Prints on dresses for spring and summer 2024

Floral prints will probably never fade. True, in the new season, flowers are not only combined with the flora, but also with abstract patterns. Sometimes a floral print appears in a somewhat blurred, not strictly delineated outline, which resembles the paints of fancy colors. Basically, many designers preferred large-sized flowers, sometimes rarely scattered across the field. A large floral print on laconic dresses is the best way to attract attention.
