Ebay Spring Trend - Full Figured

I know many of you have been waiting patiently for the first available chance to expose those sun deprived legs. However, this spring trend may just change your mind.

Seen at runways such as Thakoon and Donna Karan, this season's full skirt keeps those gams covered yet still effortlessly sexy and stylish. This 1950s wardrobe staple can either exude ladylike glamour (a la Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina) or fun and playfulness. Here are a few options that can fulfill both those needs.

FUN FIESTA COLORS vintage late 70s, early 80s sun dress! This great Mexican inspired dress has a flirty, 1950's bombshell look to it. The dress is black, turquoise blue, red and vibrant yellow. It is a soft cotton, the kind that has "meant to be there" wrinkles in it (crinkle cotton).
