Never underestimate the power of the perfect dress.
One that can turn heads and elicit multiple compliments will probably last a very long time in a woman's closet. It's not easy to find that one dress you absolutely love more than anything else you own.
Shabby Apple, with its beautiful selection of classy designs, may very well have that dress that makes everyone look twice . . . in a good way.
Simplicity is what Athelia CK Woolley and Emily Bell McCormick had in mind when they first began Shabby Apple, according to the site.
"A return to what dresses were always meant to be -- a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything . . . no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!)," reads the large text in the "About Us" section.
But don't think that simple means plain, because there is nothing boring about Shabby Apple's designs. Besides beautiful dresses, Shabby Apple also has lovely jewelry, headbands, shoes, bags and more.
