Romantic Ruffles

This summer I noticed something with ruffles was always in one of my inspiration folders.  Yes, I’m one of those designers with dozens of inspiration folders divided by categories, but I’ll leave that obsession for another post.  Last weekend the ruffles were back on my mind when I was looking for party dresses for my upcoming tropical vacation.
Ruffles are so feminine, romantic, and add texture to any home decor.  Here are some of the ruffles that I love.

I’ve always loved this Anthropologie shower curtain. But now Urban Outfitters sells a more affordable version available in 6 solid colors.

How adorable are these ruffled tablecloth and dishes?
