With the holiday season coming up, it is time to find that perfect holiday dress, and this year I found just what I was looking for at Shabby Apple. I have been searching for a little black dress, which was a little less “little”, a little more “mature”, and perhaps a bit more appropriate for a mother of three than the little black dresses I have in the closet from my college years.
I found the perfect holiday dress at Shabby Apple, and it has everything I was looking for in my wish for a new sophisticated little black dress. It can be dressed up or down with pearls, shawls, flowers, and more, and it is perfect for a dinner party, a concert, a fun holiday party, or even a romantic dinner out with my husband. I love it!
The Spanish Steps dress from Shabby Apple comes in two colors, tan and black, but the black version immediately called my name.
The tan and black Spanish Steps dresses from Shabby Apple come in sizes XXS – M, and since the Shabby Apple dresses are generous in sizing, you may want to take this into consideration, when choosing the right size for you.
The top part of the dress is made of soft cotton jersey, which is extremely comfortable plus stretchable, and it gives the dress a modest look without loosing the femininity.
The skirt of the dress is made of gorgeous black sateen, which is covered in a bouquet of appliquéd, ruched flowers and leaves. The appliquéd details provide the dress with an extra level of sophistication, and it makes this beautiful dress a one-of-a-kind dress.
A stunning black sash connects the top and the bottom part of the dress, and this is a unique touch which sets it apart from most other black dresses. The sateen is quite luxurious, and together with the sophisticated look of the skirt, it really gives the dress personality.
Before I found the right dress for me, I spent a lot of time browsing the Shabby Apple website, because the number of beautiful, sophisticated dresses seems endless. Whether you are looking for that little black dress, an elegant dress for a wedding, or a light and summery dress for your vacation by the sea, Shabby Apple has something for you. Shabby Apple also sells maternity dresses, swim wear, accessories and even children’s dresses, and the same sophistication which surrounds the Shabby Apple dress collection shines through to all of the clothing and accessories on the Shabby Apple website.
