The kind folks at Shabby Apple asked whether I'd like to host a giveaway here for one of their beautiful vintage-inspired dresses, and while I don't usually go in for product endorsement (unless I genuinely find it myself) I couldn't resist this one. The winner of the giveaway will be sent the dress of her choice, you can have a look here to see what you'd like should you be the winner. The dress will be shipped anywhere in the world.

The reasons why I like Shabby Apple as a company: they donate a percentage of their profits to women's charities, they have a great training/intern programme, they have an 'especially for redheads' section, support up-and-coming designers, have good maternity dresses on offer and sweet international-inspired clothing (like this Pacific range, for example.) They also offer a 'practically perfect' sale whereby you can buy amazing garments at a much reduced price if you're prepared to sew on a button or fix a small hole somewhere (good for crafty types, don't you think?)

Shabby Apple are also offering all my readers a 20% off coupon – just add the code 'tinyhappy20off' at checkout and your discount will be applied. This is good for 30 days.

To enter the giveaway, you need to 'like' the Shabby Apple facebook page, and leave a comment here to confirm. You could also tell me which dress you would choose, if you'd like to. I will leave the giveaway open for a week and draw a winner randomly next Friday. Good luck and have a happy weekend!

    They not only have gorgeous dresses and skirts, but jewelry and a wonderful “arts & crafts” section. 🙂 I’m not sure what I would pick if I could have any dress, but I do like the new Alice dress, or the lovely Champs Elysees dress from their Oh La La collection.

    Gorgeous dresses! I can’t “like” their facebook page as I refuse to be a member of facebook… however, I do “like” their dresses a lot, and will spread the word about their website… would that make me eligible for the giveaway? 🙂

    Hi Melissa,
    My mom told me about your blog years ago and I’ve been hooked since! I love looking at your ideas here and on Pinterest and imagining my future home. It is great fun.
    The dress rightfully named “dressage” is a lovely piece that would be a classic and feminine addition to any wardrobe!

    no WONDER you couldnt resist! Shabby Apple…such lovelies they have. I am dilemma’ing about the sponsor/giveaway/profit or not-for-profit bloggy questions at the moment. With integrity. But still…
    Anyway, thanks for the lovely sidetrack through shabby apples racks…the academia collection’s bookworm dress or their dorm room blouse is just divine. x

    What a great company! If I did win the give away I would like the dress to be chosen and sent to my friend who lives in Carterton, she is a red head and would love to have a new frock. I used to live on Wellington and miss it very much. My fav op-shop was the salvo at Mirimar. X
