Print scale rules I use in production Mini floral (dense, tiny): reads sweet, but can look busy on tiered skirts Medium floral (most commercial): reads fresh, works on mini/midi Large floral (statement): reads premium if placed well, risky if misaligned Motif direction and garment movement All-over tossed floral: easiest for cutting, hides seam joins Directional floral: looks premium, but needs strict cutting control Border print: looks expensive, but pattern and grading are harder Placement zones I protect Bust apex area: I avoid putting a flower center right on the apex Center front seam/placket: I avoid obvious split flowers Hemline: I keep repeats consistent so the bottom looks clean A quick placement plan I share with buyers Which fabric types and print methods work best for floral/printed A-line dresses
Nipped and belted dresses are excellent
Long sleeves are also fine, it is Winter after all, and, as Lydia Bright proves, they can look amazing on the right dress
Each zippered bag comes with the design of your choice and a name
