What distinguishes these beauties from their patterned counterparts is that these have a landscape or scene rather than an allover print.
Unique, lovely and artistic. Enjoy!

These whimsically printed dresses are sort of a cross between the artwork of Hieronymous Bosch and the anthropomorphic garb of Slim Goodbody (anyone remember him??).

Maybe you can help me, i search pictures of summer 2008's dresses, inspiration 50's, with arty flower print... I don't know if it's clear ! I have a wonderful 50's dress from my grandmother and i would like to show it on my blog with pics of dresses from 2008. I know i've seen the same dresses, but i don't know where !I'm sorry, it's difficult to explain in english... but if you have an idea... !I think you know everything about trends, your blog is amazing !
the see by Choe is my favorite... so pretty :)
i liked Balenciaga the most!
the back of the chloe dress is so pretty!!! I'd love to wear it to some afternoon party.
& does boot/ leg warmer looking things are HOT! reminds me of The devil wears Prada, but will make walking easier =)
I love the way you write about fashion.
Adore the Balenciaga!
I love printed dresses! The ones from See by Chloe are so cute! I also love the Alberta F.
I like the chloe :)

I love your header, that dress on 'Serena' is incredible! ♥
love your blog! I've linked you!
I really love the Chloe dresses :)

flowers, flowers, flowers... Beautiful summer outfits!
I am really into prints recently. Have been figuring out ways to wear Hermes scarf as tops and skirts to avoid buying prints. save myself a few bucks.
thanks for your comment! ive actually seen memento! i wrote a blog about it a little while ago- its such a great movie!
You're very much welcome - you have such wonderful posts, it shows that you spent a lot of time on them :)
Love all these prints, they're so beautiful and inspirational. I love the See by Chloe dresses - absolutely gorgeous.
LOVE!! the balenciaga and mcqueen especially, and I also like that bottom shirt from F21. I noticed it on their website a couple days ago.
I am in love with printed dresses. It's a very refined way of adding ordered colour into ones wardrobe - just add matching accessories and you are good to go!
I am also very happy to see that you have thrown in an Australian designer into the mix (Zimmermann).
i don't like this look/trend. i like scenery/nature as is and not on dresses or fabric or clothing. i think it makes it look a bit too contrived.
These McQ dresses are adorable! Love your choices. They match your good taste.

These are beautiful dresses I just get lost in them!
