I really like dresses that have an interesting print, like this bird-printed dress from McQ, by Alexander McQueen. For $545, it's a bit pricey, but if you've got the dough to spend, you can snag one of these bad boys at ShopJake Online. It's got adorable detailing, like the blouson sleeves and the gathered drop-waist, as well as the wide-boat neck. You could wear this casually as a day-dress, or spice it up with a pair of black ankle boots and chunky silver jewelry for going out at night.
If you are mad about bird prints but don't want to spend 6 hundee on a McQ number, Mara Hoffman makes a cute bird printed gray tunic that goes for $173 at Singer22. Kerrigan makes a side-snap tunic dress in a birds and barbed wire print (how rock and roll is that?) for $94 at Tobi.
I'm not a print girl (you'll rarely see me wear flowers) but if there is a weird, kinda creepy print out there (strange birds, odd vegetation, snakes, rats) you bet I'll find a way to integrate it into my wardrobe...
So I just found out what Ikat (or Ikkat) print means. Ikat - which means 'to tie' or 'to bind' in the Mayan language, is a print traditionally seen on wall-hangings, which is created by dying portions of thread and then weaving them into a cloth. Ikat print actually exists in many different cultures, and from South American to Southeast Asian to European (Spanish) textile making, Ikat lays a part in each culture independent of the others.
