AND IT HAS POCKETS

in marketing done right

Random stranger: I love your dress.

me:  Thank you!

*don’t say it*

IT HAS POCKETS!

***

This is me every damn day and if you’ve ever seen me at a reading you’ve probably watched me do this exact thing.  Then I say that I got the dress at eShakti and other people in the audience say, “OMG I love them!  POCKETS!” and then I say that they really should sponsor me.  And then, YEARS later, they reached out and said, “We heard you love us.  Want us to sponsor you?” and finally my long game has paid off.  So keep reading because you need to know about them and also because they’re going to give away gift cards on this post.  WHOOP.  EVERYONE WINS.

Here’s what you need to know about eShakti if you’re new to it: It’s a website that gives you a ton of different designs that you can customize yourself.  You can change the sleeves or the collar or the length.  Almost every dress has pockets.  POCKETS.  I usually spend less than $60 per outfit and the clothes last forever.  I literally have 50 eShakti dresses that I’ve collected over the last 10 years and they are all still in great shape.

Secret hints from me:  The best thing for me about eShakti clothes (besides the pockets) is that you can search for clothes by material, which is great because anything that is crepe, georgette or chiffon will not wrinkle even if stuffed in a bag for a week, pet fur won’t stick to those materials, and they don’t have to be dry-cleaned.  (The chambray dresses are also great, but they aren’t quite as wrinkle-free.)  The sizing is very accurate but if you want to pay extra you can have it made specifically for your measurements.  For comparison, I’m wearing a standard 14 in these pictures:

Dog not included.
Does this dress come with a cape? Yes. Capes are coming back. In this house, at least.  (Also, I added cap sleeves to both of these dresses because I hate my arms.)

The only downside is that it takes a week or two to get your customized outfits but personally I sort of love that because I forget I ordered something and it’s like a surprise gift from me.  And if your outfit doesn’t work it’s super easy to return.  Just put the outfit in the box it came in and stick the postage sticker that came inside the box on it and drop it in the mail.  Also, sometimes if you give feedback on your purchases they’ll send you gift cards or promos.

Today if you are a new customer you get 33% off your first order and if you put JENNIFERLAWSON in the referral/gift coupon space when you check out you’ll also get $15 off.  And a bunch of you will be randomly selected to win gift cards for eShakti if you leave a comment below.   (I’ll email you the codes directly if you win so no worries about me giving out your email to anyone else.)

So go check them out because I super love them.

POCKETS!

I’ve literally never worn this dress anyplace other than my own house but it makes me feel fancy as fuck and cat fur and pop tart crumbs don’t stick to it.  AND IT HAS POCKETS.

  1. I NEED that black dress! Do they still sell it? It would be the PERFECT dress for the Air Force Ball I’m attending in a few weeks!

  4. You look fabulous! I’ve been creeping on the website for styles I’d like to try but I did not realize the pocket game was 🔥

  5. Those are gorgeous! And pockets! Pocketes for my precious!!!

    More than want. NEED!

  6. Pockets!!! Love love love eshakti. And can’t not say it either… POCKETS! 😬😅

  7. I have to wait for Christmas to get new clothes and I usually spring for new bras. 50 a pop for bras means I’m clearance racked year round. I do love this site though, very good to hear there clothes last. That’s so so important for someone like me.

  9. I am going to look soo good at work or wherever, living room probably. But sooo good.

  13. Bah. Wrote a longer post about how much I love them but I don’t think it posted so instead I will just say that they are my favorite clothing company. The ability to customize is unbelievable

  16. This just gave me the motivation to finally place an order with them. I keep going to the site and I’m so overwhelmed with the gorgeous choices that I can’t choose and give up! That changes now. 🙂 And I’ve decided never to buy a dress without pockets again, dammit!

  17. Love all those dresses! I have a few dresses from there. They’re all from before I lost a ton of weight but I’ve held on to them to see if I can get them refitted with a local tailor. I love the fit and flare style and that red polka dot dress is amazing. I may need to order that one for me too. I’m also the same when it comes to the pockets, lol. It’s always the second thing I say when I get a compliment on one of the dresses: “Thanks! It has pockets!” A girl needs pockets – for her phone but also her hands when she doesn’t know what to do with them 🙂

  18. This sounds like the PERFECT place to order my (somewhat near) future wedding dress!! I’m super picky AND want something non-traditional. And lilac. So ya know, impossible. Fingers and toes crossed for a gift card. 🤞🏻

  19. And I love how you can put in your measurements but also adjust the length, sleeves, etc on eShakti! I’m quite tall, so making the dress a bit longer if needed is great.

  20. I am super jealous of all of your dresses, but especially the one with the cape!!! Plus, POCKETS!!! I have a few of their dresses and a couple tops, and they’re great! I haven’t ordered anything recently, but I check the website every so often so I don’t miss anything. One thing people should keep in mind is to build in some ease when taking your measurements to find your size. I didn’t when I first ordered from them, and the poplin dress I ordered was skin tight. Ooops. I was so sad when I realized it was sold out, so people should learn from my mistake!

  21. I LOVE this company and their pockets. I had my eye on that one with the cape!!! You look amazing in them all 😍

  22. I’ve never heard of them before! But seriously, pockets + dresses = the very best thing ever.

  25. Thanks to you I bought my wedding dress today!Customized to my measurements AND with pockets for under $100.

  26. Thanks to you I bought my wedding dress today! Customized to my measurements AND with pockets for under $100.

  28. I just got my latest order today and I’m already shopping. I love eShakti so much.

  30. I love your black dress so much and really want to get to know eShakti! It all sounds really fun!!! 🙂❤️✌️🙋‍♀️

  32. all two of my eshakti dresses were presents from my mom, and are in my top 10 outfit options at all times. literally the BEST.

  33. Im a timbercruiser and Im okay, but I dont wear high heels in the woods…but I would wear a pair with one of those dresses on a night out on the town!

    AND IT HAS POCKETS> LIKE FOR COMPASSES AND BUG REPELLENT!

  35. I’ve always wondered about them bc I see their ads frenemy. All your dress are SUPER DUPER CUTE!

  36. I’ve been eyeing these for ages! It’s good to know they are good quality too. Also, yesterday I heard a man mention that his PAJAMAS have pockets, and so I’m burning it all down. What, he needs his bus pass to go to bed?

  38. This is how I wanted to feel about LuLaRoe… but it didn’t work for me. I’ll give this one a try!

  40. i love eshakti, but i haven’t gone back since a bad return experience many years ago. i should try again because pocketssss!

  43. Absolutely gorgeous, Jenny, and I LOVE that they have pockets – my biggest frustration ever with women’s wear. I can’t afford anything now, but I will keep them in mind for when I can. You look lovely as always – so glad the long game is paying off! <3

    Hope you are taking care of yourself. <3

  44. I’d love to try them–I’ve been hearing great things about them for years, and never got around to measuring myself…

  45. I’m so glad you posted this. I always see their ads in my FB feed and it seems too good to be true.

  46. Those dresses are gorgeous!!! You look like you are living your best Stevie Nicks fantasy with that cape too! I love love LOVE those maxi dresses with the 3/4 sleeves (gotta hide my bingo wings!). I have one of their dresses and I get compliments every time I wear it, especially when I say that it has pockets!!

  48. Amazing!! I’ve been dying to know how this company is and have almost ordered several times. Very cute!! Pockets are a must for me!

  49. Love them! My bridesmaids all had dress from them…with pockets!!! The best part was the dresses could be used later by them and not rot in a closet somewhere!

  51. You do a great job of wearing clothes that fit your body type, girl. Cap sleeves help give you a really sweet hourglass figure.

  52. Oh my goodness. Those dresses are gorgeous! I clicked the very first link before I even realized it was a sponsor-thing (that first picture with the polka-dot dress really caught my attention!). Looks like they are too expensive for my budget (I literally haven’t spent more than $20 on an outfit in years), but I’m going to browse their site anyways because POCKETS! lol

  54. Literally was checking them out yesterday. Love the IRL pics. Wear that ball gown everywhere!

  55. I ~litchrully~ picked out a dress from there last night that I need for a gala in October. It is EXACTLY what I’ve been hunting for, so… 🤞🤞🤞

  56. Yes!!!! I need a dress for an upcoming wedding. Headed there now to check out the options! 😘

  57. I’ve bought one dress for them and I absolutely loved it! Sadly I’ve gained too much weight since then and it no longer fits (it was custom made), but I am absolutely going to check them out again and see if I can find something new. I love a good dress with pockets!!

  58. I love pockets! I recently got super cute sweat pants with 3 pockets. It’s the little things.

  59. Omg the cape!! I’ve looked at eShakti a couple times- so much to choose from!

  62. Wow, these are so pretty. I’d love to wear more dresses; I’ll have to look into this!

  63. Wow, these dresses are amazing! So many comments here, even the comments have comments! We all deserve to be and look this fabulous every day. ❤️🌟🙌

  65. Just put in my first order! Can’t wait! Your dresses are always so cute and you look great! And really, who DOESN’T love pockets!!

  67. I love them ALL. I have wanted to try them forever and was hesitant but you are inspiring me.

  68. Congratulations! I, too, love their dresses and pocketses and stock my local thrift stores for castoffs to adopt.

  70. Oh..I need this gift card. I have a dress from eShakti that I need to order for my daughter’s wedding In October!

  71. I really wanted a wedding dress with pockets, but all of the girls with me at the bridal shop said no. Like I’d walk down the aisle with my hands in them. Psshhh. I’d have only put one hand in a pocket, I had to carry the bouquet somehow.

