size range is great from size 0-26.

I recently was given the opportunity to get a free item on their website for see how their ordering process works. I chose this coat:

Here is my honest review. I thought the coat fit perfectly. The measuring process was easy and in the comment section I was even able to tell them the exact length I wanted. After getting this coat, I probably would have chosen a different style as the collar was a bit large and doesn’t lay down quite flat. I will fix this by adding a snap. I like that it is lined inside. The wool is not as heavy as I would have like as I live in Colorado and it’s pretty cold here. I also would have liked to have some pockets. I thought the sewing and seaming are high quality. Overall I am pleased and will use this as a dress coat for church and other dressy occasions (when it’s not below zero outside). I ordered the custom made coat and it came to my house by UPS and arrived exactly 7 days after I ordered it. I was impressed at the speed.
