Been way too long since my last giveaway! I’ve got a number of pretty dresses lined up and am going to try and do one a month this summer (and hopefully beyond).
Just leave a comment containing some sort of feedback about my blog and/or shop. Anything. The good, the bad, and the ugly. I have been working hard to step it up ’round here lately and any help would be appreciated.
As for this gorgeous (modern) dress- it is a slinky, silky polyester, fully lined, with sheer sleeves and forest green scalloped lace at the neckline and empire waist, and ties in back. Label is “Passport”. It’s a size small, ample room in the bust but a nipped little waist. Measurements, lying flat, are: shoulder 14.5, bust 18, waist 14.5, length 35.5. I just noticed a little tear at the left shoulder seam. You’ll live
I will use fantastical internet technology to pick a winner next Thursday!




oh, you KNOW i’ll more than live with a little tear!
and thank you for the lovely images on the blog…they always serve to inspire… sigh.
Well your shop is choice; what can I say. I’m always checking to see if there is a good deal on an item that will fit me that is also cotton or other natural fabric as I am not a big fan of polyester & other synthetic fabrics. however this here dress is very nice looks comfy & would look fabulous on me if i do say so myself

Oh, what a great idea. I hope I win this one!
Oh, my! I don’t think I’ve seen any of your giveaways before. The dress is gorgeous, I’m normally a stickler for cotton, but the lining will keep it from having that scratchy feeling. I’d be so happy to win. As for feedback, well…..please find Gunne Sax dresses that are made of magical fabric that will fit anyone. You can do that, right?
Love,
Claire

i love your blog. i do have trouble leaving comments on occasion and it’s sometimes a bit slow loading. but the content is wonderful and i love the photographs.
I NEED this dress for blending in with the forrest this summer while engaging in Top Secret Activities.
Your blog is a source of inspiration and the all out girly-ness I need sometimes! Luscious fabrics, funky boots, and ladies…oh my. Let me know if you ever need a model or photographer.
As a city girl, I always feel inspired by your photos (I’ve been around since nourished mother believe it or not!) and feel like escaping into the forest. So….more photos!
I have been reading your blog since “Nourished Mother” I have actually just become a grandmother – I came of age in the sixties and love the vintage cloths – how many times have I wished I did not get rid of things…so you are a breath of fresh air and an inspiration at the same time – very much enjoy reading……k
hello! i read your blog and check your shop regularly. I bought a beautiful mushroom printed dress from you a while back and wear it as much as i can. you are truly a fine vintage collector and seller. i aways enjoy your beautiful words and pictures, thankyou:)
Such a lovely frock, it is quite modern isn’t it? I love it’s forest-y vibe
You my dear, have grown into quite the vintage maven as has been made obvious through both your shop and blog, both stellar entities and your recent efforts have not gone unnoticed!
I love seeing all the beautiful pieces that sift through your enchanted fingers as they make their way off to their renewed lives, and your words and images here are always an utter joy to behold
Much love!
When I first tried to leave my comment, I got a server error message and it seemed that the comment didn’t go through, but when I refreshed the page, it actually did. Maybe something to look into since Brigit mentioned having problems with commenting.
Hugs!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you’re doing it just right! And it seems that the shop is blooming in front of our very eyes, you’ve made such scores and created such hordes lately. It’s really fun to see Violet Folklore grow beautiful tendrils everywhere and how successful you are. You have excellent taste and the styling and models are rather lovely too, so don’t change a thing, just keep finding those treasures.
I’m forever grateful for the lovelies you’ve brought to me, and look forward to purchasing some more of your treasures in the future.
I love the forest-y green of this dress (quite into green these days) and I think my friend Talu has its sister-dress in blue and red.

I love your blog!!! Awhile ago, you had a picture of a necklace with the comment that it is the only one you wear. I bought the same necklace a few years ago on ebay, and it is just about the only necklace I wear as well. It goes with everything! I also love the seeing all of the Gunne Sax. The giveaway dress is very lovely. thank you!
yippee! i will wear this is luck, love, and happiness!
thank you, amber!