  74. Congratulations on winning the long game and earning this sponsorship! I’ve been convinced you’re awesome for I’ve lost track of how many years now, but it’s longer than I’ve been convinced eShakti is awesome, if only because I only heard about them a few years ago, because medical debt means I don’t shop much which means advertisers don’t bother with me much….BUT….if I had money (or enough luck to win), I would totally love to find out how right I am about them being awesome too, because OMG I haven’t been able to shop for myself since before having my kid 14 years ago except for trying to get lucky at thrift stores and no matter how many times I get lucky in other ways it doesn’t seem to count as exercise and I can’t get back to my pre-mommyhood size and so alas for all those lovely things that were clothes that were totally ME and not just clothes on me because for some reason you can’t show up to IEP meetings naked and have them take you seriously and annnnyyyyway the idea of being able to actually customize style and fabric and cut and size and all that AND FREAKING POCKETS is possibly slightly too exciting for my health and and and….I’m kinda babbling, huh?

    Did that post? My computer is borking. I’ll try again just in case and pretend I’m not being paranoid that I’m just being annoying.

  77. “These all look great on you!” said the standard size 14 redhead from MN who also loves pockets and polka dots! Really, Bloggess Goddess, you’re rockin’ it.

  80. I’ve bought a few items in the past, although I’ve been way too brokeass recently; there was one particular dress that I was trying to figure out how I could scratch up the money to buy, but unfortunately it’s out of stock now. 🙁 If it comes back, though, I’m going to do my best to get it–it seemed like the kind of dress you could wear when meeting the love of your life. And yes, kids, they wear as well and last as long as Jenny says they do… 🙂

  82. I love eShakti, I get so many compliments and the dresses are so comfy because they are made to my size. Victory! And pockets! Which I feel compelled to say every time, so you are not alone. And the pockets fit phones and keys and all sorts of things, so I don’t have to bring my purse everywhere. Double victory!

  83. Thanks for sharing this! I’ve looked at them several times. I think I’ll finally buy now!

  86. I LOVE eShakti!! I have 5 dresses from them..,all with pockets. I always get compliments when I wear one.

  87. I love everything about this. You look lovely. The dresses are lovely. Dorothy is lovely. Pockets are lovely. This clothing company is lovely. Now I don’t feel so bad about all the stuff in the news.

  88. eShakti made me a dress to wear to prom (I’m a teacher). I loved it and showed everyone the pockets! Pockets are the best! A couple of other chaperones were headed to their website to get their own dresses with pockets.

  89. What an amazing store! I love that I can customize things like the neckline and length! So cool! Thanks for introducing me to these dresses. I hadn’t heard of the brand before.

  94. I remember that post and keep thinking that I need to order something! I love dressed too. I need to tell my mom about this too….

  96. I’ve had a pretty terrible night and I could really use a win so I hope I am able to get a dress with pockets for my upcoming birthday. If not at least I can think back about the time I got to meet you and how lovely you were to everyone. I really appreciate your kindness. I’m glad someone as nice as you has dresses with pockets. 🙂

  98. I’m embarking on a new career this week, and will be awaiting a whole new wardrobe, over the next few months/ years. Am planning on owning severaldresses from this company. Very exciting.

  99. I’ve been thinking about buying from eShakti since drooling over your scallop neck black one…and now they are supporting YOU I am definitely supporting them!!! Yay for discounts and giveaways!

  100. I was Anonymous comment 2097. My phone freaked out and didn’t let me leave my name. Lol

  102. I have never shopped there, but have looked at their website multiple times. I do love pockets.

  103. Yah! I’m so glad they finally reached out to you! You have to be their best spokeswoman. Your dresses always look adorable, and you can’t go wrong if it has pockets.

  105. I’ve been wanting to try out this company for a while. Thanks for giving us promo codes and a chance T free stuff!

  106. Oh my gosh, I love eShakti!! My closet is full and my wallet is empty because of them, but I get so many compliments now =oD

  107. Yay!! I tried the standard size option, which didn’t work for me, but next time I’ll order custom.

  108. Those dresses are all awesome! I can’t wait to try one. I agree about the cap sleeves. Do they come with a cat instead of Dorothy Barker?

  111. I need a new dress for a wedding that’s coming up so I will have to try them out. Also, I’m a teacher so dresses with pockets are a must! Thanks for the tip 🙂

  112. I have 4 dresses (all with pockets!) and a couple of blouses. As a girl with a big rack and smallish waist, having a clothing source that you can customize is priceless! Love them!!!

  119. I sew my own clothes so I can really get behind this kind of customization. Pockets for everyone!

  120. I always worry about buying dresses because I have judgy coworkers.I have seen eShakti a lot, but have always wondered if it was legit and if they have big girl sizes. Now, that they have the Bloggess stamp of approval, I can’t wait to try it out! Big girl sizes and pockets…wooot wooo, I’m gonna look good for Open House!!!!

  122. I sew my own clothes so I can really get behind this kind of customization. Pockets for everyone!

  125. Going to their site now. I have always admired your dresses, and a gift card would be a bonus. Congrats on the sponsorship, I bet they will sell a lot more items due to your enthusiastic comments and beautiful job modeling their items.

  126. ALWAYS mention the pockets! I find that when I do, people are always so enthusiastic! They even sometimes want to continue the conversation so…maybe don’t mention pockets…unless your full up on spoons?

  128. Where have I been? I had never heard of them until now! What great classically beautiful styles and to be able to customize is so great 💕

  129. Gah, I keep meaning to order from them but I keep wussing out but I really should because everyone who has tried them LOVES them. Those are some seriously gorgeous dresses you have on!

  130. Oy! I’m literally sewing a dress right now for my husband’s awards banquet in a few weeks, but I do depressed right now I can’t even see straight. I needed to see this post right now, cause I’m losing my shit. Thanks so much for the extra discount!

  134. I love eShakti. I’m long waisted, and I was actually able to buy a sheath dress with the waist at the right place! And it has pockets! And bra strap keepers!

  135. Okay, FINE. Now I’m ordering because I’ve wanted to forever but didn’t know anyone who had tried their clothes. I’m going to trust that since you mangelesake me laugh and cry, we’ll agree on this.

  136. I have thought about ordering before but this made me do it!!!! You look gorgeous!

  138. Oh these dresses look great, I can’t wait to check them out. We all have insecurities, it’s great to be able to customize a dress to make you feel great. Thanks!

  140. And also! They can make your dress to fit you long torso and your freaky long arms! So I finally have dress that sit at my actual waist and my wrists stay warm!

  141. And also! They can make your dress to fit you long torso and your freaky long arms! So I finally have dress that sit at my actual waist and my wrists stay warm!

  143. Doesn’t wrinkle and dog hair doesn’t stick to it. Sounds like magic. Would love to be in a gift certificate drawing! If anybody reading the comments is also a nursing mother, I’d be curious what sort of design choices are nursing friendly. Been looking for something easy to expand my wardrobe from tights and nursing tops so I can feel a little fancy sometimes 🙂

  144. Love pot lets! I had to jam my stupid phone into my stupid bra today so I wouldn’t miss a text 🙄🙄🙄

  145. I hope they make them in 3xxx size. I want a dress with POCKETS. Yes please!

  146. I adore EShakti! I learned about them from you and I own 3 dresses so far, or is it 4? I’m not sure, and I’m not going upstairs to count them in my closet. Love, love, love them all and having one made for my measurements is SO great! Thank you so much for mentioning them in a previous blog, you’re my hero.

  147. Hi, I totally need to check this out. I’m a big fan of Svaha dresses – science-themed and with pockets too. Looks like they may have competition!

  148. Pockets on dresses are the best. And machine washable? I’ll have to check this out!

  150. Honestly, they have some of the most versatile dresses on the internet. I love them!

  152. Wow! Those dresses are beautiful! I’ve always admired them, but I thought I they were way more expensive. I’ll have to check them out, thanks! 😀

  154. They are so ❤️. I was in doubt about ordering (live in the Netherlands and I have no idea how US sizes work. But this should be a perfect excuse just to take the plunge (in pockets).

  155. OMG! That black dress you are wearing is gorgeous on you! I am coveting it!

  156. It has pocketses! Pockets make everything better. Well, in clothing anyway. 🤪

  157. Yay! I finally purchased one. I’ve checked this site on and off for at least three years. I hope i look as good as you do.

  158. Was waffling on buying an eShakti dress for a wedding. Totally bought it today. Thanks!

  159. They all look so great on you! I’ve been waffling for months on trying eShakti and I think I’m finally convinced. POCKETS.

  162. I’ve always wondered if other people got the eshakti ads or not. I assumed it was an Indian thing since I had lived in India for 2 years. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  163. I have wanted to try eshakti for ages, but honestly, I just don’t have that many places to wear dresses. Clearly this is the first problem I need to fix.

  165. My sister’s bridesmaids dresses were from there and I really liked how easy it was too make a custom dress. I keep thinking I need to get more.

  166. I’ve been drooling over eShakti for a while…it is really tempting to spend part of this week’s paycheck on something tonight. XD

  168. I ended up getting a dress from them for my mom’s funeral, and it was nice to have a flattering dress (WITH POCKETS) during a tough day

  170. Amazing! I love eShakti 🙂 I am waiting to get paid to buy a new shirt from them ♥

  171. Pet fur resistant AND it has pockets?! Sign me up…but not until Friday cause payday.

  174. I have purchased from eShakti before but the person I bought it for never paid me back. 🙁
    That was in 2013 and it bugs me that I still think of it. 😉

  176. I wore my eShakti dress to work today and as always,got compliments. I’d love to get another.

  177. I also find myself blurting out that a dress has pockets… and where I got it from… and “it was on sale”, when someone tries to give me a simple compliment. I have wanted to try eshakti for a long time. I”m a little hard to fit, I like fun dresses, I love customization, and they have so many options that are just so cute. But it’s been years and I stil haven’t done it.

