The British high street is fabulous. In fact on returning from my recent jaunts in The States I was even more convinced of the fact that we have one of the best in the world. However there is something I need to get off my chest. Is there a particular reason that even the most body-conscious stores only seem to stock dresses that are way above the knee/way below a reasonable neckline and cut seriously tight? Is it too much to ask for a shop that stocks dresses to fit, you know, women that aren’t size 8 teenagers? I’m only 27 for goodness sake, I don’t think I’m ready to shop in Marks & Spencer just yet.
Well dear reader have I got a treat for you because I’ve just been made aware of the fabulous Shabby Apple, a US based company who ship worldwide! Their women’s dresses are designed for…shock horror…real women!
I particularly love their sizing guide (explained in measurements as well as standard dress sizes) to make sure your purchase will fit you perfectly. Being the owner of a larger than average sized boobs, I often have trouble with finding dresses to fit my ample bazookas… but not any more!
I’m Wearing:
♥ Going Steady dress by Shabby Apple
♥ Black, grey & orange wedges by Stylist’s Pick
♥ Silver & black heart headband by Janine Basil

What would be more wonder-ous than a vintage tea party with your very own vintage inspired dress?!? So flattering and unusual, perfect for relaxing with a cuppa earl grey and french-fancy. http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1411-frabjous-day.aspx/
So I was having a read of this site for inspiration, as my lady loves it and always natters on at me to do so, when I stumbled upon this comp. I think she would look blooming lovely in this 50′s styled number http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-926-pina-colada.aspx/
What an awesome selection of clothes, and good value!
I choose this dress http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-439-carnival.aspx Very grown up for me, yet I just imagine spinning round in circles in it (not so grown up I guess)
I love the settings in which these dresses are photographed – so inspiring and ethereal. I choose: http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1414-alice.aspx because the colour is just gorgeous!
Dresses for normal women like me? What a novel idea!! Shabby Apple has incredible designs! I really like the 16 Candles: http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-47-16-candles.aspx
And Kat, your blog is amazing!
Stunning clothes for curvaceous cats! I’d pick “Overboard” perfect for my upcoming Summer trip to California, all the way from lil ol’ New Zealand, to show them what it really means to be from ‘down under’!
http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1052-overboard.aspx
Apparently I really want a shirt dress, because I narrowed my choice down to four shirt dresses. I think the ‘A+’ blue shirt dress is my favorite. The length is just right and I could definitely wear it teaching!
http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1219-a.aspx
This is such a wonderful giveaway! Thank you Kat!
They are all perfection but my absolute favorite is the one you are wearing! The Going Steady http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1329-going-steady.aspx
Ooh fab little find, I can’t pick! I am in love with Bellissma but also Alice. I think Alice for the versatility. Teal tights with red pumps or oodles of pearls and graceful heals!
http://shabbyapple.com/p-1414-alice.aspx
So pretty and so many! I would absolutely love to win the i’m late i’m late dress…link….http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1472-im-late-im-late-preorder.aspx
i am such a lace girl. it is so pretty & femine but with a twist….very rock and roll bride!!!! my fingers are firmly crossed. good luck to all you other ladies xxx
I love Shabby Apple! It would be so fab to win a dress from them, specifically the Tea Time dress. http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1419-tea-time.aspx The purple is too fantastic.
I love the Rosso floor length dress: http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-957-rosso.aspx
Between the dramatic length, the bright red, and the great neckline, I’m sold. I love a good maxi dress for summer, but I have a hard time finding any I would actually wear
.
http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1054-walk-the-plank.aspx
Oh, I LOVE Shabby Apple! And I love what they stand for…I always hate buying a dress I love and it’s usually strapless (which I hate) so then I have to buy a cardigan or a shrug to match…aaargh!
Red Queen for me!
http://shabbyapple.com/p-1413-the-red-queen.aspx
Can’t decide between Too Darn Hot or Ski Bop, which is basically the same dress in red or maroon. I usually go with red, so maybe it’s time to mix it up a bit
The ruffles are awesome!
http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-786-too-darn-hot.aspx
http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-787-ski-bop.aspx
Nice find Kat – thankyou for sharing.
I love the colour and detailing on this orgeous teal number http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-722-sierra-nevada.aspx
I looked at every dress on the website and there are so many that I love!!! I had the hardest time choosing just one… really wish it was in my budget to go on a little shopping spree
). BUT if I HAD to choose just one to have, I would love to have Tea Time. I love vintage-looking lace and I fell in love with the sleeves and the gorgeous purple color. I’d love to rock this dress both at work and at play
http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1419-tea-time.aspx
I love Shabby Apple (and like them on FB). I’ve had my eye on the Piazza Navona dress! http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-958-piazza-navona.aspx

Oh man, that Carnival dress is amaaaaaze. http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-439-carnival.aspx
The color! And the cut! I would have to tell people in the street to stop staring at me and my pear-shaped bod.
@Rock n’Roll Bride & Shabby Apple: thanks for turning me on to such an awesome store. I think the Rodeo Drive dress is fantastic, lots of lacy without being matronly: https://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1323-rodeo-drive.aspx
