As promised, here are some pictures of my Gypsy05 organic cotton maxi dress – the one we’re giving away) courtesy of The Trend Boutique:

I haven’t actually had the opportunity to “wear” this yet (although this week it’s supposed to get up to 70 degrees here), but I really loved playing dress-up ! I got a size large in this dress, and it suits me fine, but The Trend Boutique recommends sizing down. Honestly, I could have sized down, but I don’t think it was necessary. I’m a pretty “hippy” size 12, so if you’re not “hippy”, and lean more towards a size 10, I’d definitely go for the medium.
I LOVE everything about this dress: the organic cotton is super-soft, the fit is great (although I couldn’t find a bra that would work with it – so I’m bra-less), and the detailing is beautiful. It is a bit long for me, but I’m short (about 5’3″), so I had to wear platform sandals with it. I’m actually going to take it to my tailor and see if they can hem it, I’m just afraid with the metallic detailing at the bottom, it will ruin the way the fabric hangs to get it hemmed.
I cannot WAIT to actually be able to wear this in warmer weather, I have a thing for maxi dresses, and tend to live in them more than anything else over the Spring/Summer months.

Grechen,
You look seriously exceptional in this dress. The fit is perfect on you.
thank so much natalie
– and for sponsoring the contest!!
Thats gorgeous! It actually looks better in these photos than on the model.
Looks great!!
Awesome dress!
I agree with spirit. It looks a lot better on a real woman of a more realistic size than it does on the model
And I actually love it with the cardigan. Considering my cleavage is (one of) my best features, I love dresses with this kind of fit. I’m crossing my fingers for the giveaway

oh wow! thanks you guys!!! i love to see things modeled on “real” people – that’s one of the main reasons i started grechen’s closet nearly 4 years ago; there was nothing like that anywhere. i mean, the average woman’s size in the US is a 12, so why shouldn’t we see more things modeled on size 12 ladies? that’s a whole OTHER rant i’ll save for another day LOL, but thanks everyone for your comments
I speak the truth when I say this is the exact reason we have added these dresses to our collection. Not because they have heavy press or some Starlet or other has it (although it’s always good for a website) but because they work for every body type. They work on my slender 5’9 model, my 5’6 model and my 5″2 self with a bit of a pouch and more hips than I can handle.
Grechen looks amazing in it.
