I'm obsessed with Ingrid!
#2 anna Waldrop on 2010-04-02 12:40
i LOVED the casablanca dress in the 1943 collection. It was so elegant and reminded me of Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffanys. definitely bookmarking this website!
#3 Lauren (Homepage) on 2010-04-02 12:40
I hope it's ok but I chose two dresses today. Of course, I saw many that I really liked, but my favs are the atlantic fog and baja.
#4 Patti on 2010-04-02 12:46
All those dresses are so beautiful! I am absolutely in love with the sheep meadow dress, it's a perfect summer dress :-)
#5 Ming on 2010-04-02 13:01
Love the San Gabriel dress. Modern farm girl chic is what it says to me, and it says it perfectly. Great price, too!
#6 Clara (Homepage) on 2010-04-02 13:03
the "jody maxman" please, it's been on my list of things to buy/dream about for a year!
#7 colett (Homepage) on 2010-04-02 13:07
It has to be the Carnival dress in the Carousel collection. The cut looks like it could flatter a curvier shape. I like the femininity combined with the military-style buttons on the side.
#8 Jessie on 2010-04-02 13:12
I love the Midtown dress. Awesome giveaway!
#9 Jen (Homepage) on 2010-04-02 13:13
They are such lovely dresses - great for any occasion, from work to a night out on the town. My favorite is Rosarita - perfect for any occasion, cute and stylish!
#10 Angel on 2010-04-02 13:14
My favorite is the Carnival Blue Wrap Dress:
http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-439-carnival.aspx

It looks like it would be flattering on any body type (or mine, at least). The A-line skirt probably hides a bit. ;-)
#11 Leah Felicity (Homepage) on 2010-04-02 13:17
Loving the Upper East Side in the sophisticated line. That blue is so standout-y. Would really pop with some nice statement jewlry.
#12 T. on 2010-04-02 13:18
Ohh. So pretty. Tough pic between the casually flirty Sheep Meadow and the more sophisticated and sassy Fifth Ave, but I think I'm gonna have to go with Sheep Meadow.
#13 Fiona on 2010-04-02 13:20
definitely Casablanca!
#14 Elle on 2010-04-02 13:24
Ballerina looks lovely!

I'm stuck between the Casablanca and the West Coast Swing! So pretty!
#18 Joy on 2010-04-02 13:35
ooh, I remember last time you posted stuff about shabby apple, of the stuff I don't remember seeing last time I looked, I like the Truman dress: http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-505-truman.aspx

I think the reason I didn't get stuff from them before is because I'm not a big fan of polyester and rayon being the main/only material on my body. ick.
#19 Justine on 2010-04-02 13:36
The Casablanca dress is just amazing and beautiful!
#20 Christina on 2010-04-02 13:38

Love, love the san gabriel dress..perfect for spring and summer
#53 kaneesha on 2010-04-02 16:20

#57 Rebekah on 2010-04-02 17:21
Allelujuah! Thank God for Shabby Apple! I've been looking for longer skirts and dresses with actual SLEEVES for years. I'm loving the Fifth Ave dress, but the Marseilles is so clean and playful too!

(I just added you on Facebook and I've been following your tweets for months! :-D)
#58 Alyssa (Homepage) on 2010-04-02 18:05

My favorite is the carnival dress. Thanks for sharing a great site.
#63 lan on 2010-04-02 19:23
The dresses are amazing! All of them. It's really hard to choose since so many of them have the exact silhouettes that I like, but I think it's a tie between the G. Cooper and the anchors away dress.
#64 Sarah on 2010-04-02 19:29
The purple ballerina dress is my favorite. I've been wanting to order from Shabby Apple forever - dresses with SLEEVES! Finally.

But if I must, Carousel. LOVE the fabric and styling.
#98 Kristin S (Homepage) on 2010-04-03 21:48
There are so many great dresses on that site, it is really difficult to choose a favorite. But ever since discovering their site I've had a particular weakness for the Cleopatra dress. Elegant and dangerous.

#105 Katherine on 2010-04-04 07:41
OK, if must choose one, its "Mediterranean", but 2nd is Fifth Ave. Thought this site would be another full of short/minis,but happily surprised. Calvin Klein, watch out. Affordable, great cuts and styles.

This one! It matches my eyes.
#107 Leanna on 2010-04-04 09:36
