It was like Christmas when my dress came in the mail! It was wrapped so neatly in some olive and lime tissue paper. I hardly wanted to destroy the cute packaging, but how could I not tear right through it to get to my dress!
My first dress was actually the Anchors Away, but I did not notice the "This dress FITS SMALL a slightly snug, 'true to size'" in my ordering excitement. I put on the dress and LOVED it, but they do not lie when they say it fits snug. I worried that when I washed it, it would become a little too snug. So I sent the dress back (it cost like $2) and they sent me the Nine to Five Dress.

When I pulled it out of the packaging I was a little scared at first. It was so not what I would have chosen. I was worried I would look like a potato sack. It was a lot of Jersey and I was scared that my tummy bulge would be out for everyone to see. The horror. To my wonderful surprise, the minute I put it on I fell in love! The color and details were amazing! I am letting someone else choose for me from now on!
The hubs went on and on about how HOT I looked. Not a bad response to receive. I wore it to church on Valentine's Day and I have never received so many compliments including "You're looking great!" and "I love your dress, you look amazing and tiny!" I had heads turning as I walked down the hall. One of my friends said, "I love all the details. it makes it look so modern."
Did you like my little fashion show right there? Add a belt, wear it plain, mix it up. Did I mention the comfort level? It was like walking around snuggled in the softest, yet nicely breathable blanket. I could live in this dress, though I would take it off to wash it once in a while.
So now that I have expressed my deep and undying love for my Shabby Apple Five to Nine dress, I would like to do what I call a little Shabby Apple runway show. Here is a little preview of some of my faves (click on the pics to be taken to that item's page):
Oh and uh, did I mention the accessories? Love, love, LOVE!

YOu look so cute! I love the dress-especially the color.
You look fab! And what tummy bulge? Impossible with how tiny you are. My fave is that purple dress in the top right of your "fashion show" collage. So pretty!
