Large Floral Trend: this spring is all about large floral statements! We’ve rolled it out slowly with some subtle selections that speak to the trend without shouting. Manderley is a two-tone printed cotton twill. Deep mint green and ivory partner to make a spring fresh statement.
How to wear it? This sturdy cotton twill will make up well in jackets, capri pants or skirts. Use the floral in its fullest display or break it up with seams to make it less conspicuous.
If you are timid about wearing the flowers so prominently, then we suggest one of our newest rayon prints that offer large motifs in tone on tone shades for a muted presentation.
How to wear it? Let these prints do all the talking in a drapey dress, skirt or flowing separates! Very tropical!
So you’ll be seeing a lot more from us on this trend as we continue to roll out our spring offerings. Stay tuned!

Ruffles hit the spotlight in spring 2008 and they are back bigger than ever for spring 2009. Feminine and romantic, this look has made its way into dresses, shirt fronts and even gusseted into coats. Even just touches of ruffle, skirting across a hem or sleeve edge, or a tiny delicate waterfall on a shirt front can add softening to silhouettes. An off-center thin line of small ruffling down a shirt or skirt can add length to your look or adding a long ruffled scarf will do for a nod to this hot fashion look.
