Giant Houndstooth Pattern - WTF?

12 replies

NotQuiteCockney · 23/09/2006 08:37

What on earth is up with the giant houndstooth patterns? Houndstooth is meant to be woven into fabric, not printed on top, in giant patterns, ludicrously pixelated!

I am really oblivious to styles, but this one is really annoying me. Anyone else?

I'm wearing it to our lunch WWW

Yes, exactly. I've seen another one in the window of Dotty Ps.

Houndstooth is fine, as a small pattern, but giant, it looks horrible.

The huge pattern is grim. I don't mind the odd bit of puppytooth though.

I like it fine if it's "real" (i.e. not printed on!). You can't have it real and huge, not unless the fabric is really unwearably thick, I think.

It is extremely unflattering imo, makes the skinny models look like heifers!

Carmenere, you're right - I hadn't noticed that, too busy being offended by the horrible pixelated fake hounstooth ...
