Want your own, unique dress for Christmas but are wildly inadequate on the sowing machine? There's hope. Almost Do It Yourself! Go to Styleshake.com, pick fabric, design a dress and have a couture creation delivered at your home within 10 days.
It's really that simple! The dresses are made by high quality professionals and the choice of fabrics is amazing. Virtual models show the design you're compiling. The service is aimed at both lovers of unique styles who can't afford the real brands and do not have the skills to create themselves.
It is an original idea for Christmas no doubt. If you live in London and decide to take out a dress, consider your own glitzy photoshoot as well.
The site offers to organize a shoot at a London studio, with a professional photographer and a makeup artist. The photo will be uploaded on StyleShake.
Looking at the gallery you also get an idea of just how the dresses turn out. If you are worried that you might order a mis-fitting creation, just look for models with the same body shape as you. The great thing is that people shown on the gallery are not all size 6 with thighs that are fully submerged. Nevertheless there's still a slight risk involved in ordering a dress that you haven't personally fitted.
