I see so many clothes described as having abstract prints but I’ll have to admit I am not 100% sure what an abstract print is. I just tend to think of the abstract print as being a kind of swirly or design of lines that does not represent anything. I have seen some really gorgeous abstract print dresses usually with very striking designs. I thought it was time that I found out exactly what abstract really means. I found the following definition in www.dictionary.reference.com
adjective

| 2. |
expressing a quality or characteristic apart from any specific object or instance, as justice, poverty, and speed. |
