Bold by Design

Erica is rockin' a one-shoulder paisley print dress 


Funky patterns make any dress unique and stand out in the crowd.  Many times we tend to shy away from bright pattens and prints because it "makes us look bigger".  This is not always true.  Many patterns with different cuts can be very flattering.


By wearing darker patterns you can still get that slimming effect of wearing solid dark colors.  Also animal prints, such as leopard, in other colors than neutral colors can also be very flattering.  Since animal print is in style, try a leopard in blue or zebra in red; it'll definitely catch the eye of every man in the room!


Patterns that are asymmetrical or accentuate one part of the body can also help hide problem areas or flatter another.  If your top heavy, find a dress or skirt with a heavy pattern to help slim your waist and hips and balance your top and bottom out.  If your a figure 8 girl like the model at the top, an all over pattern will look great on you and not put over emphasis on your top or bottom half.


So don't be scared to try that daring, sexy dress with a risque pattern on it.  Be bold with a bold pattern!
