I think they add some really nice interest to a dress for those of us who don't have the model figures to carry off extreme fitted dresses with hundreds of tiny details and seams and extreme angles.

I've never used one, mostly due to the fact that I don't wear dresses or skirts, and for some reason, I don't think shirts make the best use of most border prints. For example, I love that bubble print, but I think much of it's charm would be lost if it were used for a shirt. Although that Ana Sui fabric would make a great top. Maybe 2 - one with the border and one using the rest of the fabric?JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-21392070172689231132011-07-15T07:31:31.141-04:002011-07-15T07:31:31.141-04:00I am.
