I'M SORRY EVERYONE I'M JUST REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT PRETTY DRESSES FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS THEM....
having a dress that ACTUALLY FITS was my lifechanging moment of "oh shit... fashion is a thing I CAN PARTICIPATE IN TOO instead of just watching sadly"
also
eshakti dresses
have
pockets.
anyway https://www.sweetdisabled.com/sweetdisabled/recs-eshakti is the more thorough love letter i wrote to them, 10/10 highly recommend go get yourself a kickass pretty dress
@wigglytuffitout most fem people I've known have made it clear how much of a pain finding clothes with pockets is for them. This looks like a super rad company for obtaining functional and fitting dresses. Super neat!
@Anarkat honestly i may be over the top evangelical about eshakti but like.
it's quality shit. custom made. you can choose the length, you can choose the sleeve type, you can choose the neckline... AND IT HAS POCKETS. BIG POCKETS!
and they're honestly not super expensive. yes, fast fashion does it cheaper, but if i want a nice dress i can go to macy's and be frustrated to tears and still get something for 70 dollars... or.... i can go to eshakti and get something that WORKS for 70 bucks.
@Anarkat (and honestly it's the sam vimes boots theory of economic fairness at work a bit, but eshakti makes great wardrobe builder pieces. totally worth saving up for.)
@wigglytuffitout oh, I definitely get that. Functional and quality goods are big for me.
I just got some new boots that I can even rehash the boots theory of inequality with.
So, my old boots cost aground $200. They fit really well, and came with really good tread, didn't have any problems slipping. They had glued soles, though, and so when the tread wore out, I had to give up on them, even though they fit perfectly. So I bought $300 pair with sewn soles that can be retreaded for only $100.
@Anarkat oh man i fucking know that feeling, being the broad-shouldered bih i am. honestly eshakti is totally worth saving up for and trying out, i fuckin love those dresses.
@wigglytuffitout and with how awesome you at they are, I might finally get into some fem clothes. Every time I try I'm stymied by my broad shoulders/chest. It's like trying to fit a traffic cone over a stump.
