Color Coded

How is everyone liking the Manhattan Line? (Imagine that I shouted that out, like the lead singer of the opening band shouting out, "How's everybody doing tonight?" It makes it more exciting.)

I, for one, am l-o-v-i-n-g it. The Manhattan Line, that is. I wore the Madison Ave houndstooth dress to work last week and my boss said I was looking "vogue." It was a good day.

Well, you better believe there is more where that came from (that being the Manhattan Line, of course) and we want your help putting the fabu in the next batch of fabulous dresses.

Below you'll find some new sketches from the Manhattan Line mama, Rebekah McKinney. Keep scrolling down and you'll see some color swatches as well. We want to know (pretty please with a cherry on top) which color (or colors) you like best for which design.

Ready?

Here we go.


{Fabulous Dress Number One}


{Fabulous Dress Number Two}



{Boiled Gray}


{Boiled Pink}


{Black and Gray Pinstripe}


{Brown, Pink and Black}


{Grey, Blue and Pink}


{Pink Plaid, One}


{Pink Plaid, Two}


It all looks pretty good, eh? Now just pop into the comments section and let us know what dress/color combo really gets you going. (In a family-friendly sort of way.) If you're lucky (in a family-friendly sort of way) your dream dress could be hitting the (virtual) shelf soon!

Keep the great pieces coming, Shabby!
Love fabulous dress #1 in the black & grey pinstripe & fabulous dress #2 in the boiled pink.

Obvs you can see I'm not a pattern girl, though.

I bought two dresses from the Manhattan line and I ended up returning both. I wasn't impressed, unfortunately. They weren't lines, and the fabric was very thin and flimsy. At $72 each, I expected better.

i LOVE all the patterns... my favorite being the pink plaid #2 for any and all dresses.

i am embracing my inner pink, but would love more gender neutral palates also!

I love Fab Dress #1. IMO the flouncy asymmetrical skirt on Dress #2 looks a little 80's.

Fabric...LOVE both Boiled Pink and Pink Plaid #1.

Keep it coming.

I love dress #1 in the pink plaid #2. So cute!! I agree with MMW that the second dress looks a little 80's...but that's coming back too, I hear.

BTW, I love the houndstooth dress. I bought it a few weeks ago.

Oh I think I like dress #2 in the black and gray pinstripe! Or either the boiled gray or boiled pink!

ooooo, I love the pinstripe and darker colors-- not the pink plaids... not professional enough for where I work.. and isn't that the whole point of the Manhattan line?

I love fabulous dress #2!!!! I would love it in either of the boiled fabrics, I think. Especially a grey.
