A Living Dahl: T-Shirt Dress Giveaway from a Project Runway Alum
One of my very favorite designers, Alison Kelly of Project Runway fame, is finally coming over to the green side where eco-designers dwell.
Look for a small capsule collection she and her soul mate, Dane Risch, are putting together for both men and women.
(For the record: cutest couple going!)
The dress, made from 100% Tencel, a soft and buttery fiber made from wood pulp cellulose, is pure comfort and is so sweet.
Alison says: “The colors are putty, cafe au lait and black. I use these color names to conjure up the proper tones, seeing that the computer monitor can sometimes manipulate color. This top is available in all of my size offerings. It hits about mid-thigh so it can also be worn as a dress.”
Oh Alison, you had me at putty.

OMG that is so cute!!! The eco-friendly factor just makes it that much more desirable
November 21st, 2009 at 6:59 PM
I’ve owned Tencel items before and they have been the easiest to care for and most comfortable pieces in my wardrobe. The eco-friendly factor is a plus in my book.
November 21st, 2009 at 7:23 PM
i love it allison!
November 21st, 2009 at 7:37 PM
Oh, that’s so cute! Plus, I love anything that can be easily layered. Absolutely essential for the crazy weather!
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:37 AM
Ooooh!! That dress had me at hello! It’s so cute and I love that it’s eco-friendly! This would definitely fit perfectly on me
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:55 AM
That’s a lovely dress! I love the neutral colors!
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:30 PM
I love the innocent glamour of this dress and the colors!
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:28 PM
It looks really versatile – I love it!
November 22nd, 2009 at 6:34 PM

