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!

    Thanks for offering this lovely giveaway chance and for letting me know about Shabby Apple. I had not heard of them before, but when I checked out their website the dresses and styles are just beautiful! I have “liked” Shabby Apple on facebook now. It’s so hard to choose just one dress, but I think I would choose “Antiquated”, a stunning but simple black dress. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win one 🙂

    How lovely! I’d like to join the giveaway please! I’d go for so many of the dresses, but I do love “Yorkshire”, “Atlantic Fog”, “Bon Voyage” or “Nazca”!
    Also, I’ve just been catching up with a few of your older blog posts after a busy week or several. Can I just say how much I love your ‘Vita’ print in the reduced size? It’s so pretty and intricate, and whilst I liked the original, I totally love the smaller one. Gorgeous!

    I just LOVE Shabby Apple but have never been able to justify a purchase due to the international shipping! I’m a big fan of their modest dresses that are still modern and attractive! I love the “Lighthouse Dress,” but the “Walk the Plank” dress is also so cute and colorful. Oh gosh, how to decide?

    Hi Melissa! Thank you for the giveaway. I now “like” Shabby Apple on Facebook.
    I would choose the Coco Bean dress because it is a simple but elegant shirt dress that is not too dressy. I love the chocolate brown too.
    Oh, to win.

    Oh my gosh – I stalk their site to admire their beautiful dresses…(liked!) I don’t know what I’d pick? Maybe the new red lace Alice dress, or the yellow poplin that has been on my wishlist for a while. Thanks for sharing! I also wanted to let you know that I made your delicious cheese scone recipe this week to much success (my bookclub love them!) and blogged about it. Thank you!

    I haven’t heard of Shabby Apple yet, they’ve got a really lovely range! So I’ll take a chance on this giveaway. I liked the page already, but it’s hard to pick a favourite. I would probably go for the Frabjous Day dress, as I’m really craving some colorful patterns for spring after this long and cold winter over here.
    Thank you for your ever-inspirational posts!
