Celestial Iris…….The stars with the ferns, the stars within the shapes on the central panell, and the star bursts on the straps makes the dress heavenly (celestial). Iris is the Greek goddess of the rainbow. The crimson, raspberry, orchid, periwinkle and mint colors are just stunning!

Kate M. - November 29, 2012 - 7:55 pm

This dress feels poetic to me. It tells a story. A mix of many seasons all working together– fall, winter, spring. The name I choose is: Calliope. She was the muse of epic poetry. This poetry was meant to create excitement and drama, taking you on a journey through an adventure… Seems fitting for this vibrant, special dress!

Diana. In Roman mythology, Diana was the Goddess of the hunt and the moon. The celestial character of Diana is reflected in her connection with light and her preference for dwelling on high mountains and in sacred woods. I think it is a perfect fit.

Evangeline — From the Poem “Evangeline” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
This Dress reminds me of this Poem!
“Ye who believe in affection that hopes, and endures, and is patient,
Ye who believe in the beauty and strength of woman’s devotion,
List to the mournful tradition still sung by the pines of the forest;
List to a Tale of Love in Acadie, home of the happy.”

My first thought when I saw this dress was

because of the colorful boughs representing differences in the world and the Holiday Season (peace on earth), but I didn’t think it was a perfect name and that surely someone would have come up with another similar :)
