eShakti just sent me a survey, which I dutifully filled out in the hopes of getting better options.
However, in a list of13 garments to give feedback on, there were on 3 tops (2 of which were the exact same cowl top in different colors) and 1 pair of trousers -- everything else was dresses.
Considering out of everything I've bought from eShatki over several years, I've bought 1 dress, 1 skirt, and 2 trousers, with everything else being a top - mostly shirts with a smattering of jackets (and if you know me IRL, you know I love jackets).
You'd think they'd be asking me about their shirts and jackets, not dresses. I don't buy dresses.
Basically I suggested the following:
That said, eShakti is still one of the few places doing mass customization of women's clothes at a price point many people can afford, and I've been quite happy with almost everything I've bought from them.

Basically I suggested the following:
- More princess seaming
- Use darker skinned models for some of the items, especially with colors that would look good on them
- Trousers must have pockets! No pockets, no sale!
- Trousers should have a length option appropriate for people wearing flats.
- More blazers
- The boatneck is not a great neckline
- Offer the square neckline option more often
- Less waist seams on tops
- Given actual fiber percentages for poly/cotton blends
- How about you actually make a line of pantsuits?
