High Street Folksy Garments

These are my favourite folksy garments from online and high street retailers for Autumn 2008. Visually, the dresses have all the Folk Boho pattern elements that capture this combination of the latest flirtation with eclectic ethnic.

Observe, the paisley feather form motifs, also the hearts, ogees, teardrops and overblown colourful flowers, often roses. Moreover, admire small, medium and large repeat motifs. Arrangements such as this mostly use border printed fabric which can be manipulated to bring pattern into an area of main focus, such as sleeves into cuffs, hemline and waistlines. Patterns flow and meander into each other making this a very feminine girl to woman look.
