    Hi Carrie your searches are always very detailed and rich with interesting tips ... Do you believe more in large flowers prints or small flowers prints? "ordinary" people, every day, what do they prefer to wear in your opinion?...little marketing investigation, I would like to know more about the fashion market in the United States...

    Okay, I'm old - like 52. But I find it most odd that these are the type of dresses I wore in college to dances and weddings. I think I still have some of them, however, I wouldn't be able to zip them. Oh, to be young and skinny, again.
