“I very much wish you could search by garment number...”

Maryellen V.
4/3/24

I very much wish you could search by garment number AND fabric number. For example, I wanted to purchase a blouse in addition to the dress I was buying today. I purchased this same blouse previously and loved it. So I wanted to buy it again but with a new pattern/fabric. I found the blouse right away but could not find the fabric from a dress you are currently promoting. By the time I did scroll through I had already made my purchase and decided to save money and skip it. Maybe another time.

Top Critical Review

“Horrid communication, poor customer service, and inability to meet orders.”

sofya p.

I am thoroughly disappointed with this company. Twice now my orders have not been processed in a timely manner, there has been no communication of delays or an apology for failing to produce the ordered items in the timeline they originally specified. To add insult to injury, 2.5 months later, 2 phone calls, and 3 emails later, still no refund or verification of order cancellation. They are basically taking your money without filling your orders. Stay away!

11/5/23 ordered 2 items, but received only 1 on 12/28/23. Several emails and Better Business Bureau contacts later, I still have not received the item or a refund. BTW, Eshakti did tell the BBB that they would refund my money—as of today,2/16/24, I have received nothing. From reviews and different social media posts, it is obvious there has been a decline in the company's quality of product and service. They lost a customer.

I love Eshakti dresses! I took off a star because I know I have a wait time ahead. I wish I would get an estimated time during checkout instead of a general statement in the fine print.

Reason I chose this business:

The quality of the clothes and the ability to customize

From the fit to the quality, I LOVE IT! The dress is better than I expected. I cannot think of a clothing/department store that would have this dress for the price I paid—it would be triple the amount if not more. Thank you Eshakti, for the quality work. You've earned a loyal customer!

I ordered a white non-customized blouse one month ago for a special event with expected delivery in 15-19 day. There has been no response to emails or phone calls. The money, however, was taken out of my bank account the day after my order was submitted. I will never order from this company again nor refer it to any friends. Extremely disappointed.

Tip for consumers:
Item not delivered on time - still not received - customer service emails and phone calls not returned. Money, however, taken from my bank account the same day as the order was placed.

Ordered as my mother-of-the-bride gown (for Oct. 2022). First time ordering from eShakti... I was nervous but so glad I took the chance! I cannot believe I could personalize the styling, received gown within 2 weeks and it was PERFECT! *I did not do customized fit; I chose a size from the sizing chart and gave my height.

Reason I chose this business:

Great first time experience!

Reason I chose this product:

Excellent quality of fabric. Looks far more expensive the price paid.

I have not received a response to multiple emails and voice-mails requesting an update on an order that was supposed to be delivered on 2/16/24. I've ordered items in the past without an issue but cannot get any assistance with my order. I am contacting my bank to dispute the charges. This is very frustrating. You've lost a customer. This is unprofessional and unacceptable. This is theft. I'm very disappointed.

I placed an order for 3 dresses, received confirmation they were to arrive no later than December 23,2023. As of today, Jan 25,2024, I still do not have my order. I've called eShakti's customer service numerous times, always have to leave a message; I've also emailed their CS numerous times. The only response I received was from "Diana" who stated they were experiencing fabric flaws - she did not give me any time frame as to when I'd receive my order. I do not recommend ordering anything from this company EVER!

I really like the quality and even customer service from eShakti. I ordered my wedding dress from them, it came about 99% of the way to fitting, so just needed a little help from our local tailor. But, I ordered a shirt from them in the fall. Not a custom size, just a standard size. It was too large so I returned it. They received the return in mid-December and now here at the end of February I have yet to receive a refund. So, while I appreciate their clothing, this is unacceptable.

I ordered 2 clothing items totaling $174.80 they never arrived and when I contacted the company they said it's because the fabric was on back order so I waited another month before I contacted them again to cancel and refund me. They said that they would - that was a long time ago, they will not return my emails or phone calls - they are thieves! Don't buy from them they steal!

I placed an order in Oct that wasn't delivered until 3 months later. It was of unacceptable quality and not made according to my specifications. I was told it would be reworked and the correct garments sent, but in mid February, I'm still waiting. EShakti has stopped communicating with me. I used to love this company but they are not going to have my business or recommendation going forward

The styles I have chosen are very basic… shift, empire, and shirtdress (straight hem). I love that the material is 100 % cotton, particularly poplin. The quality is very nice. Although, I'd like to see solid, rich tones…amber, brown, deep purple. They're customer service is very friendly and helpful, especially when I ordered 2 different sizes… I like to wear loose fitting clothes. They contacted me to make sure I wanted the 2 sizes. However, the shipping charges are a little high. Great product.

Reason I chose this business:

Nice styles… would like more choices in fabric (I know there is a customization option). I try to keep the price reasonable as this is an added charge.

Reason I chose this product:

I have mentioned before…beautiful product and finish. I just live that they carry poplin… love to see ramie cotton ( basic dress) in solids!

E Shakti claimed that the material for my dress did not arrive. I learned by enquiring myself a week before my special event. No refund was ever given despite assurances.
This is not legal.

My product took three months to ship and once it was marked as shipped, it said it would be 10-14 business days. I am still waiting and it's now April (almost 4 months since I ordered) and I have still not received the product. According to tracking it has been delivered. We live in a safe area and have cameras. Nothing ever came. I have reached out via phone and email and haven't heard a word. I'm out over $70 for nothing.

I placed a multi item order back in November. When I contacted the company in January to ask about the order they said that there were fabric issues. I asked for a refund (some of the pieces were for the holidays), and while it was granted I still have no notice of the refund or the money back to how I paid. I have purchased from them for years- no more. Awful service.

