Colorful Print, Gathered Top, and A-Line Skirt Work Magic in a Dress

One of the most important things to me when I design dresses is comfort. I realize fashion is to give the wearer a good feeling and make her feel confident. This is often achieved through comfort - through garments that fit well. And since it is getting warmer and warmer outside, flowy and free moving dresses are the best for right now!

Comfort, however, does not mean poor silhouette or a lack of interesting details. In my latest dress, you will find plenty of intriguing elements. First, the fabric is wonderful - I love colors and patterns. This one has it all - pink, purple, red, yellow, black, blue ... and abstract pattern that draws attention. 

While the pattern itself stands out, I always like to play with gathers and in the sketch below you can see that I went with an oversized top that I gathered in the shoulders and around the waist. This treatment distorts gives the shoulder area a nice drape and creates an hour-glass shape around the hips keeping attention to the top portion of the body. 

While the top is oversized and flowy, I opted for an A-line skirt to balance the volume of the fabric. The skirt is simple and drapes well. In general, A-line skirts work for most body types and are versatile and comfortable. 

So, I am ready for warm days as I will be wearing this colorful and comfy dress. What do you look for in a dress? Is fit important to you? Do you like A-line skirts?
