Need a name for a dress with a Purple synonym?

[KatyMac]

Made a dress and it's a sort of purple and white Paisley

So I need a name - really stuck with this one

Plum Paisley works but it is more Royal Purple than Plum & it's a bit naff

So I'm after purple related words or ideas

[KatyMac]

Bump for creative wordy people

[penguingorl]

I'm not surprised you didn't get any replies, it's near impossible to think of a synonym for paisley! I was thinking amethyst would work for the purple so maybe something like amethyst dapple? It sounds lovely but probably doesn't work! Amethyst swirl? Although now I want an ice-cream 😹

Paisley Park? After His Royal Purpleness, Prince?

Paisley Orchid
Violet in Paisley
Indigo Paisley

[MrsAvocet]

On the Prince theme, I was thinking Purple Rain, as the swirls in a paisley pattern remind me of raindrops.

[AdaColeman]

Amethyst Swirl

[NumbsMet]

Periwinkle Paisley? Periwinkle varies in colour but there are some deeper purple shades in there

[AdaColeman]

Indigo India

[cravingthelook]

You could go even further and go with
Purple Reign 😃

[KatyMac]

I am leaning toward amethyst swirl

But the whole rain/reign thing is good too

Still decided, but with a better range of things to make a decision from

Thanks everyone

Violet haze?

Plum Paisley is a colour of nail polish at the nail salon I go to.

Sherlock
I was thinking the same, why is the model squatting??

[KatyMac]

I think it's a plie in second

Definitely Amethyst Swirl!

[Elouera]

BTW- I like the cut of the dress, but not into paisley or purple. Does it come in other patterns or styles if I wanted to get it myself?

[KatyMac]

I make them out of old duvet covers - I use a lot of pre-loved or vintage fabrics to make my clothes

Depending on how long you want the skirt you might need a kingsize but that was a double & I made 2 the other one had a different pattern but I didn't get any good pictures of it

I have a cream, blush pink & teal floral coming up soon I think

My supplies have really reduced since lockdown

[KatyMac]

Just got a load of new duvets and sheet delivered

So excited!!

[penguingorl]

Ooh! Good day for us makers yesterday! I'm swooning over my delivery of holographic glitters! Happy sewing @KatyMac 🤩

[KatyMac]

@penguingorl & @AdaColeman - I finished 2 last week that need names - Obviously everyone else I would love your help - there were some marvellous suggestions but I can't name check everyone sorry (forgive me)

One is an OTT grey princess dress (full sleeves, full skirt not princess line - bit 80s?) Toile de Jouy & fleur de Lis with a bit of upholstery fabric

The other is Dusky Pink, with touches of black and gold - somehow it's more puritan! with big sleeves and an overskirt!

Any ideas?

The third I finished is forest green Sanderson fabric with huge gold and brown flowers - which has ended up being called 'Forest Garland'

[KatyMac]

Elizabethan Blush & Grey Garland after a lot of sillyshallying!

[MovingSwiftlyOn]

Lovely idea @katyMac. I'm in the process of making a dress from an duvet cover I've had for ages, which had a pretty inset panel in it. I haven't made anything for 40 years so didn't want to spend any money on fabric until I'd got my confidence back. I never expected that I'd actually want to wear it, but so far it's looking quite good and if I finish it without cocking it up, I think I might! I'd love to see more of your creations...

[KatyMac]

Thanks - you will wear it - after all you liked it enough to try to do something with it

Sent you a link to my stuff - just ignore if you don't want

Love sewing with discarded cloth - creating with what is essentially waste is fab - doing a wedding dress atm and loving it!

Glasgow kiss?

Possibly not the image I am cultivating
