I love having things custom fit for me. It's so hard to get a good fit in off-the-rack clothes, and with eShakti you also get to pick hem length, sleeves, neckline and a new thing where you can choose the fabric from one garment and have it made into another style. If I had all the money in the world, this is where all my clothes would come from.

EDIT: Prices have jumped recently, no surprise, but they only guarantee your first three purchases for fit, and I guess after that you are at their mercy for whether it fits or not, even paying the extra to customize. They are pretty bad about answering emails and when asked what happens to a custom fit after the third garment, they failed to answer ever. So if you are buying ready to wear or are okay paying for a fit that might not work (sister has had some bad experiences with things not working out) then they do still have quality fabrics and work. But I'm a lot more jaded now that they aren't really backing up their guarentee policies. Disappointing.

Solstice Scents is one of my favorite indi fragrance sites. They do perfume oils as well as EDP styles, and the variety is lovely. More than perfumes, these are moods; each scent is like a photograph or a memory captured in scent. The site has links to the accompanying forums where people review their experiences with various fragrances from Solstice Scents and I've found them to be a good collection of honest reviews, and very helpful while browsing the catalog. If you like unique fragrances and fun browsing, I can't recommend this enough.

Quick ship times, reasonable shipping prices, fantastic vintage items, great selection. I've shopped with this company for many years now and Jan's Jewels never fails to deliver excellence. If I need something hard to find, iI look here first every time.
