Secure Your Summer Style with Floral Dresses
What would summer be without floral dresses? If you long for those summer vibes, slip on a floral dress and feel the season instantly!Floral patterns are a feast for the eyes, but when did people actually start wearing them? Textile history takes us on a journey to Asia, where both China and Japan used floral patterns on various garments early on.
In Japan, the chrysanthemum flower is quite common, with its long, narrow petals offering simple beauty. Its symbolism is clear, as the flower turns toward the sun – making the chrysanthemum a symbol of joy and hope. It is also a signature of the royal family and is often seen on kimonos.
In China, the lotus flower is a typical motif. It is a Buddhist symbol representing purity, as it rises clean from the muddy waters where it grows. Even India featured flowers on clothing early on. Through traders, these patterns spread to Europe, where they became popular during the 15th and 16th centuries, especially in Italy.
We Have Both Floral and Patterned Dresses
In modern times, we can thank the Industrial Revolution for the rapid spread of patterned fabrics, including floral prints, to the general public. Mass production made it cheaper to create and distribute fabrics. The various floral patterns we know today quickly emerged. One notable floral pattern born from the mix of East and West is the so-called “Liberty print” – a popular, timeless, small-floral design.Floral and patterned dresses are an easy way to create an impactful outfit – the dress speaks for itself and doesn’t need accessories to shine. That said, we also have subtle accessories to match your new favorite floral dress. Add a pair of shoes, preferably flat sandals, for a summery, romantic look, and you’re ready for long walks along the beach or summer dates at sunset!