  180. love this! the dresses look great and your happiness shows ☺️
    thanks for the coupon codes – can’t wait to finally try this as it has been on my list for too long!

  182. My sister needs the pockets. She never has her cell phone because of lack of pockets

  183. Oh my goodness! They have dresses to fit my boobs! Thank you for telling us to go look! I’m going to start saving my pennies right now and buy a pretty dress for ME!

  184. You’ve convinced me. Been thinking about ordering a dress from them for a while. Now the decision of which one to get!

  185. Why didn’t I look here for a dress to wear to my daughter’s wedding? Is it too late?!? LOVE THESE DRESSES!!

  186. There’s a business in Australia (where I am) that does pockets in all their dresses too! I think I have a dozen or so. And yes, I tell everyone too.😁

  187. I always love the way you look. I’ve wanted to try eShakti but have held back. With the discounts, I’m going shopping!!! Thanks for sharing and being my fashion icon

  188. You always look great in all your posts! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to look as great as you do!

  190. Well that sucks. With the exchange rate, these become affordable only with the discounts, but! They don’t ship to South Africa. 😭

  194. I LOVE eshakti so much! Stunning designs made to fit, which, when you’re not a standard off-the-rack size and shape (spoiler alert: no one is!) is such a treat. The pockets. Oh lord the pockets are just the best thing ever!

  196. ZOMG! Pockets! would love love love a new dress for my jobinterviews that are coming up.. or just for you know, fun and pockets!

  197. Oh my gosh, it looks like you’ve just swept into the place! Y’know, like ‘Gone with the Wind’!

  198. I’ve been wanting to give them a try and this may be the nudge I needed. I’ve been so defeated clothes shopping, trying to find comfortable clothes that fit all 5’1” of me with my short legs and bubble butt. Dresses with pockets make me happy!

  199. Your dresses always look fabulous. I’ve wanted to try eShakti since you mentioned them months ago so maybe this will motivate me to take measurements (never my favorite thing 😟)

  200. Did someone say gift card? Yes, please. Also, that black dress is fabulous!

  202. I saw this way too late to win, I’m sure but I gotta try bc I love that site and I haven’t bought any yet. It’s so hard to choose!!

  203. You have to have your hands in said pockets and make awkward gestures to others when making them aware of said pockets. That’s the normal girl thing to do. Damn if we don’t love our pockets.

  206. Love, love, love! You and the dresses and the sponsorship and eShakti! I’ve lost almost 50 pounds and can’t wait to get dressed that FIT me!

  207. Wow! I’m strictly a slacks girl but I might even learn to love dresses with a dress like these! Gorgeous!

  208. I love all of your dresses, all of the ti me! you have wonderful taste…and pockets!

  210. I bought an eshakti dress for my mother’s wedding. I love it! Used my own measurements and it fit perfectly. I’d love a few more for work!

    Love love love all the dresses you picked.

  211. I bought my first dress with POCKETS recently and LOVE it! I’m going to check them out! Your dresses are always so cute!

  215. You look great! And the pockets really are the best part. I’d love to try eShakti; I have a hard time finding things I feel good in and think I look good in because I’m chunky.

  217. Amazing! I was just looking at their clothes this week. I would love a gift card to help cover the CAD USD exchange rate

  218. Being happy in the clothes you wear is priceless. If we have to wear clothes, they shouldn’t make us feel awkward or uncomfortable!

  219. You and my daughter share the same level of enthusiasm for pockets. I forwarded this post to he before I even read it!

  220. You look so fucking fucking fancy with your pocketed dresses! How have I never heard of this company before?!?!

  222. I love pockets!! This seems to be exactly what I need! I loath dress buying because I need sleeves, I try to be confident in my own skin but for kids have wrecked that!

  224. Ha! I just made this same comment to some one who liked my dress this weekend…”It has pockets!”. It’s the little things in life, right?

  225. Wow! I’ve considered buying from them before but haven’t taken the plunge. Your dresses look fantastic on you. Thanks for the recommendation and discount codes!

  228. I’ve never heard of this company before! Those dresses are rad and you look beautiful in them!

  229. I have never ordered from eshakto but I browse them often and drool!! The customization is an amazing feature and the pockets make the world more glorious!!

  230. Thanks, I’ve been wanting to try them! ALSO, please tell me that I’m not the only one who almost checked the “Friend/Family” button instead of the “Blogger” button in answer to the survey question “How did you hear about eShakti?”

  234. I would love to try them, I have discovered a love for dresses this past year and branching out to new shops is always a blast!

  235. These are gorgeous!! You look amazing and though I never heard of this brand before I’m pretty sure I’m about to go crazy on their website.

  236. I’m attending a wedding this fall and their dresses might just solve my “what the heck to wear” problem.

  238. OMG gorgeous! I’m going to shop there right now, but I would love to win a gift card too!!!

  240. I love, love, love eShakti! I have at least 10 of their dresses and they’re all so great!

  241. I love the idea of dresses, but I have a long torso and no boobs, so dresses usually look really weird on me. However, a custom type dress might just work, especially if it has pockets!

  242. You have a dress that you only wear at home? You are officially my hero and a goddess.

  243. I love eShakti – the dresses are so comfortable in addition to being customizable and having pockets! Some of the knit ones feel like pajamas, but look great!

  244. I’ve been wanting to try ordering a dress from there! Pockets in dresses is one of my all time favorite things!

  247. I always “window” shop on eShakti – so many options. This may be what helps me push that place in cart button. Thank you!

  252. I’ve never heard of this site before and just spend OMG so long scrolling. Such pretty dresses! And I have a few weddings coming up. 🙂 Thanks!

  257. I love looking at their stuff, but money is tight so I almost never buy new clothes for myself, maybe with this discount I will finally get myself something!

  258. Those are fabulous! And pockets are the best (I literally responded the same way yesterday when a coworker complimented my dress). I’ve been looking at their website for ages, but haven’t bought any yet. Thanks for the notes and coupon code. And fingers crossed for a gift card!

  260. You look fabulous! I recently started wearing dresses due to a dumb condition I have. Pants are a no go usually. I am obsessed with only having dresses with pockets. For women, pockets are life changing.

  261. I have several eShakti dresses, and every time someone says anything about my dress, I cant help but shove my hands in my POCKETS and twirl. You look fabulous !

  262. I have never heard of eShakti before this but I am looking for a rehearsal dinner dress and have already found a bunch I like on this site!

  264. I love these dresses!! I just hope I look half as beautiful in them as you do, Jenny! AND who doesn’t love a beautiful dress with POCKETS?! What do you do with your hands with a pocketless dress…..spontaneously start waving like the Queen!! LOL

  268. Thanks! Stepped out of my comfort zone and treated myself instead of the kids!

  269. Love these dresses, I’ve been dying to try them! You look beautiful in all of them!

  271. I’ve been wanting to try them for a while but stuff keeps happening like giant cross-country moved and I can’t. I’m ready now!!

  275. You look lovely in those dresses – love the polka dots!
    Have wanted to try eShakti but haven’t yet. Maybe this is my chance. Thx!

  276. I love them! Haven’t bought a new dress from them in a while, maybe now’s the time?

  278. I think every dress should have pockets. I need to win this. So I can buy all the dresses.

  280. I LOVE the idea, and I refuse to live my life without pockets anymore, Just not going to do it.

  284. Congrats!!! I’ll be checking them out – I have a corporate party to attend later in the year and I’m thinking this would be perfect

  285. Omg I love all of these dresses. I’ve always been on the fence with Eshakti, but I’m definitely going to try them out now.

  286. I have been so wanting to try them but they are a bit out of my price range. Excited to think of the possibilities!

  288. Gosh you look so fabulous in all the dresses. POCKETS!!! It should be a law that all women’s clothing have pockets. I can’t wait to go shop. You are the brightest, funniest, most wonderful woman and I love you and your family and your fur babies. (especially Hunter)

  289. I’m constantly playing around with their website, changing around the dresses. It’s nice to have a recommendation that the clothes are worth it!

  290. I live in t-shirts & jeans. I need to get a couple dresses to feel like a girl again! And my husband would love it , too. Thanks for the link & the chance to win!

  292. So, first, thank you!! I love dresses and easy care and POCKETS. And second, You + Polka Dots + Pockets = RULE THE WORLD!!!

  294. You look so happy in these dresses! Good for them realizing your latent marketing power.

  297. Thank you!!… I have not been able to find a dress I can wear for SO long!
    Your introduction to eShakti is exactly what I (so desperately!) needed right now!!
    (And Pockets???!!)
    Wow!!… Thank You!!!!!
    Pat

  300. I love eshakti, but I had no idea about the fabrics that were pet hair repellent. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

  301. This is not the first time I have heard how wonderful eShakti is. I think I am finally ready to jump in! Thanks for posting all of your cute dresses for inspiration!

  304. Brilliant! I’ve long admired your dresses on Instagram but
    I didn’t know they also have pockets!!!

  305. I have always wondered if their dresses were as good as they appear. Or if you really have to be a model to look good. Every dress you show looks absolutely gorgeous! Thanks!

  307. The dresses are beautiful and POCKETS closes the deal for me! Will check them out right now.

  309. Ooh, I need to check them out. I have to find a dress for a wedding in October! Pockets!!!! Yayyy for pockets!

  310. Pockets are always a must with me. I need to keep the office keys handy & I hate wearing them on a lanyard with my name badge. I’m also petite which makes it hard sometime to find clothes I like. Some of the clothes I find in the petite section in a store look like they are for very old ladies. I’m 64 but it doesn’t mean I have to dress like it.

