Ikat Print Dresses

By -
Ikat is a type of weaving that is made to resist dye. It's distinct in that you'll usually see some of the natural color of the fabric. While this process is done all over the world, it is most popular in Central and South America. This trend has been around for a few months now, but I've been ignoring it. It's not really my thing. But last week I saw a woman in an Ikat dress with simple sandals, gold jewelry and sunglasses, and thought she was the perfect picture of summer.Top: faux two-piece belted dress, Arden B $78
black v-neck with green trim, Macy's $79
teal and purple strapless dress, Nicole Miller $76.50 (Down from $255!)
black and white Ikat maxi dress, Forever 21 $24.80
Bottom: maxi tube dress, Charlotte Russe $32.99
mini shift, Walter at Dillard's $268
blue sundress, Forever 21 $22.80

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion.
