Prints...

CAMOGIRL — Mon, 16 May 2016 14:39:58 GMT

I will say this - went mall shopping with my daughter and I could not believe some of the prints out there... If you wear anything more than a 12,you would look huge! That. Is one thing I like about One World Fashions - the prints work with your figure and not against it! You talk about a fashion nightmare - I could not wait to get out of there! I have no idea where some of these designers get their ideas from, seriously. I think their fit model must be a size 4 and they think it will work on everyone at any size! WRONG!!! Anyhow - my daughter and I had several good laughs...

I totally agree Camogirl. The prints are incredibly ugly in most cases and oddly placed according to size. But a few of my friends have shopped in the Women's Department (larger sizes) and the prints there have always been gaudy and really ugly. For me, a little goes a long way. NO BIG PRINTS, no matter what size.

I am generally not into prints, but have to say prints work wonders at camouflaging. A woman who has rolls in her mid-section will definitely benefit from a print. However, there are few nice prints around. I prefer smaller geometrics or smaller florals. Patchworks, large florals, or dizzying geometrics are horrid. SG comes to mind.

I don't need to camoflauge anything but I just don't like large prints anyway. And yes, they do make a person look larger which a lot of us don't really want. Yesterday I was in Macy's and the Charter Club tops were wall to wall prints. I left without buying anything....sigh.

I seem to fall in love with a pair of printed bottoms every summer.

My mother used to say "that woman isn't wearing that print ... that print is wearing her! "

They can really overwhelm the wearer, but clothing manufacturers don't seem to think about that. Yesterday I saw a woman wearing what looked like printed curtains ... not a good look.

Same here, @islandgrrl. Not interested in the printed top, but I'm liking the bottoms. 8)

Yikes! One World Fashions prints work with your figure? Really? I can always tell when a woman has donned this brand because I can see them coming from yards away!! And not in a good way. Blech!

I am drawn to printed bottoms like a magnet! I ordered another pair last week and cancelled the order because I came to my senses, ha ha. My little obsession I guess.

I wear a lot more prints since losing weight but there are prints that are done well & ones that are just used w/o any thought of planning. I'm very careful about what prints I buy and how I wear them.

Most One World clothes have prints that are way too busy for my personal taste. I have seen a few I like & would wear but I have not bought anything from that brand yet.

I remember my mother referring to really bad prints as "cat throw-up prints".

I like printed tops, skirts, and dresses, but I don't like really large, loud, and bold prints. I have noticed a lot more bold prints this season than in years past. What I consider a good print someone else may not like though. As long as I like the print that is all that matters. I never wear printed pants except pjs (and never in public ).

I love prints. There is always the option of wearing with a jacket or cardigan to tone them down.

Not really a fan of prints.

Some of them are kind of obnoxious.

Not really into prints, checks, plaids, stripes, etc. On the rare occasion I choose a print, it's usually more of a non-print print.

Prints are ok in small, subtle designs or along a border but I'm not buying the bold platter-sized florals and odd, unmatchable bright colors, or chains/ropes, patchwork, and giant geometrics designers do so frequently. No more of the tired predictable Hawaiian florals or animal prints every year for me. My request would be for conservative prints like small single-colored florals, plaids, subtle single-colored tie-dye, narrow stripes, brush strokes, tribal, tonal...like small, medium blue dots on dark blue background.

the bolder, the better, on the bottom

I love these!

One World has some beautiful palazzos! I've tried a couple of the print tops but in general they're usually to long and or baggy in the fit.

I do have a few of their solid pieces...