  312. As a sewer and Costume Designer – I LOVE POCKETS!!!!! A place top put the lip balm. A place to use a beloved button as decoration. A place for lace. Lovely dresses. Bring Back Custom Clothing!!!!!

  313. This. Sounds. Awesome! I am always hesitant to try clothes and shoes online unless I can return them because I’m part alien and nothing fits me like other humans. 😀

  317. Best sponsorship EVER!!!!! Every time you post a picture of you in one of their lovely dresses, I always go to the website and stare adoringly at them but I haven’t actually bought one for myself yet.

  318. There’s like 3,000 i want pockets in my dress people replying. LoL and I’m one!!!

  319. Jenny- I’m on the site trying to buy a dress. I’m a new customer and that discount isn’t reflected. I also entered your name and no $15.00 off. SO wanted to let you know. Any suggestions? Thank you!!! Lisa

  320. We ordered my daughter’s senior gala AND graduation dresses from eShakti. LOVED them!! Fast delivery, custom fitting (she changed neckline for one and sleeves for the other), beautiful fabric, and less than $100 for BOTH dresses!! I was amazed!!

  321. Wowee! You look beautiful! The dresses are so cute – I’m totally checking them out. Because…pockets!!!!

  326. The white and red and chambray ones you are wearing are by far my favorite! You look fabulous!! Great job on getting them as a sponsor! I love your blog and your books! Keep being amazing, and tell Beyonce I said hello (cluck-cluck)!

  330. I saw one of your posts a couple years ago and bought one. It is the FIRST dress that has EVER fit me correctly since I had kids!! Thank you.

  333. I’ve always been worried about ordering from them because you never know what kind of quality you get. I’m going to go peruse the website right now!

  334. I swore off Modcloth after WalMart bough them and have been dreading trying to figure out where to buy from when I need new ones. Looks like I found a place!

  336. Having large breasts makes me hard to fit, but I have eShakti a try and my dress not only has pockets, it fits perfectly!

  338. Dresses with pockets are AWESOME. I’d love to win a card and try out one of these!

  339. Oh my goodness, it’s soo hard to find dresses I like…but with POCKETS!? My friend and I have been combing the internet for dresses and this is just serendipitous

  343. I love their dresses! I wish they carried more options for basic skirts because I’d love to get those custom sized.

  345. The cap sleeves are great, but please love your arms…..they’re a dear part of you, and you (all of you) are very dear to us.

  346. Well I can easily see how one might end up with 50 dresses. More like how do you choose one at a time?! Thanks!

  347. I am working on getting healthy, losing weight, and becoming fit. I promised myself an eShakti dress as a reward. Their dresses are fabulous!

  354. I love eShakti! I have three dresses from them, including the one my barbershop quartet bought customized to each of our varying sizes so we could match on the contest stage!

  359. I love their dresses. I have two skirts that I get comments on every time I wear them.

  360. Never hold back a “it has pockets” reply! I do the same thing and love it when people share that their dress has pockets. It’s a joy that should be shared. I’ve always wanted to try eShakti. I always get overwhelmed trying to figure out what I want though because they are all so pretty.

  361. I feel myself caving into a sudden need for a dress… Why do I need a dress? Where would I wear it? WHO CARES, JENNY LOOKS SO GOOD IN ALL OF THOSE AND THERE’S A DISCOUNT.

  364. You look amazing. Maybe I’ll check them out since our 25th is next month? I wouldn’t mind making his jaw drop. 😉

  365. I love Eshatki so much!!! As a plus size person, finding clothing that fits is never easy, but with them it is a breeze! I always know that they are going to fit and the quality is amazing.

  366. I love eShakti and I don’t even own anything from them yet. I love the fact that it is not only to your measurements but it will also add sleeves to most things and lengthen it to floor length. I need floor length dresses more than most and it is so nice to have options.

  371. Thanks for posting this. I hadn’t heard of that company before, and I’ll check them out!

  373. Oooh. I have floundered around their site before, but didn’t see the sort of silhouettes I wanted at that time – but it looks like that’s just because I wasn’t looking hard enough!

  376. I’ve been wanting to order something from them for ages and now I finally have an excuse. And I love pockets!

  377. Ermagerd! Pockets! Lol that is so me when I get a dress with pockets! I just can’t help myself! 😍 All of these dresses are fab-u-lous (said in an Oprah voice!) 😉

  379. I was literally just looking at their website because I remembered that you liked dresses from there. I’m always leery about online sites like that, but knowing that you’ve actually had great success there has alleviated my fears!

  380. I’ve never heard of them but am so excited to give them a try! You had me at pockets and customize!!

  382. OMG – Jenny, you saved my life! I have been looking for a mother-of-the-groom dress for my son’s wedding and haven’t found anything I liked in the colors I wanted. Thanks to you, I have a dress on its way, in the color, length, sleeve length and POCKETS!!! With the discounts, it was such a great deal as well. I will definitely shop there again! They’re going to be regretting all the sales they missed by not sponsoring you sooner, just sayin’…

  383. Squeeeeee – I was JUST about to finally try them because of your recommendations. Thank you Jenny!

  385. Pick me! Pick me! I’d love a new dress. In the last year I’ve lost 55 pounds and all my clothes are too big. Yay

  386. I love these dresses! They also will add sleeves which is awesome for women like me who prefer to cover up a bit!

  387. I absolutely LOVE the Salwar Kameez (maybe a few) I have from them! Send measurements and design and custom made for you! You look AMAZING in all of them!!

  388. Omg I love dresses with pockets!!!! And of course I do the same thing when someone says they like my dress…if it has pockets, I have to tell them!

    P.S. those dresses are amazing! I would love to win a gift card…fingers crossed!

  390. A friend of mine loves eshakti, I will look into them myself having seen you in them. They look fabulous on you!

  391. I absolutely ADORE their dresses! So great for bodies that are in between straight and plus size dresses, and they actually fit my larger chest!!! You look absolutely radiant in them and I love that they have so many styles!!

  398. I have been curious about them for a long time, but was afraid they were just another instagram scam company…. but your endorsement does make me want to try them now. 🙂

  403. You look great in all of these dresses. I am inspired to take a look at their clothes now.

    I am a breast cancer survivor with NO reconstruction, which means I am completely flat chested – for real. I do not wear prosthetics because they are heavy, hot and the bra cuts into my peck muscle where they cut it open to remove my lymph nodes. Clothing is difficult to find because I am also chubby and not a 21 year old skinny girl.Hopefully they have some trapeze style dresses, which work really well for me.

    Cheers

  404. Dang. If the drinking game was take a swig every time you see pockets, I would be too faced right now to type POCKETS. Thanks for the tip, Jenny. Looking into them now! Hugs.

  405. I love dresses & any time I’m I wearing one with pockets that is the first thing I say too. ❤️ I haven’t heard of eShakti before & am excited to go check them out 😁

  406. Drool!!!!
    A few years ago my parents gave me birthday money to get a couple of eShakti dresses for myself. But then life happened and I let the money go into the general fund. (Yes, it’s a mom thing, but my husband has done it too.) So anyway I’d really really love some clothes!

  408. THANK YOU for this post! eShakti constantly shows up in my feed, and I’ve really wanted to try it because I’m tall and can use a little extra fabric pretty much everywhere. But I’ve been scared because I didn’t know if the results would be worth it!

  415. I have seen the website and the acbook ads for eShakti, but was always hesitant to try them. You give me hope and inspiration!

  416. I’ve checked out this website before , because you meation it on your site. I did really like what I seen but didn’t buy.
    Will have to check it out again. I’m not someone who grew up wearing dresses . And it been an insecurity for me. So I gave myself a challage to start wearing more dress and try to over come that insecurity. 👗🙂

  419. I’d always wondered about the quality of them, good to hear you’ve had such good experiences, thank you for sharing!

  420. I absolutely love them. Great for a person who is hard to size. Returns aren’t easy or free for international customers but since you can customize almost everything it is super rare to have to do it. (Only 1 out of 30ish dresses so far).

  423. Oh my goodness, the one you said is your favorite is gorgeous <3 I wish i had an occasion to wear a dress like that. I’ve had my eye on eshakti for a while now, but somehow have never made a purchase myself (I’m the type that easily talks myself out of spending money on myself).

    Even for my wedding last year, I let my bridesmaids pick their own dresses, they just had to be maroon. I directed them to eshakti as an option and a handful of them wound up ordering, they loved them and they looked great <3 I always recommend it to people who have trouble finding clothes in their size or to properly fit their body.

  425. omg!! I have 5 or so dresses that have pockets and EVERY.SINGLE.TIME someone compliments the dress, I say: “It has pockets!” I can’t wait to check out these dresses! They look amazing!!

  426. They really are the best. My bestie has several of their dresses and I’ve been meaning to order. This is my perfect excuse.

  428. Lovely! I had heard about the pockets dresses, but never knew if it was real or a come-on. May have to look closer now!
    Deena

  431. Oh, you got the star cape! I’ve been eyeing that one, and a bunch of others. How has this site been around that long, and I just discovered them a month or so ago?? So far I have only good things to say about their pieces, and their customer service when there was a problem with a couple of shirts I had ordered.

  433. I love eShakti! Haven’t ordered from them in a while – but we did all our bridesmaid dresses from them. Looked awesome!

  434. Love your dress collection! I have one eShakti dress; I get frozen by the options!

  435. That polka dot dress is amazing on you! I have a bunch of eShakti dresses and love them all.

  436. I adore eShakti! I’m an odd size and their customization is pure perfection!

  437. I’ve been meaning to order from eShakti forever. The Universe just said THE TIME IS NOW.

  440. I’ve always coveted an Eshakti dress!!! They look so comfy and gorgeous on you. 😍

  442. This is the nudge I’ve needed – been wanting to try something from them to up my mom uniform game! Thank you for the review and photos.