My custom ordered dress fit perfectly with the new neckline, sleeves, and length I chose. When I contacted customer service about alternate fabrics available, they quickly and kindly found two other fabric choices for me. In the end, I chose the original navy fabric. It is a beautiful dress.

It's not always comfortable ordering online from an unknown vendor, but eShakti seems to be the real deal. I've heard good things from others, and my first purchase from them arrived quickly, and was of very high quality - great fabric, beautifully made, and well packaged.

This company has gone down the tubes. I ordered a dress in December and never received it and when i ask for a refund crickets. No one is replying or updating me with anything. It had been a few years since I ordered from them and I never experienced this type of horrible experience. I just Googled and see that I'm not alone. I don't know what happened but DO NOT order from this company anymore. There has been no transparency about what has happened and we the customers are being ripped off. So VERY disappointing.

Just excellent! Quality clothing for real women affordably and stylish!
April 12th, 2018
• Previous review

I cannot say enough good things about the quality of EShakti clothing. In a time when clothing is made cheaply and without regard to real women bodies, EShakti is a breath of fresh air! I used to be a style consultant and it is clothing like these dresses and the customization I wished my clients had access to. I am 6 feet tall so saying I need customization is an understatement :) I just ordered my 2nd custom dress and it looks amazing and I feel awesome in it. Perfect length, quality cotton fabric, attention to detail, proper seams--oh my! Love love love.
I have 2 suggestions for even more improvement?!) Is there a way to pay extra to have clothes come pressed and ready to wear? They are usually quite wrinkled when they arrive whether it is knit or cotton. 2) I would love more color/print choices as I am very picky about colors I wear. Sometimes I love a design but it does not come in a color or print that flatters me and I have to pass :( Keep up the GREAT quality craftsmanship! You cannot get custom tailoring at these prices and at this quality. Thank You!. A Fan!

The quality of this dress is WOW. The price was even more unbelievable. I have found my forever formal gown site. I'm so incredibly happy with this company. Also, the fitting was spot on.

My only grievance would be that eShakti doesn't ship to APO/FPO. That's a shame because so many spouses need formal gowns for the military balls/events.

Super quick and amazing customer service

Risky to deal with. No order. No refund. No customer service. I have basically lost my money.

In my case I placed an order. After two months, production on the order hadn't started. I requested to cancel the order and was told by email I would receive a refund. That is when the problem started. No goods. No refund. No customer service. Currently I am in fourth month since ordering and have not received a refund. I am also getting no response from the "customer champions". I have basically lost my money at this point.

Tip for consumers:
Ordering from this site is a risk . You may receive the goods but if you don’t getting a refund is impossible. Don’t rely on the stated production times.

A really enjoyable experience from start to finish. The customization options are a lifesaver to ensuring that the dress both has good fit and is exactly what you want, and there are so many pretty clothes to choose from! I was so excited to receive my dress, made to my measurements, and it did not disappoint. Fits well and looks awesome!

Reason I chose this business:

Easy and fun, everything was explained well with plenty of pictures.

Reason I chose this product:

Quality is fantastic, especially for the price! The fit was just as I specified with my measurements and it looks great.

I have used eShakti for more than 10 years on a regular basis. As a plus size woman it is hard to find any clothes I like let alone quality made clothing. Being big I am hard on my clothes and have often had store bought items get holes in places I can not hide. EShakti has been great until the last year. I am waiting 3 or more months for clothes to arrive. What is the point of ordering a summer dress if it is winter when it arrives?
As an experienced client I will agree you have to be very careful about fabrics and know what works on your body. Some of the items are really cheap looking.

I don't usually fit standard dress sizes, so it has been a blessing to find eShakti and have dresses made that actually fit me! I also really appreciate the option of modifying the neckline, sleeve length and hem length. I'm in a job where I have to stand, sit on stools, squat, bend over, etc and yet still look nice, so I need that flexibility of neckline, length and sleeve length to find dresses for work. Thank you eShakti!

I placed an order for 2 dresses. I received a message from eShakti that there is a backorder on one of the fabrics. I requested to cancel the order and receive a refund.

The original delivery date was more than 2 months ago. I have now waited 1 month for a refund with NO RESPONSE from eShakti. The phone number does not work and they have NOT responded to more than 2 emails I have sent to follow up on my refund.

The customer service is deplorable. If you need anything regarding order status, they will ignore you until you get to the point where you initiate a dispute with your credit card company. Then surprise, they all of a sudden see your emails! Don't trust a merchant who can't provide minimal customer service/support. Like, where is my order? When will I receive it? How come the status of my order hasn't changed in three weeks? Am I going to get my item by the time you indicated? Hello? Anybody there? Do I need to cancel? I'm getting nervous because now I'm not even sure you're real.

In this age of online ordering, not being able to update a customer about their order status, especially when you are so behind in processing orders with poor operations that you might as well just be making dates up! Just be real and tell the customer "Hey, thanks for the money. We'll get you your stuff when we get around to it maybe, I dunno, your guess is as good as ours, can't make any promises, yeah, hope you're a risk-taker because it's like rolling dice with us and DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?!?!" or just seriously don't even bother.

I ordered two dresses in Aug but it's almost Nov and I've not received them yet. First query they said it was an issue with the material for the dress. Waited some weeks nothing still, asked again, said it was ready for shipping and I would get an alert very shortly. Waited another few weeks still nothing. Asked for update no other communication at all. No offer of refund or any other explanation. Not even sure how I can even request a refund now. Complete no communication for a few weeks now.
