Above, I especially love the paisley and the circles, the Hawaiian print not so much. I just bought a Catherine Malandrino silk jersey dress in a multi-coloured print called Mozambique -- I love it, but I suspect some High Wasps might politely avert eyes . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-11463529984775482132010-03-10T12:47:13.163-08:002010-03-10T12:47:13.163-08:00Lauren, you are right.

Other guest designer lines have not included plus sizes.

I have lived and worked with high WASPs, but high WASP style is not my native language. I feel that most of the time "I know it when I see it" in terms of prints, but given that I shop what is available in the plus size world, compromise (or a retreat to solids) is unfortunately sometimes necessary. Examples, as above, and a little deconstruction, as in the link yesterday, are helpful.DocPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823834084619817888noreply@blogger.com
