Today’s Birthday Celebration giveaway is the dress you see pictured left, which the kind folks at IGIGI were nice enough to let me pick out. Yup, I picked that dress just for this giveaway! Here’s why this dress caught my eye:
1. The jade color is one of my very favorites and I’m just always drawn to it in a big way. Plus, it’s flattering on literally everyone.
2. The deep V neckline, the fluttery sleeve, and the bubble hem collaborate to create a shapely silhouette. You can wear a cami underneath for modesty but I’m all for flaunting the cleavage.
3. I’m usually ambivalent about pockets on a dress but these pockets are an actual design element and not just, y'know, there.
4. I can see this dress being versatile as heck - wear it with heels and big, chunky jewelry or dressed down with flats and a casual bag.
It's just a really cute dress. I think we can all agree on that. Here are the details:
- Fully lined
- Material: Viscose/Elastane
- Care: Dry Clean Only
- Designed and made in San Francisco, USA
- Available in sizes 12, 14/16 – 30/32
- Retail value is $98
Update: This contest is closed. Thanks to all who entered!

I wonder how other... well-endowed ladies manage to wear these types of dresses - I usually wind up not staying within the lines... does anybody else have this problem?
That siad, it's a beautiful dress.

i have the opposite problem.. I carry all my weight below my bust. A v-neck that's supposed to fit as pictured ends up showing a whole lot. That's what tailoring is for, though. (Thank goodness I know how to sew.)
All that said, I love IGIGI. They are my go-to spot for evening and cocktail wear.

I've got the well endowed issue. A camisol is sometimes the best thing in the world.

I am coveting that dress like no tomorrow. If i dont win it, i might have to look into buying it!

I wear camis with pretty much everything these days.
I actually prefer when the line hits a bit above the bottom of my Rack of Greater Doom since it visually reduces them a bit and makes me look more balanced. but then I go in a lot at the underboob so this works for my particular shape YMMV depending on shape.
also love love love that color!

This is such a cute dress but I wonder if it works better on taller women. I'm 5'2, so I dunno but picture and description wise it's tres bien.
