Ask any petite girl why shopping can be a struggle and she’ll give you a list as long as your arm.

While the selection for pint-size ladies has certainly come a long way, the struggle can get very real when you’re on the hunt for something specific or have a tight deadline to meet. And even though petite options are out there, sometimes they just don’t fit quite the way that they should.

Whether you’re tall or short, pear shaped or have an hourglass figure, the fact remains that we all want our clothes to look good and fit us well. Last year I had the opportunity to try out custom-made fashion by eShakti and I couldn’t have been happier with the final product (see it here). So when they recently reached out again, of course I couldn’t pass on having a dress made to my specific measurements, ensuring a flawless fit every time.

The process is easy, straightforward, and quick. You simply select the style of garment you’re interested in, input your personal measurements, indicate your height, and then customize certain details of the cut such as neckline, sleeve type or hem length. Each time that I’ve ordered, the fit has been spot-on and the quality of fabric and construction second-to-none. So far I’ve only ordered dresses, but pants, rompers and jumpsuits are definitely on my wishlist for the summer, and are probably the most difficult items for petite girls to find because they require a really good fit.

If you haven’t tried custom yet, I would highly suggest trying it out – and at such a reasonable price-point there’s really nothing to lose!
