To celebrate me finally adding an "email me!" link to A Dress A Day, I'm giving away this dress. It's one I made a while ago and while I like it, I never, ever have worn it. For one thing, it's navy blue, a color I usually run screaming from (blame Too Much Catholic School–although funny, that didn't ruin the Peter Pan collar …).
It will fit a 36-38" bust, a 30" or so waist, probably hips up to 45" — the skirt is fairly full.
How exactly do you win it, you ask? Just use the new email link (on the right, at the bottom) to send me a link to a dress you like, and tell me why you like it! The dress that I like best will win this dress, and it (and a couple runners-up, if I get more than one I like, which seems highly likely) will be featured on A Dress A Day. Please include the name you'd like your find to be credited with (it doesn't have to be your Realio Trulio Name). Don't worry about sending me your mailing address; I'll email for it if you win.
I should also point out that the dress is made of polyblend shantung. This probably means I will get no entrants. (But it's nice polyblend shantung!)
Employees of A Dress A Day (as if!) and their families are not eligible to win. Cash value of prize: your guess is as good as mine. (If you end up selling it on Ebay let me know what you get for it.) T-shirt on dress form not included. Winner can ask to have "Made For You With Loving Care by Erin" label sewn in; I've never used any of the ones my aunt gave me ten years ago.
Any other questions? Ask me in the comments …
Could you tell me what the measurement is from armpit to waist? May compete anyway (but I have work to do today!) but I’m so longwaisted I don’t want to win if it will never fit!
