Colour blocking is back for spring with a vengence. Remember colour blocking?
This iconic Yves Saint Laurent "Mondrian" day dress from the Autumn 1965 collection is a prime example of colour blocking in the past.
Colour blocking is fabulous and I have to say that I'm happy to see this trend make a re-appearance.
I'm not so thrilled about the simple styling of the YSL dress when colour blocking first made an appearance. It is the graphic colouring that makes the look.
I would love to try my hand at a coloured blocked dress. I would use this Vogue pattern. I can just see it! And Sandra Betzina's Vogue 1234 is such a comfortable dress.
I wonder what bold bright colours are hiding in the fabric store shelves?
Are you happy with the return of this trend? Any plans to include it into your wardrobe?

That could be a lot of fun! I have a couple shirt patterns that I really like and fit well, and it could be a lot of fun to cut it up into some colour-blocked shapes. Be a good opportunity to try my hand at altering a pattern in this way. :)
