What would you call this print?

Silly question but how would you describe the print of this dress? I want to say Batik but I know that's not quite right.

Thanks!

Hi Laura!
Are you thinking of block print? Super cute dress!

 

[joules]

Darling dress!
I'd say an abstract novelty stripe print.

 

[lapoubellevintage]

Ohh yes, I think block print works! Thanks Carla!

This somewhat print mimics the look of a block print, but I doubt that it was achieved in that manner.

Would it not have been screen printed? as the dotted printed appears superimposed over the block colours.
It does remind me of potato printing though

 

[lapoubellevintage]

It's definitely screen printed, not an authentic block print but it does look like a riff on that technique. Maybe I'll just go with block-inspired novelty print!

 

[joules]

It's a screen print, no doubt.

I like your wording of "block-inspired novelty print", as this would impart accuracy.

The print, at its most basic, is a stripe pattern.

Oh that is yummy....

WELL THATS A GOOD ONE. ALL I WOULD ADVISE IS REALLY SEARCH THE WEB FOR SOME KEY WORDS THAT OTHERS HAVE USED AND U DONT REALLY NEED TO DESCRIBE THE PATTEN. MAYBE START BY THE COLORS AND SHAPE OD COLLAR AND LENGHT OD DRESS. GOOD LUCK
