A Flying Flower

The butterfly is a flying flower,
The flower a tethered butterfly.
~Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun

For reasons I can’t exactly articulate, I really like that quote. And while flowers and butterflies are both equally unique & beautiful in real life, I also think they are equally as fun as prints.

However, I’m always drawn to florals when selecting a dress. I think this is because finding butterfly print clothing just isn’t as common. It can be a rather unique find. And that’s not the only thing unique about this dress. I had ordered it through eShakti so I was not only able to customize this size, but I was also able to choose if I wanted sleeves and what kind, the length of the dress and if I wanted pockets. (I’m curious, does anyone ever NOT want pockets? Haha.)

I’ve featured eShakti on my blog before, but it has been a while. For those of you who are new here, eShakti is a clothing company that gives you the option to customize your own size clothing as well as customize the style of the clothing to your liking. (A $9.95 fee does apply now for this.) I really like this idea! Especially since I then have the option to add sleeves and make every dress I want midi length – it’s perfect!

Have you ever ordered from eShakti? How did you like it? And are there any other butterfly fans out there? Let me know in the comments!
