An abstract print gives you pattern without the specificity of florals or geometric shapes. It reads as modern and interesting on a dinner dress. Abstract prints in jewel tones or neutral backgrounds work because your eye can focus on the dress silhouette while still getting the visual interest of the pattern. The print should feel intentional rather than random. A midi length with an abstract pattern works across different body types because the pattern breaks up the line of the dress without clinging to it. These are the printed midi dresses that give you something to talk about without requiring a specific occasion or dress code. Look for prints where the colors are rich and the pattern is actually visible from a distance.
