What is this style of dress called?

whoops, sorry

drop waist iirc

Oh, ok. I thought those were the ones where the dress is straight down and then there's a 'waist' below your actual waist?

I...thought so too?

ljub, I don't know if that kind of dress has a particular name tbh. It's a fitted bodice with a natural waist and a box-pleated skirt, made of what looks like jersey or another soft fabric?

I hope that's you wearing it, because a) it looks like an extremely comfortable and useful dress and could be accessorized any which way, and b) the bedroom in the background looks so light and refreshing that I hope it's yours.

it looks like my gradeschool uniform jumper, which i always loved the shape of secretly even though i complained about wearing it every day
i have one that's kinda like that that i like to wear blouses underneath but i don't know what it's called either!

Yes, it is me and my bedroom, which I do like very much! I love the shape and the versatility so will be scouring the internet for something similar. 'Box-pleated skirt', that's what I didn't know how to say.

Love it!

whatever it is, cute.

orbit otm, it's just a natural waist. drop waist falls below the hips.

There are a lot if box pleated dresses on eshakti - I have a green and white gingham sleeveless one with a split neckline, and I just ordered a black one with a shirt style collar. They're also doing a big sale right now and size etc customizations are free!

Time to try them, then! FFM, I think you said the duty for Canadian import was variable?...

It is! I'd try one at a time, bulk orders got me dinged with customs fees but I'd often sneak through if I'd only ordered one. Sometimes I didn't though! Can't say I exactly understand customs fees.

I just got this amazing nightgown mumu maxidress - http://www.evansusa.com/wcsstore/Evans/images/catalog/04J46NMUL_large.jpg

I was afraid it would be shapeless, but it's got some nice drape to it and if I put on a belt, I can even wear it to work. Also, it feels like a nightgown.

Aww, that's cute. Bonus that its comfortable!

To be clear, it is not actually a nightgown. It's supposed to be a dress. It's just a very soft jersey knit. I probably could have gone a size down, but it's not bad enough that I'm going to ship this shit back to England.

Could that dress be called a jumper? I would almost say shift, except I don't think shifts can have waists. xpost

I love those kinds of big flowery red/white patterns on black. Why don't I own any? It is a mystery.

First eshakti order placed, after approx two years of dithering and not ordering anything. Three dresses for $145 including shipping to Canada!

Yay! I hope you love them.

Who knew that above-bust and across-bust measurements are basically the same? How is this possible?

They arrived! Two are great, fit perfectly; one is too long in the body so that the waistband sits wrong, and slightly too large on top in general. Have to decide whether to return it or get it altered.

I wish it wasn't so hit and miss, because those two options are exactly what I encountered. Sometimes perfect, sometimes too big on top.

I got this dress over a year ago, it didn't fit, but I was too lazy to send it back to eShakti:

woo!

It looks great!

All but one of my eshakti dresses are unwearable now because they attract too much dog hair (cotton
(Cotton poplin sucks).

It is a pet hair magnet.

FFM, you look lovely.

Ugh, yes - those cotton dresses do attract everything going. This is some sort of plasticky fabric - takes a bit getting used to but everything slides right off, haha

yeah cotton poplin is the devil's fabric

is that what it is? i havent noticed the fur thing but it feels so vile on my skin. stupid poplin.

FFM you look gorgeous
