Negin Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 like that. Can you suggest your favorite sites? Everywhere I go has nothing to write home about - Macy's, Ann Taylor, Nordstrom, J. Crew, Land's End, you name it. I'm tired of wearing trousers and shorts. I prefer knee length or around there. And I hate sleeveless. Thank you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Check out Shabby Apple. www.shabbyapple.com They have lots for pretty dresses, skirts, and tops, and all of their stuff is knee-length or longer, with sleeves. They can be pricey, but the quality is great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Mod cloth too. However, double check on their lengths. They can be a bit short if you're not careful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Xuzi and Fairfarmhand, thank you both so much. I remember hearing about both of those sites here, but I'd forgotten about them. Thanks for the reminder. :) I can't figure out why I'm having such a hard time finding clothes that I like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I've had really good luck with eshakti dresses made to my measurements. Most dresses, even if they're sleeveless, have the option to change the sleeve option. All have the ability to specify length based on your height. Mrs Mungo originally turned the board onto them, if I recall correctly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMommy Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Pinup Girl. They have amazing patterns that are one-of-a-kind. Their Jenny skirts are my favorite. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink&bluemommy Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I thought I was the eshakti spokeswoman! Love them! I think I have 12 dresses in my closet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I have actually found a lot of cute skirts at Target and Old Navy. I like the comfy stretchy maxi skirts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethB Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I am allergic to polyester and have found some interesting things at wintersilks and vermount country store. Since they are silk and cotton respectively, they are a bit different and more comfy than the general dresses and skirts of today. http://wintersilks.blair.com/t/women/dresses-skirts/pc/207/213.uts http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/store/jump/Women&aposs/Dresses_and_Skirts/Dresses/cat900008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Possibly check this web site out. I have seen an "Extra" about it, several times, when viewers in the USA are shown commercials. They say up to 90% off on name brand used clothing... I know you were not thinking about used clothing, but if there is a huge price differential, it might be worth trying. https://www.liketwice.com/ OT: Before you buy on any online site, check on RetailMeNot to see if they have a discount code you can use... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Another vote for eshakti! They almost always have some kind of promotion going on so you can buy a dress for around $40 - not bad at all!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Watch modcloth. I sent the stuff I ordered back. Sizing was wonky and some of the stuff was very poorly made. Eshakti is great. They also have good deals from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMommy Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Oh my word, I am in LOVE! Does the sizing run true to the listed measurements? For the most part. Reading the reviews, I discovered a few items where people suggested sizing up, so I did, and that was a good move. But everything else has run true to size. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Eshakti is offering a $30 gift certificate for signing up with your email. That's a pretty great deal! Things are on sale now for 35% off--pretty things! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thank you all so much. I've been having fun browsing and bookmarking several of these sites. Check out Shabby Apple. www.shabbyapple.comThey have lots for pretty dresses, skirts, and tops, and all of their stuff is knee-length or longer, with sleeves. They can be pricey, but the quality is great. I love their outfits. Thank you, Xuzi! I placed an order. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
