The first time I heard about Shabby Apple was seeing NieNie in this stunning black dress and I was instantly smitten. Their beautiful colours, gorgeous fabrics, and feminine designs had me completely hooked. Just look at their selection of red dresses!
Then NieNie posted about the gorgeous dresses generously donated by Shabby Apple for a shoot she and her sisters participated in earlier this year. I fell in love with their designs all over again, especially the delectable yellow frock worn by CJane.
You can imagine my delight when Shabby Apple contacted me and asked if I would be interested giving away one of their incredibly beautiful womens dresses to one of you! I immediately jumped at this incredible opportunity and, after I had stopped hyperventilating, emailed them my enthusiastic 'yes, please!'
With so many beautiful designs to choose from, including maternity, plus size, and little girls dresses (I love a company that loves women in all shapes and sizes!), you can easily understand that it took me quite some time to decide on the one dress I thought would be perfect for this giveaway.
Shabby Apple has an incredible selection of vintage-inspired womens dresses, like this stunner from their All That Jazz collection. I was practically drooling over all the delicious details!
How simple is it to picture yourself on an exotic holiday in this gorgeous Spanish Steps dress?
Oh, the choices!!
To me, nothing says summer like a beautiful white dress. Its crispness, versatility, and femininity is something I find unmatched by any other summer staple. A white dress is beautifully casual paired with flip flops with a well-loved floppy sunhat. For evening, it is easily dressed up with a pair of strappy sandals and a brightly coloured shawl to ward of the evening chill.
When I came across Lighthouse, I knew I had found the perfect dress:
"Cool layers of white cotton lawn dip and duck into the nipped waist of this hollywood starlet-inspired summer frock. Perfect for a cruise, this sunny double layer dress sports an under-bodice of butter-yellow cotton voile with a bright white bow belt. Pleats at the collar and waist finish it with an expertly tailored appeal. This delightfully done-up dress will take you from the upper deck to an evening stroll around the lighthouse in no time. "
Cotton lawn, nipped waist, pleats, and cotton voile! What more could a girl ask for in a summer dress? I swear, it's like Shabby Apple looked inside my head and came up with my idea of the ultimate white dress.
To win a gorgeous Lighthouse dress, please leave me a comment with your name and email address**. I'd love to hear what you love about this dress and any other favourites you have from Shabby Apple. The giveaway closes on Saturday, May 28th at 11:59 p.m. EST.

I would absolutely wear this dress. Carmencitab at carmencitab dot com
I adore Shabby Apple, altough I haven't been able to afford a dress while I am in graduate school. The vintage inspiration makes their dresses untimely and I could see their garments never going out of style.

Lovely of them to offer you a chance to host a giveaway! I see lots of things I like over on their site, but don't enter me in this contest, because there is no way I'll be wearing a white dress! :)
I have liked Shabby Apple on Facebook too.

Shabby Apple has such lovely designs, and it's so difficult to pick just one, so I am thoroughly impressed you were able to do it!
Thanks so much for having the giveaway!
They do such a nice job with their dresses. Here's hoping I win:)
They have such great dresses! They have a wide variety and I love how you can shop by body shape!

I drool over their stuff...too bad they forgot one size of woman...petite! And I don't mean small, I mean short-waisted and narrow shouldered, etc. I'm a little bitter! ;) But almost no companies sell petite sizes so I don't worry about it too much.
I love Shabby Apple, and I would absolutely be thrilled to own one of their gorgeous dresses! Thanks for the giveaway!
A beautiful dress. Great choice. Is this international. Loving Shabby Apple.

I love, love, love Shabby Apple! I was totally lusting after their Set Sail collection just this week - the Lighthouse dress specifically just adorable! Thanks for hosting this, Sarah! :D

I had never heard of them, totally beautifull. The light house dress is adourable, I love the feel of floaty summer dress but with a good pinch of tayloring of pleats and neckline. what a wonderfull dress!
Thanks for this, is it open to UK? I love shabby apple clothing, so pretty and unusual.
such a beautiful and simple dress :)
I love, love, love the bow. I'd never come across Shabby Apple before reading your post, but now I'm a convert.
tillythecat(at)hotmail(dot)com
I'm not usually into white dresses but that one is really cute. The whole shop is full to bursting with awesome clothes! I especially love the Pina Colada and the Overboard dress... (Mmh, thinking about a gingham Crepe with a red bow...)
Cotton Lawn just might be my favorite fabric to wear (after silk, of course...but who can wear silk all the time?). The dress is adorable! I just realized shabby apple has a swimwear line, and even though I just bought one from j crew I have some ideas in mind for my NEXT suit!
lesthor@gmail.com
I always drool about the designs, but as a student fron Europe I can hardly afford to buy anything from shabby apple!
*keep my fingers crossed*
lene[at]herr-der-mails[dot]de

Fabulous indeed! I have long been eyeing their super elegant wrap dress, Carnivale. But I also love Ooh La La and anything in South Pacific. Love, love. ustreetmove @ gmail dot com.
I love Shabby Apple. I like the pleated collar on this dress. I also like thier L'Artiste dress, among others.
mrs.marcus2 at yahoo dot com
This dress is adorable. I love the fact that it looks like it has a bolero attached, yet it's part of the dress.
If I don't win, I think I may have to buy it for myself. heh
Thanks for hosting this lovely giveaway. :)
LOVE Shabby Apple! This dress is gorgeous! But then again, I love pretty much everything in their Set Sail collection!
That is such a beautiful dress! I am looking to integrate dresses back into my wardrobe this summer (I'm usually in a skirt and shirt every summer). I love the feminine style and how it can be casual or dressed up. I am around younger children more these days, so it's a very appropriate neckline and length too. Love it!
castorandpollux at gmail dot com
This dress would be perfect for my beach vacation in Maine. I love everything about it!
I also love the North Short dress. It is the perfect color for summer!
deveau(dot)kristen(at)gmail.com
Shabby Apple totally rocks. The lighthouse dress is simple enough that you can accessorize it in so many ways.
I must have a Lighthouse dress along with the superpowers it possesses - the ability to totter around a boat in 6" heels while looking complete cool, calm & collected!

What a lovely giveaway, and a cute dress. I like the waist bow, it looks really summery and classic.
(I live in the UK btw so not sure if I'm eligible - I hope so!)
What I really love about this lighthouse dress is the design would totally make anyone's waist look slimmer!! And who couldn't use that? It's beautiful. I also love Shabbyapple's Madison Ave and Sandstone. Beautiful!

LOVE that dress! I would love to win it and wear the heck out of it this summer. Of course, after weeks of rain, I'm not convinced summer is actually coming. ;P

Hi Sarah, great giveaway!
If we pay for postage, could the giveaway be extended to International folk?
I love the Shabby Apple dresses, and would love to wear such a beautiful but simple frock this coming Spring. It would give me some inspiration to get back into my pre-pregnancy shape! I'm going to Europe for the first time later this year and can see myself swanning around Venice in this frock with my babe in my arms, looking very chic!!
I love this dress! Also, the Liz and Darcy is lovely!
