So, I finally took the plunge and bought a Shabby Apple dress. You didn't think I'd become their "affiliate" and put their button on my sidebar if I hadn't tried them out, did you?

The fit of the dress is fantastic, even though you can't tell from these pictures. Taking pictures with a dog who likes to run around you in circles is not a wise idea in a form fitting dress.

This dress is very well made and hugs the curves in all the right places. There was one small problem with the dress: the arm holes were teeny tiny. Yeah the arm holes were too small, my arms are not too big. Although, I have been working out at the gym. Ok, it's because I am super ripped and can punch through walls. I couldn't even get my hulk arms into the arm holes. So, I broke out my seam ripper and just ripped the sleeves off. I'm not entirely sure why I own a seam ripper, since I have no business doing any sort of garment work. But, the horror of my at home alterations were easily covered by a cardigan. Now I just have to find someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to alterations. I was too impatient to bring it to a seamstress.
