Then, while three months pregnant I found out they made a maternity line! Husby and I had just booked our vacation to Anguilla with Babes and it seemed like the perfect opportunity! I happily ordered away. It fit like a button on vacation and afterwards it was set aside in hopes that the dress would still fit once the warm weather rolled around.
I didn’t have to wait long.
For Babes's ladybug birthday party, my sister (Me Sew Crazy) made Babes the most adorable ladybug dress and guess what matched to a tee? My Shabby Apple dress - Finding Out!
- Champs Elysees (little blue dress anyone?)
- Seven Seas in Seersucker
- Happy Talk
- San Gabriel
So once again, I scoured the women’s dresses in search of the perfect dress to giveaway and after much back and forth
I’ve been dreaming about our Roman Holiday for quite some time now - reminiscing about all the fun we had and how I can’t wait to go back when our kids are older. This dress would have been perfect for touring the churches and heading straight to dinner afterwards.
Well, a girl can dream.
Until then, this number would be perfect with a little faux glow at a summer picnic or barbecue and it'll bring you right into fall with it’s earthy tones!

I would love to wear something European on the Spanish steps like a simple outfit with a pashmina. preppysouthernprincess@gmail.com
I wish I could say that I would wear it on my next European adventure. Alas, I have no such vacay planned! Instead I would wear it ALL the time to work as I live in dresses in the summer and this is perfectly polished for my office!!
Shabby Apple carries gorgeous clothes!!
I will be in Europe this Summer... and yes, it would be perfect for wearing then!

I would envision myself wearing it to me and Big Man's rehearsal dinner. I've been looking for a dress and haven't found one yet
I was just in Rome last month and I agree this dress would have been perfect. I live in Germany and would definitely wear this dress out to dinner with my husband or to a wine festival.
This would be the perfect post-baby dress for me to wear to pick my hubby up from the airport! He's been in Korea for the last three months.

Liked you on facebook and already liked Shabby Apple.
Lovely dresses. Right up my alley. I would wear that dress this summer to my Uncles 60th birthday BBQ. No trips planned this summer but a girl can dream (Scotland, Florence, Ireland....sigh).
Totally cute. I'd wear it for an evening out dining al fresco with the husband this summer.

I envision wearing this dress on a romantic getaway with my husband. We need some time away. Love my kids to death but lie has been so hectic with them...we need to just steal away and have some fun!
The Spanish steps in rome was magnificent. When we went I dont think we realized how amazing it was until I for much older. I hope my hubby and I get to go one day:-) email address: Dapancakes@gmail.com
I have many weddings to go to this summer so I'm thinking that this will be the dress for them. ambrerose at(aol) dot(com)
