A busy print is one with a lot of details and contrasting colors, usually repeated all over the dress. A busy print isn't a bad thing at all, you just have to be aware of it.

If the print has lots of details, but is in colors that blend together, from far away the details fade into a cohesive look. If the print has lots of details in contrasting colors, but isn't all over the dress and is confined to the bottom of the skirt, it doesn't read as too busy because of all the "blank" space the dress has.

See pic related for what I consider a busy print. It's a nice dress, with large images instead of finicky tiny ones like a lot of quilting cottons have, and I picked the least busy color combo it came in, but it's still busy.
