Women’s Clothing

Fashion trends never really die, and this season in particular is bringing us old styles revamped. Mod cuts and styles are huge, but the prints we’re seeing are reminiscent of another age. 70’s paisleys in earthy tones are back as strong as ever. Art Nouveau inspired curls and lines cover fabrics from chiffons to satins.

An unexpected revival comes in the form of Tie Dye. This look hasn’t been around for years, but no one is complaining about the update. The colors have shifted from saturated rainbows, to deep gem tones, making this old look relevant again.

70’s inspired peasant tunic tops are here again, and have been since last fall. This long running trend shows no signs of dying out – likely because of the comfort of the billowy cuts. You don’t need to raid mom’s closet anymore for amazing retro and vintage looks.

For those of you carrying bridal fashions, be on the lookout for the very best stock in bridesmaids gowns as the wedding season approaches!”The brides are saying I want them to wear it again,” said Monta Vaden, a certified wedding specialist at Wedding Wonderland in West Knoxville. “Some of them look like party dresses.”One reason dresses translate to other occasions is length.”The trend is tea-length to cocktail, which is about right at the knee,” Vaden said. “This makes them kind of flirty but sophisticated.”

The higher hemline plays to a certain bridal demographic. “The average bride that comes in here is 19 to 24,” Vaden said. “Her bridesmaids are going to want something young and sexy, so they are going for the shorter dresses.”

Silhouettes for the little numbers range from classic A-lines to empire-waist goddess designs. Some have a simple natural waist with an easy skirt. Also, the bubble skirt is blowing up.

Fabrics also make them easy sells. There is polished cotton, which has a soft casualness and creates a dress that works for more relaxed or outdoor weddings. Chiffon adds elegant movement to the pieces. Of course, silk is popular, as is taffeta. Some makers have opted for polyester-silk blends, which has a super-lightweight hand. The Alfred Angelo label has done a knit-jersey line of bridesmaid dresses. “The fabric drapes beautifully and flatters every body type,” says Alfred Angelo designer Michael Shettel. “The combination of a unique fabric and trendy styling means these dresses can be worn again. Whether to a summer cocktail party, fancy dinner out or next year’s holiday parties.” Vaden said some brides are snapping up the dresses for rehearsal dinners. Also, she has sold some of the dresses to high schoolers during the prom season, where shorter looks took center stage.

At A Joyous Occasion, Frye has seen interest in them from mothers of the bride. “I encourage younger mothers to look at bridesmaids dresses,” she said. “A lot of the things for them are so matronly.” Although short is in vogue now, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for long dresses. “Some girls get nervous about the hem not falling at the same place (on their bridesmaids) with the shorter dresses,” Frye said. “I say eliminate the stress and go long.”

In necklines, strapless reigns supreme, with emphasis on the sweetheart. Halters are an option, too.

Details make the dresses pop. Waist interests are key, from skinny belts to bold obi-style sashes. Ruching (vertical and horizontal) at the bodice works, as does pleating. Some even have pockets.

As far as color, citrus brights are hot right now. On the other end are neutrals: black, brown, and taupe. Metallics are popular, as well. And it seems white bridesmaids dresses are no longer a no-no.

“The rules are out the window,” Frye said. “It’s all about personal style and about what the bride envisions.”

Looking for some great summer dress stock, but don’t know all the jargon? Cuts, shapes, and color names can be so confusing. Well, here’s a handy guide to help you make sense of the words designers use to describe their products. Here are a few of the more common terms used when talking about dresses.

A-line Dress – A-line dresses are generally waistless. They start out with a narrow top, and flare out with straight sides to form an ‘A’ shape. A-line skirts follow the same pattern. This cut is great for people who want to hide a little something around the waist.

Bubble hem Dress - The bubble shape is one of the hottest new trends, and shows no signs of going away. The bubble shape features a gathered hem that is fixed to a shorter lining beneath. The effect is a round hemline with no visible edge. This shape is perfect for anyone who wants to hide their thighs without sacrificing their legs.

