The Print Diary Volume 4: Floral Prints

Florals, florals all day long.   Nothing brightens up a room like a pretty girl in a floral print dress. 
Here are some different categories of florals that I have chosen that qualify as my top faves:

With most designers using prints on the runway this season florals are in high demand.  There’s lots to choose from so go for a print that looks original to your eye.  The more colors a print has the more detailed the printing process is.   Vintage dresses are famous for their unique and outstanding floral patterns that “just aren’t made like that anymore.”

Look for matching pattens on the seams and watch out for georgettes and thin fabrics that have a tendency to snag or rip easily.