  444. This is the nudge I’ve needed – been wanting to try something from them to up my mom uniform game! Thank you for the review and photos.

  445. wooo hoo pockets and eshakti — it is a revolution for fashion… I am hoping to be a winner and expand my collection.

  446. Eeeee that dress is gorgeous! You look happy and amazing and like you belong to the Parasol Protectorate! I’m envious!

  448. It’s been a while since I’ve ordered anything from eShakti, but my sister’s wedding is next year so …

  449. That last photo of you in the black dress is awesome! I’ve seen the eShakti dresses advertised but never took a closer look until today. I will definitely be ordering an outfit from them. Thanks for showing us the light!

  451. You should wear that fancy black dress grocery shopping, because life is too short to not feel fabulous when doing mundane shit. I’ve been thinking about trying eShakti but my weight fluctuates so I always hate spending a lot of money on a single piece of clothing. But I might try them now that there’s a discount 🙂

  453. Wear that gorgeous black dress to your favorite library and twirl, TWIRL through the fiction and poetry aisles. For you. For me. For all of us! That dress is fabulous!

  455. I love eshakti. The quality of everything I’ve bought there is fantastic.

  456. I LOVE eshakti! As a high school teacher I love that you can select length, sleeves, etc. I’m a liberated lady and all, but standing in front of a room full of teens in a dress that was just a tiny bit too short when I got it is a terrible way to spend a day. Ditto for too low cut, sleeves that let my arms wiggle when I write on the board, etc. Hooray for customization!

  457. I have one dress from them that’s my “I’m doing something fancy” dress. It’s cotton, so it’s super comfortable, it’s vintage and there’s pockets. Plus a really cute bo helped me decide which dress I should get when I was torn between like four.

    But, I’m obsessed with that polka dot one!

  458. Eshakti is my go-to because their dresses ALWAYS fit, and being 6′ tall it’s really REALLY hard to walk in a department store and find a dress at the length it’s supposed to be. Shoutout to my history teacher a few years back that showed me them 🙂

  459. I love eShakti and recommend them all the time. I’m constantly on the site looking to see what’s new!

  463. I’ve never ordered before but you’ve just about got me talked into it!

  464. I love eShakti and would love a gift cars. The last time I tried custom fitting I immediately put on 20 pounds 🙁

  465. I’ve never ordered before, but you’ve just about got me talked into it!

  466. Got a dress in a boutique not too long ago and when someone compliments me the first thing I say is “it has pockets!” So there ya go.

  467. A) POCKETS!!!!, B) I’ve wondered how long it would take to get items back from them, so this info is wonderful, C) I’m glad they’ve seen the light and will sponsor your page! Now off to shop 🙂

  469. Pockets? Pockets! I’ve looked at their dresses several times, played around with customizing one, but never pulled the trigger on buying. One of these days I’ll get one, though!

  470. I love their dresses! I have the app and have customized so many dresses, but never actually ordered!

  472. Pockets are such a must! I’ve always said that if I were to be reincarnated as an inanimate object, it would be a pocket. I’ve not heard of eShakti, but will check them out!

  475. I have sensitive skin and can only wear natural fabrics. I love that I can chose the fabrics–it has really spoiled me for other sites!

  476. Pockets!! I’ve never ordered from them, but you’ve sold me! Going to check out the site now! 🙂

  477. I’ve gone to their site and admired their dresses but have never ordered. You look beautiful in all of them.

  478. I need a dress for a wedding coming up and I have been looking at about 10 different styles…but I keep coming back to the beautiful embroidery styles.

  479. I love eShakti! I probably only have a dozen of their dresses, but I am always looking at more. I sing their praises whenever I wear them. I always get compliments, and refer people all the time too. I love the customization to size and style. I have never had a dress from anywhere else that fits as well.

  480. I’ve always wanted to try them, but I’m so not an online shopper. The few times I’ve done it, everything goes back because nothing fits! This may be my incentive to try eshakti.

  482. I will definitely be checking them out! I wear dresses every day to work. And YAY for sponsorships!

  483. I have wanted to try eShakti FOREVER! I think you just convinced me to make today the day it finally happens.

  484. I have been eyeballing eShakti for ages, and the hard part is trying to decide what to pick. I love playing around with the options. And trying to convince myself that it’s totally not weird to get the same dress with different options. As someone with an awkward body type (super short torso, very top heavy), I have a heck of a time finding shirts and dresses that fit well. I’m hoping the custom fit works out!

  485. I have several dresses and pockets are the reason I keep buying from them. Pockets for the win!!!

  486. You Look fantastic in the dresses
    I‘m to shyful to Order a dress , cause i‘m thinking it dont fit.
    Nur i think i habe to try.
    Greetings from Germany 😘

  487. E-shakti is amazing! You are also amazing so, smart of them to reach out to you! I’m forever browsing and looking for an excuse to buy another dress from them. I’ve also bought custom jeans from E-shaki and they may be the best thing I have ever purchased, period.

  488. OH MY GOSH! I’m going to a wedding in October and have been thinking about ordering a dress from eShakti. I think I’ve been convinced!

  489. I-miracle of miracles-managed to find an eShakti dress that fit me like a freaking glove at the local GOODWILL. I died. I was looking at it and how cute it was and then I saw the label and freaked out and checked it for pockets. And it’s perfect and beautiful and I’m so happy. Given the sale I may order something cute-my dumb job requires I wear sleeves and it’s difficult to find really gorgeous things with sleeves and being able to just pick something gorgeous and say “With sleeves, please!” sounds awesome.

  490. I love reading these comments…Everyone loves the pockets! I think we’ve been pocket deprived!! Love the dresses!

  491. I love eshakti! Seriously. But I haven’t ordered a new dress in a while…

  492. You always look stunning and now we know why – and capes are always in style!!

  493. Tres Chic! Isn’t it odd how we all have some bit of ourselves we hate, mines below chin to top of legs. EEEK!

  494. I’m totally packing for a trip today and changed which dress I’m taking to an eShakti one because POCKETS. There are a couple I’ve been eyeing for awhile that have star prints as well as pockets!

  495. I adore eshakti! I’m actually wearing one of the skirts I got from them right now
    😀

  496. I just ordered my 1st gorgeous dress, for my 50th high school reunion, its soo pretty, I added sleeves & a little length. The idea of being able to customize is so cool. But there was a pretty red one I’d like to scoop up too.! pick me pick me!

  497. I love having pockets in dress. My mom akways said pockets are not for putting stuffs in,but where else can I put my backup candy.

  498. I’ve been dying to order a dress from them. I think the time has finally arrived!

  499. Love eShakti clothes! I have already placed 3 orders with them. I’ve even ordered 2 of a few skirts because I live in 2 places and need to have them in each place!

  500. I went to a British garden wedding this May and really struggled with finding a dress. While there, I encountered a woman in a dress that I was just M-A-D for. She was so excited to tell me that she got it from eShakti and that “IT HAS POCKETS!!!”

  502. Pockets are the absolute best. I get sooo irritated when I’m shopping for dress pants. Why can’t women have pockets too!?

  504. i am thinking of ordering one to be my wedding party dress, this is so timely!! they look amazing, i’ve been wondering about them but now you kinda sealed the deal…

  505. I love ESHAKTI! I have bought direct from the site but I’ve also found some really great dresses on Poshmark for a good price and with tags. I accidentally left my favorite eShakti dress in a hotel room in Colorado last year and they “didn’t find it” 🙁 It was a great dress! Thanks for the coupon!

  506. I previously ordered one dress from there (a long blue dress with cape sleeves!) that I love! Would recommend

  508. Oh I love eShakti! I had a shirt by them and then I lost weight and it didn’t fit me and I had to give it away. But I love their stuff so much!!!

  510. ❤️🤩❤️
    I feel an eShakti order coming on! I have been wanting to try for a while. Thanks for posting. Love all you pictures.

  511. eshakti is the best — personally their cotton jersey blend fabrics are my fav

  512. Fashion related post?! gasp 😱 Count me in!

    Cheers to the long game Jenny! Hooray! Congrats! Life has thrown many metaphorical curve balls your way recently. You deserved a win dammit!

    Aren’t dresses the best?! I love the comfort of those, and also the ladylike appearance of dresses. I love vintage/classic inspired dresses via the ‘50s and ‘60s. Your dresses are super chic!👍👍👍 I would love to win a gift card if at all possible. I’ve never bought clothes for myself online before! If not I’m just happy to see good things happen to good people like you! Lifts my spirits. ☺️ Thanks Jenny!

  513. Lucky you – it’s all about the long game and it paid off!
    I have been eyeing off their dresses for ages but haven’t known anyone who has purchased from them so now I just need to choose!

  515. I’ve customized dresses on eShakti for a couple of years, but never went through with a purchase. I don’t fit into any dresses off the hanger, and my measurements always change an inch back and forth each season. I’m glad to hear the fabric can stand up to pets. (I have a shed-monster.)

  518. I LOVE that black dress….a gift card would help me get one to add to my collection of black dresses from eshakti 🙂 I love the options for sleeves, neckline and length!

