Floral Print Dresses

Image

Three girls are sitting on a wicker chair, and wearing floral print dresses. The middle girl is holding a parasol over the three of them. Caption reads: "Floral print dresses in pastel colors are among the newest dressy trends for spring for girls sizes 4 to 6X, according to Diane Long, manager of The Children's Place at Northridge Shopping Center. Shown (from left) are a lavender/pink dress, about $103 from Brigadoon; a lavender/blue print dress, $45 from Marshall Field's; and a blue print dress, $58 from Louise Gooddell. Floral prints also are popping up in sportswear, said Terri Luljak, co-owner of Brigadoon, 11033 N. Port Washington Rd., Mequon."
