Take a marble, dip it in paint and water, and let it roll around a canvas. After a few moments, you’ll be left with an incredibly unique design—and one that works in far more arenas than simple arts and crafts. Marble print has made its way into the sartorial zeitgeist, blessing us all with a truly unexpected new look to try. And while this might not seem like a huge deal, think to yourself: When is the last time a new print was introduced into our orbits? Animal prints, polka dots, florals—they’ve all existed for decades. Marble print, on the other hand, is brand-spanking-new. And this (along with the fact that this trend is simply gorgeous) makes plus-size marble print dresses worth shopping immediately.
Like anything new in fashion, plus-size folks are typically the last to get it. Brands whip out trends in straight sizes faster than lightening, but anything above a size 14 often takes years before it hits the shelves (physical or virtual). Because of this, it will likely be a while before plus-size marble print dresses are everywhere—but we can be sure they (eventually) will be. After all, they’re just too cute to resist.
Thankfully, though, some of our favorite brands and retailers have already hopped on the marble print bandwagon over the last few months. This means that size-inclusive marble print dresses—from bodycon minis to babydoll styles—can make their way into your wardrobes this season. (!)
Almost like a 21st century version of the classic animal print, marble print is all kinds of eye-catching. Worn in neutral hues or bright colors, there’s no way this trend won’t stand out. And that’s a good thing. In a world where we rarely get new and fresh prints to play with, having marble print clothing come in and spice things up is a serious treat—and we can’t wait to see where this trend goes next.