  519. I just need you to know, your excitement is well founded. Any piece of women’s clothing with pockets deserves a round of applause AND to be immortalized because it obviously did something right in its past life. Also eShakti is magic. It’s the best – especially for people who have odd sizes… maybe like me. 😁

  520. Oh man I have been wanting to try their dresses now that I have gotten over my self image enough to wear dresses!

  521. Oh man I have been wanting to try their dresses now that I have gotten over my self image enough to wear dresses!

  523. My absolute favorite clothing company. I have a dozen dresses from them, and get compliments all the time. I tend to stick to the knits, since they’re super comfey and stretch a little, but yeah…. cat hair everywhere. I really want to get another shirt dress (the one I got a few years ago has gotten a little snug in the waist; I changed, not the dress), so would love to win a gift card.

  524. Isn’t it a law to declare your pockets following a compliment?!?!

  525. I love the cape! All of these look so great. I always wanted to try eShakti but never quite went for it. Maybe it’s time to go for it. I mean, pockets!!

  526. 1) I love eShakti 2)I do the same thing telling people about the pockets 3)POCKETS! I even have a dress with only one pocket -and I love the heck out of my one pocket! I am so glad they are sponsoring you 🙂 cheers! 4) You do look fabulous

  527. I thought about buying one but who am I kidding since haven’t worn a dress since 1995 at my mom’s funeral. But they do look nice and POCKETS!

  528. I love them too! I got married in an eShakti dress, and this past Saturday I found one of their dresses at a thrift store (WHY?!?! But also YAY!!!), bought it, wore it to someone else’s wedding the very next day and got a bunch of compliments! And didn’t have to carry a purse or anything, because POCKETS!

  530. I’ve been in love with eshakti since they started, since back in the day when you would order a dress and then instantly get a code for a % off your next order. That’s how I ended up with over a dozen of their dresses. WITH POCKETS!

    I have one skirt and one top too and in 15 days I leave the US for my first trip to Europe with one small carry-on filled with 2 custom knit dresses and a half dozen gorgeous eshakti chiffon (read: wrinkle free and light!) tops.

  531. This is a gorgeous dress!! I love eshakti and was so surprised that their quality is amazing! Everyone needs to try it.

  533. I just bought one! my first!! I got the eyeglass dress, thought it was adorable 🙂

  534. eShakti is my favorite!!! I literally have 30+ of their dresses and I <3 every single one!!!

  535. Wow! I could order one of everything! The prices are so reasonable and glad they ship to Canada. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

  536. eShakti is my favorite!!! I literally have 30+ of their dresses and I ❤ every single one!!!

  537. I have three eShakti dresses and I love them. Every single thing about them. I shopped with them before the website had the ability to show what the dresses would like with the different styling choices. It’s super amazing now. Pleaaaaase pick this random comment as a winner. I want more eShakti.

  538. So beautiful!!! I don’t know why dresses are made without pockets in the first place, but glad someone gets it!

  540. I once stunned a whole group of women at a wedding when I pulled my full sized wallet and giant phone out of the pockets of my eShakti dress. Love them!

  541. Thanks for review Nd mentioning that you’ve bought many since a long time ago. I’ve always wondered at their quality. But I think I’m going to go for it!

  543. I had to come back and tell you that I ordered a dress! The aquatic animal print dress! I only wear dresses with leggings all year round and only buy them at thrift shops. I’m so excited! I have never spent so much money on a piece of clothing in my life! I keep telling myself that I’m worth it and trying to believe it but apparently my self esteem must be horrible. 🙁 I am currently stuck in bed because of a giant, weird & extremely painful ASS abscess so this gave me something to do and look forward to. Thanks Jenny! <3

  544. What an awesome idea! I love how many customations I can make! In addition to my own shopping, I’ll have to tell my son’s fiance about this as she could use it for her bride’s maid’s dresses 😀

  545. I love the idea of a choose your own adventure dress…I hope they have plus sizes and that they ship to Canada!

  546. I have that same dress you’re wearing in the bottom row. I love eShakti!! I’ve purchased five dresses, a peplum top, and a pair of embellished jeans. Their service is wonderful!

  547. I have LOVED Eshakti for years! POCKETS!!! YES!!! As a teacher, I really hate it when I wear clothes without pockets – no place for my keys or phone! I wish customers of Eshakti who weren’t new to them could get the discount!

  548. I have been wanting to order from them for so long but I was worried the quality would be garbage. I can’t wait to find something!

  549. Why is all of this so cute? I didn’t need to buy anything and now have like 20 options in my cart.

  550. Oh my lordy the FAF dress is just divine .. you look splendid lady. Anyone who underestimates the wonder of a dress with pockets does not belong in your vicinity – or mine. Scared to check our their website for fear of falling more in love but will put it in my ‘must treat self when funds permit’ log

  551. I got my first eShakti dresses last week! I love them. I was very amused by the fact that there is the option to REMOVE the pockets. What kind of monster would do that!

  552. My bf was like “Is it girl code to announce pockets?!” And I said hell yes it is!!
    All of my friends adore eShakti but I’ve never pulled the trigger, I need to though because those prints on you are AMAZING!!!! Love you mean it (and it ain’t all about the pocketed dresses <3)

  553. What a brilliant idea! I love this company! Thank you for sharing the love and the good deals!

  554. I work at a public library and I like to wear dresses on Mondays. If someone complements one of my dresses (that does have pockets) I will also always say “and it has pockets!”. Sometimes I change it up with “and unlike many of the shorts I own, this dress has pockets!” And all the someone laugh and smile. So you are not the only one. My male boss gave me an odd look once for it, and I told him he would never understand since his pockets are not made of lies. Knowing a good place to get more dresses with pockets is a great.

  555. Sounds like a great way to do something I really hate – shopping for clothes.

  556. You look amazing. Pockets AND capes AND I CAN ADD SLEEVES?? Um, yes pls.

  557. Interesting – I see their ads on Facebook often, but didn’t know any reliable review folks. Now I do!

  558. I spent 10 minutes looking and I still haven’t found that last dress. =( Maybe it’s out of production? I do love their stuff, though. I need to get something that’s not a wrap dress the next time I order something, but they’re just so comfortable!

  560. I love eShakti. I just got a new dress from them last week, and I’m utterly in love. Even my dress-hating teen daughter gets interested in some of the designs.

  561. I second your eShakti love! I have a fewof their dress and even though the pockets are what I brag about the most, I get compliments every time I wear the dresses. I really love the soft cotton “tshirt” material ones. So comfortable!

  562. I haven’t been brave enough to actually order anything, but I love playing with their design thing where you can change the neckline, or the sleeves, or the length, and it shows what the dress would look like. It’s so cool!

  564. I LOVE the 2 dresses that I have from them, and I can never resist telling people about the pockets!!! 🙂

  565. I’m going to check them out to see if they have any good options for the job interview I have coming up! Thank you for letting us know about them!

  568. Just went to look at eShakti. Wow. So many decisions to make! Good thing I’m retired.thanks for sharing!

  570. Omg. I need new teaching clothes so bad and you look gorgeous and I want to look gorgeous. Thank you for telling me so much more about this brand!!!

  572. Well I have to dress up for my kids wedding, so now I know where to look. Dresses never fit me right.

  573. My daughter reflexively, joyfully announces whenever her dresses have pockets. I now know where to shop for her 😅

  574. Love dresses with pockets! They are best! Will be checking this out!
    You look amazing! Love and hugs 💕

  575. You really are gorgeous in those dresses. You have style! I really need to check eShakti out. Thanks for the tips and winning the long game:)

  577. I must check them out. I am only able to wear dresses or skirts right now and I miss pockets!

  578. This is perfect timing for me! I just had a hysterectomyand am wearing nothing but dresses and my boyfriend’s oversized basketball shorts with a tshirt.Time to shop!

  579. Literally, my favorite site. I’ve put off buying anything from them in a while because babies, but now I’m inspired to get something nice that will actually fit the body I have now.

  580. Oh my god, those are so cute!! I really love those mid length ones (t-length? tea-length?) and kneeish length because I’ve got thunder thighs and a big butt. I dance and am always looking for new 50s style swing dresses and so many of them would totally fit! Bookmarking for future orders when I’m not super broke. Thank you!

  581. Oh my gosh! Wow. I remember reading one of u r posts b4 but honestly I forgot like 10 minutes later and never looked em up. But I’m writing it down this time so 50 50 chance. 😂🤣 sooo cute. And much easier than buying one at thrift stores and working on it. And don’t worry I’m guilty too of saying “pockets” on the ones I have I’ve either put pockets on or locked up on finding. Congratulations on getting them to sponsor u! So awesome!

  582. I love eShakti. Also, it is part of the social contract to announce that your dress has pockets when someone compliments you.

  583. Ooh! You look so lovely! I’ve always wanted to to try something from eShakti. I like a lot of their dresses!

  584. I have tons of great things about this company and you look amazing in the long, fancy black dress and I adore the polka dotted one!

  585. My sister-in-law, who considered herself hard-to-fit and rarely feels dainty and feminine, simply ROCKED one of their dresses as the Mother of the Groom at her son’s wedding!

  586. OMG! I’m going to order one on my next pay check for the office Christmas party!! Thank you!!

  587. I’ve always wanted to order one of their dresses, but I have a difficult time justifying the cost… Especially since I have nowhere to wear all the dresses I already own! lol

    I guess I should get a life, and remedy that. 😊

  588. I have been wanting to try eShakti for a while…and your reviews just convinced me to do it. So excited (POCKETS!!!!!! Also, discounts!)

