A printed mesh dress with distinct colour-block sections creates visual interest through both pattern and structured colour placement rather than relying on all-over print. One section of mesh might be printed whilst another is solid. Or the print might exist only on the bodice or skirt section. The colour-blocking creates definition and shape that all-over print cannot provide. This approach also means the dress reads as more intentionally constructed and less like a print was simply applied to a mesh base. Colour-blocking allows the eye to understand the silhouette more clearly which means these tend to be more flattering than all-over printed mesh. The contrast between printed and solid sections also creates visual interest without overwhelming the piece. A colour-blocked printed mesh dress becomes a distinctly designed piece rather than a mesh dress that happens to have a print on it.
