And while I'm wittering on about giant floral skirts

[cupcake_goth]

Yes? No?

On the one hand: B&W stripes! Giant red roses! Oooh, it's all very Night Circus, isn't it?

On the other hand, I can't tell if this is too busy. Plus, while it's a full skirt, it's also 100% polyester.

But let's be real here, I'll probably end up buying it.

In theory that skirt works if the red in the roses is a good dark red for contrast.

Actually I really like this dress, where is it coming from?

I've seen prints like this in cotton, and gathered skirts aren't hard to make.

Too busy in its current length perhaps, but might look less hectic if shorter?

I was on the fence about this print until I thought about how you were likely to style it, with a black lace overdress over it, or underneath a long waistcoat or frock coat. And then I thought, YES, I like it! It will be very Night Circus.

That is *exactly* how I'll style it. And since The Night Circus is one of my all-time favorite books ...

No. First of all, that long silhouette works on me better than on you. Second, you've got two clashing patterns superimposed. I'm trying to think of something nice to say about this, but Ive got nothing.
