A Confection of Mixed Prints African Style


I attended an African wedding this month through a friend I met in September. The bride and groom were a handsome couple, loved the wedding gown and the suit. The traditional African dresses many ladies were wearing (I'd call a lot of them gowns, many had floor length dresses) were beautiful, colorful, some with prints.  The head wraps were regal.  The men were looking good, most of them in suits. I was not dressed as lovely as the ladies were, but I enjoyed the ceremony. Unfortunately, I didn't think I could take pictures of these women as it was a church wedding where the groom was a minister's son.  

Which led me to this week's post.  Looking for African gowns, I came upon these delectable outfits in beautifully printed fabrics.  The ones with multiple prints are even more exciting and engaging.  I think future fashion trends will embrace print mixing for commercial clothing.

Spring Forecast: Print Dresses

With spring arriving, it's time to look at what's the trend for this wonderful season.  It's the season to go outdoors and have fun in the warmer weather wearing comfortable and attractive clothing in breathable fabrics.  Clothes with movement is a definate must.

Print dresses, in almost any fine or bold print, are one of the trends for spring 2012, both short and long.  My preference is the long dress.  I'm envisioning myself in a floral maxi dress with big hair and flip flops for this year, lol.
