the ladies at shabby apple asked if i would review one of their dresses... doi. of course i will.
i worked closely with their intern Lyndsey to find the perfect versatile black dress (would you believe me if i told you i didn't have one? i don't!) that would also compliment my post-baby bod.
aka hide the cinnamon roll dough tummy.

she said all the mamas at shabby love the "5 to 9" dress, so i said - send it over!
they were right:
01. the jersey is lightweight enough for summer, but thick enough that you don't need a slip. +bonus!they were right:
02. the rouching at the waist masks any cinnabun you got going. headed to dinner? eat all you want, no one will know. +bonus!
03. the dress is perfectly detailed with rouching in the sleeves & the side secretary-style bow-- you can accessorize or just leave it be.
04. fab enough for any luxe event you've got, yet you could totally sleep in it if you want.
♥
here's a better look at the neckline, and i added some touches that make it totally warm weather appropriate.
do you want one, too?
i thought so.
