Luella SS09
The perfect trend for Spring is about to hit the shops, tea party. This look is all about gingham and floral prints with straw accesories, a typical upper glass garden party look.
Eley Kishimoto and Luella used perfect floral print dresses at the SS09 shows while Paul Smith mixed in some gingham on his floaty, layered skirts to really complete the look.
This look is all about ladylike style so pearls and lace gloves are a must. Flowers can go anywhere, in your hair, on you clothes, around your neck and even on your shoes. Don't be afraid to use a couple of floral pieces but anymore than two is too much.
Layer sheer tops over flaral tops, dresses and playsuits for a real ladylike feel and top the look off with a straw hat or basket.
To stop it looking too victorian-esque keep your accessories brightly coloured, and don't be afraid to mix prints, this is one look that you can.
