Print scale rules I use in production Mini floral (dense, tiny): reads sweet, but can look busy on tiered skirts Medium floral (most commercial): reads fresh, works on mini/midi Large floral (statement): reads premium if placed well, risky if misaligned Motif direction and garment movement All-over tossed floral: easiest for cutting, hides seam joins Directional floral: looks premium, but needs strict cutting control Border print: looks expensive, but pattern and grading are harder Placement zones I protect Bust apex area: I avoid putting a flower center right on the apex Center front seam/placket: I avoid obvious split flowers Hemline: I keep repeats consistent so the bottom looks clean A quick placement plan I share with buyers Which fabric types and print methods work best for floral/printed A-line dresses
