It reminds me of the 60's. Liked it then...not so thrilled with it now!

I LOVE paisley fabrics! There are old fashioned ones and modern ones. I rarely see one I don't like!

never thought of them as masculine, most ones i've seen have some kind of floral with them OR, oddly enough, inside the paisley!

Please, please, post a photo. I love paisleys and want to see how you used them. Back in the 50's when we all wore printed cotton skirts, I had a green paisley skirt. I would love to have that fabric now.
