Verification word: 'waridens' (n.), fierce fashion warriors whose signature move is a sharpened stilleto to the eye.
Oh thats is a gorgeous dress. I saw it and my brain started plotting what I will wear with it if I win! Must get my hands on a pair of bright blue tights!
... does this offer include those of us not in the USA? *crosses fingers*
I love your blog, but I've never commented. I guess giving away a dress that is so pretty and spring-y is a good way to make me come out of the woodwork! :-)
Abi likey the pretty dress on Daddy Likey :p
oooh, stripes, collar and wrap around front - totally my kind of dress!
Anna--
hahaha that's brilliant!
Miss Addict--
Shabby Apple only ships to the US, but if you (or any other international reader) wins, you can have your dress shipped to me and I'll ship it to you!
Miss Kumquat--
Glad to see you out in the sunlight! :)
It's nom nom nom nautical. It would go perfectly with a straw boater.
I was checking out the dress on the gorgeously tall model...wondering exactly where the dress hem would fall on short ol' me...debating if I should leave a comment...thinking the coat rack even looks taller than me.
And then I was like what the hell am I worrying about the proportions for...IT'S FREE!
Thanks for commenting on my blog! That dress makes me want to buy a yacht or go on a picnic or something. Le Sigh.
Whoa. Blog giveaways have reached new heights! This might be the best one in the history of the friggin' internet. Yes, I do believe it is.
So gorgeous!
that is a gorgeous dress!
Ooh, yay! That's absolutely gorgeous. Good luck to me.
*hopes she's lucky* this is gorgeous.
I love it! Is this open outside the US? Great competition :)
Is it open to non-US folks? I'm in the UK but I've been looking for something like this for ages :)
Ooh gorgeous dress! I hope this is open outside the US? (Does accidental rhyming increase chances?)
omg it's perfect! it's totally my style too *HINTHINT*
but really, the girl who wins it is one lucky chick!
Cute dress!
I need itttttttt. >< (And then i explode.)
I think this is such a cute dress... think it would be fantastic for a beautiful summer day!

I haven't been drooling after a dress this much ever.

Yes please! I would like a free dress! I'm ever so broke and the Elvis collar is making me twitch.
Super Cute - I haven't worn a dress since my wedding -- that was 9 years ago. (Cue dramatic music).
Adorable! This is perfect for wandering around on a spring day.

Hello! I found your blog a little while ago and it's become a new favorite.
I've been going through an "I hate everything I own and hate everything I see EXCEPT THIS DRESS" thing lately and so I wait and hope. :3
Oh cute! I'm about to have a baby and I think this dress would be kind to a post-baby body.
Ooh! I love wrap dresses. So flattering.
Cuteness! And love the blog to an inordinate degree.
so perfect for spring! i want to swish around in a field of grass...
I LOVE Shabby Apple. Pick me.
I could use a large dose of fabulous!!!!
Oh, Please pick me as the random winner! LOL. Name is D'Rae, but you already know that.
This is the answer to my summer wedding sartorial question. Love the dress, love the blog.

Super cute! I would totally pop the collar on that dress, the way the mannequin's doing.
I have blue tights that would so match that dress! I have a couple of ocassions to wear that dress coming! One question - why don't you keep it yourself? ;)

Karolina
It's fabulous!! I love the mensware influence!
OMG! Please pick me! That is my new favorite dress, I will wear it every day!
That color is amazing. I wants it!
Stripes! How glorious. And the rest of the dresses at Shabby Apple's site looks pretty sweet, too.
How can I say no to a dress that is so Gatsby-esque? Next thing you know, I'll be flouncing around piers and crying into piles of multicoloured silk shirts.
Pleaseee...?
Me Me ME!
oohhh nice :D
sort of a waitress in a diner vibe ;p
I'm pretty sure my Aunt Zelma wore that dress while posing in a plowed wheat field in 1953.
Wow, that would be pretty fantastic...
So cute! Here's hoping!
Mandy S.

I was going to make my friend Amy go on that show "How Do I Look?" because her wardrobe is...reality-show worthy. This dress, however, would be gorgeous on her, and I know she would wear it, and it would spare both of us public-day-time-tv humiliation.
For the love of Amy...
Wow Winona - can't believe you are giving such a lovely spring fling of a dress away instead of conspiring some clever way to keep it... Brilliant blue stripathon Shabby Apple!
Love it!!! I love dresses like these, just fabulous!
