Bold colours usually scream of attention, but the extra can be subdued with a measured dose of neutral and earth tones. I speak of African Prints inspired by a strong traditional and cultural heritage, using technology imported from Java and marketed popularly in West Africa.
As a custom in some African traditions these fabrics are a component of the dowry required to take a woman's hand in marriage. You bet the more of these fabrics presented by the groom during the engagement ceremony the smoother the two family relations will be down the road.
I remember growing up my Mom spoke fondly of the premium Holland Print that served a status symbol in certain African circles. There are a large assortment of prints available for every occasion, from funerals to weddings and engagements and every thing else in between.
There is no question though how beautiful these prints look...
