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.
Join the large floral trend!
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!
- Tranquility–Watery green tones
So you’ll be seeing a lot more from us on this trend as we continue to roll out our spring offerings. Stay tuned!
Serenity--Sky Tones of Blue
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.
You don’t need a detector to find metals out there in the marketplace this season. You can find their influences everywhere! From weighty chains, grommets and buckles on accessories to the mating of the shiny stuff with fabric in chenilles, brocades, sheers, knits and even laminated onto cottons, the current craze of Europe.
Summer 2007 is definitely flirty and feminine with skirts replacing shorts in many venues! Whether you choose prints or solids, be sure you use a fabric with drape — 
Transition into Spring with a cotton chenille jacket in verdant green! The weight will keep you warm and the fiber will breath to let you enjoy the changeable weather!
