Plumo and Beyond Retro Feminine Floral Garments

The high street now has countless versions of flower festooned dresses. The frocks have itsy, ditsy, floral dolly prints or big blousy cabbage rose blooms.
See how printed fabrics have tiny pinhead flowers that look like they belong in wild meadows, or compete swathes of fabric are covered in tropical exotic blooms and jungle plants.
