There is something so flatteringly stylish about ruffles. They create a silhouette, they are gorgeous, textured, interesting, unique. I like them! Especially with killer heels!

Angela said...

oh i am the first today. : ) anyway, i love to see dramatic ruffle on the runway but moderation in real life. However, I would love to fine a big ruffle coat for winter this year still. : )

♥ Cara Mia ♥ said...

i think ruffles look great in moderation! even the skinniest models can look like they have a big booty if there are too many :)

i always love your themes cc! ♥

C.Elizabeth and Natalia said...

This is so romantic and feminine! For some reasons, it reminds me of all the times I've been to New York... how much I miss home! Fabulous fashion!

Unknown said...

today I'm wearing ruffled skirt, I feel so girlie love ruffles!!

Stephanie Clayton said...

i'm not usually drawn to ruffles- maybe it's in consideration of my petite frame (excess fabric + small stature = bulk). or perhaps some concern about appearing too little-girly (again, small frame). but many of these, i would certainly wear!
terrific post as always, CC!

KP said...

that ruffled leather skirt is incredible!

GASP! great selection of pics..i love ruffles coz they look very flattering! what the brand of the third dress (the one shoulder red dress)??

LadyLUX said...

Insanely cool! I can honestly say that I have never seen this many ruffles on one page, ever. The golden and red pieces (#2 and #3 are my favorite) - who are the designers? (it's hard to tell from the post). Also, it looks absolutely funky-fresh on a shoe and a purse. Love it! Thanks for such a well researched post and such a collection of fabulous photos.
