Design for Shabby Apple

Ever since I found out about Shabby Apple, an online retailer, I've continuously gone back to their site to check out the latest pieces. Shabby Apple dresses are absolutely beautiful, designed to fit a woman perfectly. So when I found out about their Dare to Design contest (which obviously was not too long ago, considering my last minute entry), I knew I wanted to take on this challenge!



I've always loved fashion from the 50's, especially the dresses, so that served as my main inspiration.
Dress 1: I imagine a bodice of silver satin with a sweetheart neckline that cascades into a flowy chiffon skirt. A 3/4 sleeve lace overlay with a scalloped v-neck will go over the bodice. A little bit of lace detail will go into the top part of the skirt and will gradually thin out as it moves down.


Dress 2: 

• boat neck
• 3/4 sleeves with button detailing
• avocado green color
• full skirt
• bow that ties in front at upper waist
• calico fabric

Dress 3:

• Peter pan collar
• polyester or woven cotton
• deep purple/maroon that fades into a red
• 3/4 sleeve figure hugging bodice
