Be Fashion Forward With Floral Print

Posted on June 21, 2013 by admin

Wrap dress

As the weather warms and we finally enter into summer, more and more women opt for comfortable, breezy dresses in order to stay cool. A pretty floral print dress will never go out of style, and will accentuate your femininity while paying homage to history and the beauty of the natural world.

Floral print dates back to the days of the ancient Eastern world. Because trade with Asia was so difficult, patterned fabrics were a major status symbol in Europe. As demand rose, European merchants learned how to make similar fabrics at a fraction of the price. These early European styles of printed fabrics were extremely stylized, often featuring designs of fruit or various kinds of ivy. The types of flowers in European floral design were different from their Asian predecessors, but still showed signs of Eastern influence.

After a while, floral prints had gone from highly in demand to extremely common. Floral print dresses became cheaper, everyday outfits. Most floral prints were found in work dresses, aprons, nightgowns, or fabric linings. However, in the 1920s, as leisure and outdoor activities became more popular, casual floral beachwear became available. Soon the style migrated to include fashionable day or evening dresses for women of all social standings.

Since then, floral print has never quite gone out of style. Although you could still find nightgowns or swimsuits in floral prints, if you are looking for something more dressy you could easily find a floral print in that style. Wrap dresses, dressy skirts, and even ball gowns could be found in floral fabric.
