Oh blast, I was ready to post my description and hit the wrong darn button and lost the dang thing!!

I was saying...

I see a lot of Japanese or Asian influence in the print. It's like a Japanese water color garden in shades of blue. When I look at it, it makes me feel like I am swimming in a garden made of water with floating trees and swirling watery blooms everywhere!

I really love that print!!

I like that shade of blue! reminds me of the blue willow pattern but more vivid

made of water with floating trees

that was us during hurricane season

this year's hurricane season already started *shudder*

I like that blue willow pattern comparison, thanks!

thank you!!

I was wondering, did any of you notice the seam under the bust?

there seems to be two waistlines one under the bust (all the way around) and one where the real waist would be, can I call it 'empire'??

i did notice that seam. i am used to seeing it on tops, never on a dress.

i don't know what they are called but the tops very loose on the bottom with shoulder straps adn would normally have empire seams. 70s ish.
you just had to make sure that either you were very fit or the item was really your size and you weren't wearing it too small because of it
