Spring-autumn patterns in a cage look especially organically. Sheath dresses are suitable for different images - from a gentle evening to a strict office. A modern trend in their tailoring is the emphasis on creativity and a little pretentiousness of the outfit. In many of the designer’s creations, the checkered print is presented on a fitted bodice, flounces on the hem, and complex draperies. Patterns combining a cell located in a different direction, as well as squares of the same type with different sizes, are relevant.
