Shabby Apple Review and Giveaway

Question: Why am I jumping around like a little girl in these photos?

Answer:
1) Spring is here.
2) Shabby Apple, one of my favorite womens' wear labels, has given me their Le Coeur dress to review.
3) The dress makes me want to sing like Maria from West Side Story: "I feel pretty".
4) Shabby Apple is also giving a Le Coeur dress to one of my readers.



The Basics
Shabby Apple sells dresses for women, girls and babies. As owners Emily and CK put it, Shabby Apple dresses are:

A return to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything...no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!).


The Bongga
Once again, Shabby Apple has hit the spot! This dress is absolutely perfect for the spring. I love the combination of mango and pomegranate colors (what a delicious way to describe them!), and the silky stretch top makes it so comfortable. Like all Shabby Apple dresses, it's ultra-feminine and sexy without being revealing, and it has that hint of irresistible vintage glamour.

With such va-va-voom style, you'd think you'd be paying hundreds of dollars, but other than their bridesmaid dress collection and a handful of silk dresses, most of Shabby Apple's dresses cost less than $100. Not only that, most of them can be washed in cold water (goodbye, high dry cleaning bills).


The Blah
Notes for this dress state that it is cut generously. I disagree; I think it fits true to size. Also, I'm not sure why the zipper at the back has to be silver. Couldn't they find one in the same pomegranate color as the top? Or is it part of the design? Finally, I'm not looking forward to ironing that skirt!


The Bottom Line
Shabby Apple dresses are fun and flirty, flattering and feminine. Check out their latest fashions, you're sure to find a dress you love.