DITTO!
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:45 AM
it is a beautiful and comfy looking dress
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Very cute dress! Thank you for hosting the giveaway.
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Definitely a piece you can wear all year long – as a dress in the summer, over leggings/jeans in the colder months paired with a cardigan. Would love to own one!
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:31 PM
you rock with your giveaways
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 PM
Great idea for a giveaway. I love that dress.
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:15 PM
I had tencel sheets once, they were the softest sheets ever! I have loved this shirt/dress since the first day I saw it. I hope I win!
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:19 PM
super cute and simple!
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:30 PM
This is an adorable top! I love the color combination. This is one of those pieces that would look cute with a skirt, or just a plain pair of jeans and boots.
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:41 PM
Very nice!! Someone is going to be very lucky!
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:45 PM
I love the color combo, it looks so comfy that you could stay in it all day
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:47 PM
I’m pleased to read that Tencel has softened it’s act. I bought some 6 yards in 2-yd cuts for skirts. I tossed it to a recycle center as the stuff was so scratchy. I’m hoping this will feel more like bamboo/silk mixture (or even softer.) Cordially, Nehmah/Emily McGehee
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:47 PM
I’m in love with this top!
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:05 PM
That looks so cozy I can just imagine wearing it all the time.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:41 PM
Very pretty!
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:45 PM
What a beautiful garment! I can only imagine how comfortable it must be to wear!
I love Alison Kelly’s work
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:46 PM
This is such a pretty dress! It also looks very comfortable
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:53 PM
I love the colors! This would look lovely on just about anyone!
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:03 PM
alison has taught me a lot about eco fabrics on her blog. I’m so glad she is going in this direction because I am learning so much!
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:03 PM
Allison is my favorite Project runway designer too!!!
I love her and her designs!!!
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:12 PM
Alison…just keeping your buzz alive and hoping to get your giveaway!
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:32 PM
The dress is adorable – soft and sweet – reminiscent of a Neopolitan Ice Cream!
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Gorgeous T, love it!
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:01 PM
Fantastic dress!
I’m so excited about the green movement and what changes a simple dress can make.
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Extremely adorable and insanely versatile. Also, just the thought of wearing a shade titled “Cafe au Lait” makes me swoon.
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:28 PM
I am really excited to hear about this Tencel textile. I have just begun to research more environmentally sustainable materials and now have another to add to my list.
Great colors and design btw!!
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:46 PM
ADRABLE and romantic and I agree that tencel is super uber soft. I HEART the environmental fashion!! just wish most of the fabric wasn’t that expensive, but it’s worth it.
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:03 PM
so pretty! i would wear that every day
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:34 PM
Hey, ReneeBeth here from Burdastyle! I’d love to win this dress
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:42 PM
Great tee – it has the look, comfort and eco-friendly to boot – what’s not to love!
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:16 PM
Love your tee and the fact that it is eco friendly.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:28 PM
Oh, I love it! It has this sweet, young, and delicate feel to it. It reminds me of roses at night. Beautiful.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:41 PM
I have loved this t-shirt dress since I first saw it in a BurdaStyle post. I want it!!! It looks so soft and I love the mod style.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Way to go green
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:59 PM
Reminds me of Neopolitan ice cream – my favorite!
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:43 PM
Lovely dress!
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:53 PM
ooh, i want this! sounds fab!
November 24th, 2009 at 12:32 AM
Simply adorable!!
November 24th, 2009 at 1:29 AM
really cute & flattering design and shape
November 24th, 2009 at 1:54 AM
tencel is such great fabric these days just wish it were more widely available:(. the top/dress looks great
.
November 24th, 2009 at 5:46 AM
Hi, I was lured by the giveaway mentioned on burdastyle hehe. Wondering though, will it apply internationally? If not it’s o.k, good idea luring people here though, it’s a pretty good pro-eco site and I’ve learnt something new today (i didn’t know about tencel material)
November 24th, 2009 at 6:27 AM
I love it!! Go Green…… The colors and style will compliment many people. I wish I could touch it. Go BurdaStyle..
By the way… they ARE a cute couple.
November 24th, 2009 at 6:46 AM
I will be keeping my fingers crossed. Very tight.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Oh, what a dream! I’ve actually had this very dress saved in my etsy “favorite items” page for purchase one day. Gorgeous work by a gorgeous girl.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:45 AM
This is gorgeous, and a great rejoinder to those who say that green fashion is ugly or unstylish. This is adorable and looks everso soft and comfortable. I’ve never worn Tencel before though- I wonder how it stacks up against bamboo fabric, which is all soft and fresh.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:46 AM
Whoever said said seeing green was so wrong. Stuff like this gives seeing green a whole new meaning..LOVE IT!
November 24th, 2009 at 7:46 AM
What a beautiful combination of colors! I hope I win!
November 24th, 2009 at 8:23 AM
I’m enjoying the site and the ecology! Cheers!
November 24th, 2009 at 9:42 AM
love the dress,
was cheering for alison when she was on the show.
what a f*** beautiful couple are the two of them?
and they still make fiiiiiiine clothes!
oh!
November 24th, 2009 at 9:50 AM
I suppose the greatest thing here is the fabric… But the colours look pretty, too. I wonder what they’re like in real life.
November 24th, 2009 at 11:20 AM
Lovely colors and I bet it’s super soft. Good luck on your business. I have been doing it for about 20 years. it’s worth all the hard work to be doing what you love. Best wishes…
November 24th, 2009 at 12:42 PM
Cool fabric, I would love to see it!
November 24th, 2009 at 12:58 PM
Hope I’m not too late for the comment
I adore the colors in the T-Shirt!
November 24th, 2009 at 1:11 PM
It reminds me of a neopolitan icecream!
November 24th, 2009 at 2:22 PM
Beautiful tee and Allison is a favorite designer!

extremely soft t-shirts may be the love of my life. i fell in love with a boy who wears soft, almost threadbare, t’s.
these look great!
November 25th, 2009 at 8:07 PM
This tee shirt is so cute and looks really comfortable, a perfect combo!
November 25th, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Love the dress and the color names are so evocative…
November 26th, 2009 at 5:55 AM
Such an easy-to-wear cute dress whether you are a girlie girl or not. I’m nearly oblivious to the range of eco fabrics available now, not much call for this yet in Ireland unfortunately, would love to own a piece and I could see it being the start of great friendship between me and my own eco fabric friendly designs.
November 26th, 2009 at 8:19 AM
beautiful color palette and simple design, love it:)
November 26th, 2009 at 10:22 AM

This is the exact piece that I need to complete my winter wardrobe. A tshirt dress worn with boots and ribbed tights
Heck, this dress could even be worn year round! I’d love to have it. Good luck to all!
November 26th, 2009 at 9:47 PM
I love the combination of colors! It’s really classy and feminine. I love how you can look great and know that you’re doing the environment a good deed.
November 26th, 2009 at 9:52 PM
It looks super comfy and its eco friendly! I want it