Crystal Pleat – This is a very fine, permanent pleat in fabric. Generally in sheer fabrics, but with its growing popularity, the style has expanded to include satins and polyesters.

Geometric Print – A geometric print is any print that features either angular, or abstract shapes in its design.

Mod Dress – A mod dress is any dress that is reminiscent of styles worn by the fashion icons of the 60’s. Mod dresses are generally, but not always A-line shapes, and often feature trapeze necks.

Trapeze Neck – This means something in between straps, and a halter neck. The back of the neck is usually high, while the front swings down. It’s a popular shape for people who want to show off their arms and shoulders, because it’s a bit classier than most sleeveless cuts.

Viscose – Viscose is a new fabric made of a form of Rayon. It’s benefits are that is it lightweight, silky, and it breathes much like a cotton weave. Many of our finer Cable and Gauge tops are made of Viscose.

Everyone is a tiny bit weight conscious these days, but if you have customers who are looking for flattering shapes for summer, you might want to check out some of the great new arrivals we have in plus size and Missy tops. Soft stretchy fabrics, and light, comfortable cottons are in stock.

Take for instance, these Cable and Gauge Missy tops. We have them in a gorgeous purple and blue, and the fabric moves to accommodate any figure by hugging the curves, without accentuating them. The deep V neck brings all the attention right where it should be.

We also have some new Unique Spectrum tops, such as this Plus size top, which is also available in Missy sizes. The gathering in the back assures that it will draw in neatly at the waist, and let out again to give the perfect hourglass figure effect. In addition, we also have this great Unique Spectrum tunic top, which is sure to please, with a lovely summer palette.

Everyone is clamoring for the season’s best colors, and it pays to keep up with the trends. Some colors will always be classic, but if you want to capitalize on the hot 2008 summer colors, now is the time to update your stock.

Blue has been in designer color palettes for quite some time now, so it’s no surprise to see it boldly displayed in summer collections this year. Bright electric blues make exciting statements, but for some customers, cooler pastels and faded blues are a way to safely edge into the trend. Teal and Aqua shades have always been a hallmark of summer, which you can’t afford to overlook.

Purple is another carryover from autumn 2007, though it has recently been updated by thrilling mixtures of hot pinks and fuchsias. Lilac is the natural summer complement to the warm wintery plums and burgundies. Look for cool purples to pair with dark denims and vivid primaries.

Metallic is back, particularly in shimmery gold and bronzed tones. Look for ways to pair a bit of shine with other popular seasonal colors. For instance, these Cable & Gauge split v neck blouses.

Wholesale customers are the most important aspect of our business and we’re proud to be associated with so many fine independent retailers. Julie Ann Apparel would like to wish you all a Happy Easter.

When it comes to finding affordable wholesale capri pants, it all comes down to the name game. Some people call them wholesale cropped pants, some call them wholesale capri pants, and others refer to them as wholesale pedal pushers.

Why pedal pushers, you might ask? Well, the term was coined in the early 1940’s by designer Lynn Eccleston, who experimented by cutting the bottoms off of women’s slacks. They appeared sporty and friendly to female bicycle riders. Hence, “pedal” pushers.

Eventually pedal pushers, also known as cropped pants or capri pants, became a fashion statement in the late 50’s and early 60’s. 

Actresses could be seen on the Mary Tyler Moore show wearing them, however, Audrey Hepburn is recognized as the celebrity that made pedal pushers a fad in the mid 50’s.

For the past five years, wholesale cropped pants have become popular all over again. As they say, everything old becomes new again at some point, and now is that time.

Pedal pushers are fashionable, stylish, trendy, and fortunately–it looks like they’ll be around for quite a while. So, who’s wearing pedal pushers now? A lot of actresses! Regardless of age, size, or shape - many women are comfortable in pedal pushers and cropped pants.

One example of a celebrity in pedal pushers is Chloe Sevigny, pictured left.
