My tips for rocking the ruffles:
♥ Stick to ruffles in only one or two articles of clothing. For example, don’t mix an overly ruffle top with a way too ruffly skirt, that is unless you are Carmen Miranda.
♥ Don’t overdo the ruffles and prints. Most of the time ruffles look best in a solid print, or a print that is not too busy.
♥ Unless you want to look like a cupcake try to avoid too much light pink and purple ruffles. For the right situation however, is fun to look like a cupcake!
♥ Try to keep a good form beneath the ruffles. Yes there are a few really cute shift type ruffle dresses, but these ruffles can add bulk, and are very hard to wear on anything above stick thin. Instead try a fitted top and a ruffle skirt like the one above.

I love ruffled panties, like the ones you put on here, they’re so cute. I want a pair, or all of underwear to be them, but jeez, they probably add volume to your butt.