  589. I was looking for a dress for my daughter’s rustic wedding. The standard long glittery dress mother’s dress wasn’t going to work. I needed something special but not glitzy and oh yay sleeves (hate my upper arms) Wedding is in July and I can’t find anything I like with sleeves. Looked in tons of stores in three states. Nothing. Saw the ads for eshatki with only four weeks before the wedding and decide to try it. I spent $50 on a totally custom dress which fit perfectly. I got tons of compliments,

  590. I do the exact same thing and I think at this point I would feel betrayed if someone didn’t tell me a dress had pockets when I complimented them on it

  595. Ah I love eShakti (and I love that you love eShakti). I’m constantly searching for long sleeve dresses and/or pockets (long story but I’m insecure about my hands and don’t want people to notice them right away) and my absolute favorite thing is that I can get ANY dress made with BOTH! 💖

  597. My daughter is getting married in February and I’ve been looking for a dress that was inexpensive yet elegant, and the right color for months.She wants her dad and I both to walk her down the aisle, so I have to look good. Pockets were on my wish list, but I figured I’d have to carry a small bag. I’d love to win a gift card, since I found the perfect dress but I don’t have the money just yet.

  602. I haven’t gotten anything from eShakti yet, but I adore so many things that they make. And the fact that it is customizable is amazing. I’ll definitely be taking advantage of the coupon code!

  603. How freaking cool is that! Well played! And love that there’s a giveaway…

  604. I absolutely love this company. Especially because I don’t fit standard sizes. I also like how they use SO MANY measurements to get it right.

  608. Is that the print with the tiny birds in top hats? I have it in a different style dress.

  610. Those are gorgeous! And a testimonial from you seals the deal. Definitely going to check them out!

  611. If you download the app, they often offer free customization or free shipping. And POCKETS! Win win win!

  614. My Mother-of-the-Bride dress had POCKETS and I made sure to show everyone who complimented me on the dress.

  615. I have been tempted to order from them before, but never have…hmmmmm. Maybe I should change that?!? These are gorgeous, and I love your smile. Plus, pockettttsssssss…..

  618. I have been looking through their stuff recently after reading your posts and looking for an excuse to splurge on a dress I don’t actually need. Discount codes=excuse! Yay!!

  619. I am going now to check them out… don’t tell my boss… Not working so hard today.

  620. I love eshakti! I’m happy to hear that you are promoting them. I have 5 of their dresses. I love that you can customize them for dirt cheap. Your dresses are gorgeous and great for many occasions.

  621. I have often looked at the site but never ordered. I start a new job next week where my fandom T-shirts will no longer be appropriate so I need to get some new clothes. I’d love to have a gift card to get some new dresses. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! Also? Yay for pockets. I have some dress pants without pockets and it is VERY irritating.

  624. You look fab and those dresses are really cute. Also POCKETS, I am on a quest to never buy another dress/skirt or pair of pants without pockets, PJ pants included.

  626. I have been dying to try eshakti but I don’t have a lot of spare cash these days so a gift card would be amazing!

  627. They seriously are the best!! I’ve bought dresses from them and absolutely nothing has ever fit so well!! They really do have it down to an exact science, and the quality is phenomenal!

  629. Lol ai wish I could get a gift card. But I probably still couldnt afford one even if ai got it. I’ve been drooling over these dresses for years. crosses fingers one day. 😊🙏🏾

  631. Pockets Rule! I need some of these for my daughter. She has recently just realized the dearth of pockets in women’s clothing, now that she is 13 and wearing “real” clothes. When I first explained “faux pockets” in women’s clothing to her, she was flabbergasted.

  632. I love eShakti! So glad that they’re finally sponsoring you, seeing as you appear to be their #1 fan!!

  635. Oh my goodness! I’ve been drooling over their dresses for years. I really should just take the plunge!

  637. I’ve always wanted to try this website but I havent bitten the bullet yet !

  642. I’m going to guess that I’m too late to win but still…I need a nifty dress with pockets too!

  643. If your dress has pockets, it’s impossible and irresponsible NOT to tell everyone! These are the things we’re need to know!

  644. Oh! The ruffles! You must wear that one out. You are fancy!! Thanks for the introduction to this clothing line – I needed this. Pockets are so great – and that they last is an added delight as once I love an outfit I have a hard time giving it up.

  645. I’ll check their website out. Love the great photos of you in their dresses!

  646. My bank account did not need this post….but oh my heart is rejoicing over the possibilities!

  648. Pocketses. Half the reason I don’t like wearing dresses. The other half is my legs, which get cold, so adjusting the length is a great option!

  651. I have gotten 1 dress from there, and I love it! I do kind of wish the material wrinkled less, though.

  652. Will I look as beautiful as you if I buy one?! I really need dresses with pockets.

  653. I’ve been wanting to try them, maybe this is the time. They look beautiful

  655. I know I’ve missed your giveaway,but just came across this. I just got first dress from eshakti, and love it. They are amazing, and that little extra to custom size is well worth it. Congrats on them sponsoring you, I tell everyone about eshakti, and always add about the pockets, haha

  657. You look a zillion feet tall in that red and white dress. Like super model fabulous strutting tall. Love it.

  658. I was just looking for a dress online and couldn’t find anything I liked. I’d forgotten about escalating, so I’m excited to check them out.

  659. I love eShakti; I have a couple of skirts and three dresses from them. The functional pockets are the best.

  660. I’ve seen ads for Them a million times and have always been hesitant to try them but those dresses are GORGEOUS!

  661. Wow. Women’s clothes with pockets. Pockets! Congrats on getting the sponsorship. Sounds like a great company. I just got cancer. Again. So I think I deserve to go shopping.

  662. Ah! I’m on such a strict budget right now (freelancer, so not tragic, just cyclical) but I want a new dress so badly! Fingers crossed on that giftcard!

    (You won! Check your email! ~ Jenny)

  663. Well, now that it’s become “tomorrow “, before I could find the end of the list of comments (lol) … Yes, I’ve found dress shopping to be a great pain, too, and Thank You, Jenny, for the conduit to some great solutions with eShakTi !
    I’ve tried the online “We dress you” popular service, but for me, incapable of “getting” an energetic active, yet plump older woman who does NOT like to wear shapeLESS OVERcasual blocks of fabric … I’ve tried the ridiculously inexpensive ( and worth every cent! ) Chinese website with BEAUTIFUL photos … but LIE about Actual fabric content, for starters, and construction quality is “bare minimum “.

    I’d love to try eShakTi, and truly thank you for sharing the photos and info with us All!

  664. I have my own young kids excited about pockets, even though they never seem to use them 😆 just a couple weeks ago my mom got my girls these cute dark grey dresses covered in rainbow robots (I know I know, why isn’t that in grown up sizes!?) I held them up, say hey look they have pockets! And the girls suddenly got super excited!

    There’s also another time I had this dress I’d worn several times already, and wore it to my friend’s mother’s funeral, and afterwards while we’re all in groups talking I suddenly yell “OH MY GOD, IT HAS POCKETS!”
    Oops 😬

  666. I’ve been wanting to try eShakti for a while because I’m short but love maxi dresses, and that’s hard to find. Thank you for the inspiration – I’m going to choose a new dress this weekend!

  667. I LOVE ESHAKTI!!!! Mostly because POCKETS! I’ve been crusading for Pocket Equality (Pockality?) for my entire adult life…REAL pockets in women’s clothes, not just decorative fake pockets.

  668. I’ll never win anyway, but what a great polka dot dress!!!
    You look stunning!

  670. Somehow I didn’t know about them, even though I’ve admired your adorable dresses often! Going to check them out right now! Sleeves! Pockets! And it looks like they will have plenty of choices for someone who likes a little longer length, too.

  674. I just found this post and tried to check them out, and it looks like you crashed them. 🙂 It’s showing zero dresses available at all, not even a preview of the styles. I’ll give it a few days and check back.

  675. I love them! One of the custom options is to remove the pockets and I can’t for the life of me figure out what kind of monster would do that.

  676. Dang I missed it! I will still go look at their stuff and dream. Your dresses are lovely as are you.

  679. I’ve been thinking about trying them for months because of your posts and some of the lovely dresses you have. I think I’ll have to pull the trigger now.

  681. You look great Jenny! None of my dresses have pockets. It’s an epidemic! That has to change.

  682. I love their clothes as well…I am never unhappy with anything I order from them! I just recommended them to my mom as she’s looking for a wedding dress for a 2nd marriage.

  683. Pockets? OMG…You don’t know how hard it is to find pockets in dresses for us “larger” gals. Dress designers seem to think since they’re already charging us more for the dress, why throw in pockets? We can just carry everything. Thank you for turning me on them.

  684. It is payday and I have stumbled onto this post. Bye bye, sweet little paycheck. Hello, pockets!

  687. Is that last dress (long, black, square neck) still for sale?? What’s the name of it? I want it! 🙂

  688. Why try to avoid saying “it has pockets”? That is information you should be shouting to the world. It’s a Public Service Announcement is what it is.

    Your dresses always show off how lovely you are — even your arms.

    Ruth

  689. Every dress should have pockets! And you look amazing in all those dresses!

  690. I love eShakti! I, too, have a ton of their dresses, but you have some particular winners! Would love to be entered for the gift certificate!

  691. A dress with pockets would be awesome for confiscating phones at the middle school!

  693. Not only do they have dresses but pants as well! As someone with short legs it would be nice to get pants that fit

  694. I too LOVE eShakti!!! I have a few dresses from them and the fit is always awesome because I have it customized to my measurements. And, with now faster delivery than before, it is even better 🙂

  695. Poptarts and pockets seems like it should be their new slogan, but only I find it’s the cherry Poptarts 🙂

  699. Not just pockets, but LENGTH. As a women who is both tall (6′ 1″) and not in the least bit skinny, shopping has never, ever been fun. But eshakti changed all that. Bravo for promoting them!

  700. Wow. I hadn’t heard of them before, but I love that polka dotted dress!

  702. This is wild. I was JUST showing off my eshakti pockets yesterday. Note: It was at a funeral when someone commented on my dress and even THEN people were into it. I have a few pieces from eshakti and I love them. Bonus: The dresses have these little tabs in the shoulder area to keep your bra in place. I didn’t even know that was a thing until I started shopping eshakti.

