For Spring 2010, Designers agree on one thing: a patterned long dress is essential! Check out the stunning variety on the runway. From fab floral gowns to psychedelic printed frocks, dresses are long on both patterns and charm! Photos via style.com except where noted.Albino

So cute! I'm adoring the pink and black one. It's usually all about short where I'm from, so I'm defiently going to throw a maxi dress into the mix.
Happy New Year CC!

All those dresses are gorgeous. I wore a long printed dress to my bf's graduation and quite a few people asked if I was pregnant... sooo I don't think I can pull this look off! hah
Happy New Year!!
All these colorful dresses make my day! My favorite is Tibi Palm Beach silk gown. Happy New Year's Eve, Carrie!

It's a toss up between Dennis Basso and Badgley Mischka - both pieces are absolutely stunning.
Happy, Happy New Year my love!! :)
Happy New Year's Eve darling!

I love maxidresses, but most of my guy friends hate them. They say maxidresses defeat the entire purpose of women wearing dresses. Silly men.
Gorgeous and elegant! I love the style... especially that Temperley London dress!
Thank you dear CC for being the gorgeous inspiration that you are... lots of love for the New Year! ♥xo
Happy New Year's Eve!
Happy new year dear!!!

Lovely C.... my favs are the Dennis Basso and Diane Von Furstenberg dress.... I can't wait to get me some new maxis!! I hope you have a great New Years Eve tonight... so glad I came across your blog this year.. It's oozing with inspiration and you are such a sweetie.. Here's to a great 2010!!
Love & Aloha, S

I'm not sure I'm ready for long dresses. They look great on models, but overall I'm skeptical.
I don't know if I can quite carry off the long dress silhouette. But these are so lovely! xx D
I always have such a hard time with prints! Anything else I can pretty much take a look at and tell if it's going to suit me or not, but prints are a nightmare. I always need to try everything on and most of it looks to busy on me! Wish I could pull off any of these gorgeous long gowns!
I'm sure I wished you a happy new year already, but here goes again! XOXOXOX
I love the fabulous Tony Cohen dress!
I hope to add it to my wardrobe this spring.
so gorgeous! i love the patterns on those maxi and floor length dresses. the flow in some of those pieces is amazing :)
hope you have a fantastic new year's :)
I am sooo glad long dresses are making a comeback! They are so flattering on so many different body types and they make you look so tall!
Looking at these dresses, I can't wait for the summer. Fabulous dresses!!!
Beautiful!
Happy New Year!!! :)
Aloha, New Friend!

I wish I was tall so I could wear these gorgeous patterned dresses. But, alas, I will simply have to admire them on the models. ;)
Happy New Year, CC! xoxo
Love it! The long, colorful patterns remind me of summer :) Happy new years, CC!
That sounds good, cause I need like 4 floral dresses for spring.
oh happy new year, my dear!
i love the Badgley Mischka one and if i ever went to a place where the Emilio Pucci dress was appropriate, you know i would be wearing that one too!!
wish you the best for the coming new year!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR CC!! ;) All the best to you ALWAYS!!
how elegant!
happy new year, darling.
xoxo
Gorgeous dresses! My hubby will be happy ... he loves flowing floral dresses. Me? not sold completely but some of these patterns are beautiful.
Happy New Year CC ... 2010 is gonna be amazing!
Gorgeous dresses! I'm so afraid of long dresses....I'm afraid they'd make me shorter!

I usually don't like long dresses, but these runway types are so so so elegant x
Happy new year!

nice! very pretty!
i like stripes over patterns as the latter's more tricky. but they're still pretty; love the various silhouettes.
wishing you a fruitful 2010, CC!
Happy New year Carrie darling!
Thanks for being a sweetheart and always showing me love on my blog.
p.s-Patterns are always HOT be it long or short!!
Beautiful! I love all of them. Reminds me of spring already!!

i like maxi dresses for spring--great prints!! xx happy new year!
Gosh, Carrie ... I want to put one on right NOW!
I don't have any long dresses myself but I am starting to like them a lot more this season. They definately seem like a must have. Happy New Year Carrie.
Fabulous... I love florals during summer. And I love to wear maxi dresses. Happy new year CC. xoxo
I'd LOVE one, but I'm so short that long dresses usually make me look like a midget! :D

I adore patterned dresses.... what a fantastic selection! The Carlos Miele and Etro are some of my favorites!
These are all gorgeous!!! Love the patterns, love the length, love it all!
I'm so happy I've got one! although need to lose a few pounds to show it off in splendour.
Happy New Year xx
That's an absolutely amazingly beautiful selection. I mean the Dennis Basso is just stunning.
Peronsally I'll take the Erdem please. :)
Ahh so many lovely dresses, what a dream closet they'd make together.
