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

Bump for creative wordy people

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

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

Amethyst Swirl

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

Indigo India

You could go even further and go with
Purple Reign 😃

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?

What a strange pose for the model!

Aubergine Violet
Aubergine swirl
Aubergine halter
Passionfruit Violet
Figgy Swirl
Aubergine Fig
Lavender passionfruit
Passionfruit paisley

Is she doing yoga? Or a poo?!

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

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

I think it's a plie in second

Definitely Amethyst Swirl!

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?

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

Just got a load of new duvets and sheet delivered

So excited!!

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

Elizabethan Blush & Grey Garland after a lot of sillyshallying!

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...

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