  703. I love the dresses! And I would like to be fancy as fuck too … do they still have that dress? I spent a long time looking but couldn’t find it. But there are a bunch of other things I loved too.

  704. I’ve been drooling over these dresses for a long time! They look gorgeous on you! I might have to get to ordering soon!

  705. Thank you for posting thisI I’ve seen their ads but didn’t really believe the ‘customize it’ thing. Had mom take my measurements and placed an order. POCKETS!

  706. Love the white with red polka dots! So adorable! I’ll have to tell my daughter about it, she’ll love it.

  708. I’ve never heard of them, but they sound awesome and I’m going to go check them out for sure! TFS!!

  709. You are stunning in the white dress with red polka dots! Really, like a Hollywood Star from the 1950’s! I’m having a fat period in my life right no so I can’t wear dresses like that. Do they make extra-extra large brown paper bags? Cause that’s about all I could see myself in at this point.

  710. I have always wondered where you find your fabulous dresses!! You truly look amazing in all of them. I went to check out their site and I was excited to find that they also offer plus sizes for those of us that have a few extra curves! Thank you so much for sharing!

  711. I stopped wearing dresses to work (I’m an elementary school counselor) because I need to have my cellphone in me, Huynh I also need to keep my hands free, and dresses never have pockets. Heading to the website now. Thank goodness school has started again and I get paychecks again…

  713. I have been thinking about trying them forever, and this deal is too good to pass up! As a teacher, trying to buy back to school clothes…..when I haven’t been paid all summer….kinda tough! 🙂 Thanks for the offer.

  714. You look great!!! And I LOVE POCKETS TOO! It’s frustrating when women’s clothing does not have pockets (never have been a huge fan of purses). Thank you!
    Jen

  715. OMG I have been eyeing their Facebook ads for years but I’m totally taking the plunge now. Pockets!!!

  718. Jenny I love you in your eshakti dresses! They are lovely! Pockets!! I live for pockets. Couldn’t love them more. I’ll check them out!

  720. And I now have 3 dresses with pockets on order and I am very excited. Thank you, Jennifer!

  721. Omg that’s so much I am a big girl and I need to get dressed made for my sisters wedding in end of October and really don’t have that much money and struggling there so affording and with the $15 off that will really help. Thank u so much and fingers crossed I win

    (YOU WON! Check your email. ~ Jenny)

  723. Loving the ensembles and pop tart crumbs don’t stick to the fabric?! Yes please!

  726. OMG I LOVE eshakti! I’ve been getting stuff from them for years. I love the dresses and the pockets, and another super awesome thing about them is that they go up to a 6x.

  727. UGGH the dresses are way too fabulous. I swear Jenny, everything you share always leads me down some beautiful rabbit hole and suddenly I’m addicted to miniature gothic doll houses and creepy taxidermy

  729. 🙂 I’m SO happy for you!!! I know this is a dream come true to have your magic-dress-shop sponsor you! You seriously look beautiful in all their dresses!!! And congratulations on Nowehere Bookshop!!! Another dream come true for you!!! I love that good things are happening to good people like YOU!!! 🙂 I absolutely adore you, your family, your animals & your writing!!! Thank you for being YOU!!! 🙂

  730. My sister is a big eShakti fan; I don’t wear a ton of dresses so I’ve never tried them but I just found out they have pants, too.

  731. I’ve been drooling over this site since the first time i saw you mention it, but i never have money to really throw at them (even though i desperately want to), because i never really neeeeeeeeeed to wear stuff like this. I did require pockets on my wedding dress though, so YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS to pockets!

  734. I’ve been wanting to try eShakti for a while now. I actually found one at a thrift store in my size, and I LOVE the pockets! I’d love to try some custom-fit so it fits me just right, I always have issues with sizing when it comes to store-bought clothes, one part will fit, another part won’t.

  735. No lie, 99% of my clothing comes from eShakti! They make pants and shirts too! I never have to worry about them not fitting. I am a little obsessed at this point.

  736. Is there a wocket in any of the pockets?

    I will have to try them out. I’ve circled the site for a while. I’ll take the plane down and land an order.

  738. That black dress definitely needs to leave the house. It’s too fabulous to live in a closet!

  739. LOVE! I’ve always wondered about eshakti, and now I have a reliable endorsement. Thank you! Heading over now to take a peek.

  740. Hey Jenny, I ordered last week when you posted about this! I got a shipping notification on Tuesday. I checked again on Thursday and it was in Abu Dhabi and I was like cool, it’ll be here early next week. IT CAME YESTERDAY! It was like a Christmas! Surprise! And it’s awesome! I’m now shopping for another one and my husband is happy because I never wear dresses! I have 4 in my cart for him to choose from because I cannot afford 4 at this time! 😀 It fits great and I LOVE the pockets! xox

  741. Hahahahaha, I do the same thing!!! I expect everyone to be as happy about the pockets as I am (they probably are), but sometimes they look a little taken aback, and I wonder if maybe I was a bit too exuberant. Last time, I think I accidentally said it twice. Hmmmm.

    Trying to decide what to order next so I was skimming the customer photos on facebook and found this blog 🙂

  742. What a fabulous thing a dress with POCKETS! And cat fur resistent, too?
    I am going to check them out. I ought to have a dress….it has been many years since one resided in my closet.

  744. Thanks for introducing us to this amazing company. I am torn on what to order because there are so many cute choices. Love the customization options, too! Looking forward to a new favorite place to shop online.

  745. I wore an eShakti dress to a super fancy restaurant in Santa Fe, NM, and the hostess was so kind and complementary about it, and when I showed her the pockets she nearly squealed out loud. We ALL need pockets, even (especially?) when we work in fancy places. Also you should wear your gorgeous black dress to your bookstore’s first event.

  746. I live pockets!!!
    Okay, meant to write “love pockets! “
    But really both are accurate.
    💕💕

  747. Oh dear, I just found this post because I posted to one of the FB groups that worship, er, follow you, and I am in a bind. I had a STROKE. Actually, 3 strokes in one year. I have a structure that’s formed in my brain & it is actually going to kill me in 1-2 years (a couple of neurologists’ estimate). But … that’s not my bind. My REAL bind is I’m having problems because of the strokes, and the bad one is, well, it involves the bathroom. And, yeah. And I have now ruined three pairs of trousers that I have to keep washing, but the real problem is I run a bookstore & I have to keep extra trousers there, but how many pairs can I reasonably keep there? Three? Six? A nine-hour day can cause a lot of problems.

    So … the FB group that worships, er, follows you recommended I start wearing skirts. Good idea, but I’m a dress person. And I remembered eShakti. And found a dress that (1) has pockets (2) is the right color for my green eyes (3) has a cowl neck to cover my “hump” from my just-fused neck (neurosurgery caused the third stroke) (4) is below the knee (I may ask for it longer as I’m a mid-shin girl (5) doesnt have a defined waist as the meds I’ve been on the last eight years have made me fat fat fat.

    So this brings me back to eShakti. I NEED THIS DRESS LIKE WHOA. But I’m also in the position of choosing between food and medicine right now.

    The coupon would save me, Jenny. I’m sure they’re all gone by now (it’s 9/11 and I just saw this post), but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to tell my story.

    And yeah, 9/11 … another story for me, as I took in my best friend and her cats for a couple of months because she lives in the apartments next to the towers and we helped her with her PTSD for years afterwards. We went to The Pile, on the way to get the cats on the one day they let people in the week after the towers fell. I will never forget it. Of all the days I have to tell the story of why I need a coupon to afford a dress, it has to be the day that sets off my anxiety.

  748. Just checked out the site and it is soooo entertaining! I got carried away with making changes to the styles; it is fun to see all the different looks you can get from one dress. Will definitely make a purchase as soon as I can stop playing.

  749. The silhouette of the second dress is especially flattering on you! Customizing really appeals tome, despite my indecisiveness. 😉

  750. Jenny – I am reading your chapter called “The Big Quiz”. Guess what, I feel a lot like you and guess what else? A lot of people do! I just want to let you know I think you are AMAZING! I don’t want to sound all psycho and shit but I LOVE U! You are beautiful inside and out, charming, witty and so hilarious! I really look up to you for honestly sharing your life struggles with all of us. It makes me feel better about myself. I’m 51 and still learning to love myself. I struggle with a General Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder. It really helps reading your stories, just to know I’m not alone and also that there aren’t any rules to these disorders. That’s why they are called DISORDERS. Anyway, I’m finishing your book now and will put a nice review on good reads (a site I’m on All the time – can’t handle Facebook, it’s too overwhelming).
    Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next book! – Debbie Wilcox, Marketing Admin and Female Soldier Veteran.

  751. Oh yeah – also, what gets me through most days? I wake up and usually think in my head, “Debbie, don’t Fuck anything up today.” Usually I don’t, but that is just where my mind usually goes. – Debbie Wilcox

  752. Dude I’m a few pages away from finishing “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir” and came to your site to see the pics of stuffed animals because on the Kindle the pics are tiny. Loved the book. I’d never heard of you before picking it up, bought it after searching for recommendations for something funny to read. Was not disappointed. I’m looking forward to catching up on your other books . Thank you and hello from Ireland!!!

  757. WOW! so many folks chiming in on this subject…i don’t think I’ve ever seen a blogpost with 2000 comments :))
    …Have to agree… pockets are ALWAYS good! And that site is super cool for clothes 🙂 One thing I use daily that works with any outfit… my portapocket … it’s super easy to help me carry what I need, no matter what I’m wearing, and can go casual to black tie.
