Help me name my new dress form! Prizes for the winning name… {CLOSED}

by | Aug 23, 2011 | Giveaways, Vintette | 82 comments

She’s here!

I was insanely pleased last week when my lovely new dress form arrived! She is everything I wished for, and I can’t wait to put her to work in her new position as my jewellery (and possibly clothes??) model.

I took her through a bit of a trial run to see how she looks – and I’m super-happy with her work! The neutral colours! The lovely shape! The sexy legs!

However – I have a dilemma! She is far to lovely and anthropomorphic to keep calling her ‘the dress form’ – so I need a name.

Can you help me, dear reader? Can you suggest the perfect name for my lovely girl?

Those of you who follow me on twitter and facebook would have already perhaps made some suggestions last week – make sure to enter here by putting your suggestion below! We had lots of gorgeous ye-olde girl’s names crop up.

The winner will be the person who suggests the name I finally choose for her! I’ll make a choice by Saturday (the 27th of August 11) of the week, and announce it here.

So – what does the winner win? I think perhaps your choice of goodies from Vintette, up to $25 in value! So leave a comment below with your suggestion, and go browse Vintette to see what pretty you might choose.

P.S. These two necklaces are in-store now!

    Hilde… it was what popped into my head when I saw it…

    I had a dress form that I eventually sold when we moved. There just wasn’t room for the old girl in the moving truck. Her name was Agnes. That’s the name I’m going to suggest for yours.

    Nancy

    @Nancy, Agnes was the first name I thought of when I saw her!

    Or maybe Bessie?

    A classy lady like that needs a classy name, with a bit of life and energy, and not too old fashioned because we wouldn’t want her to feel old! I suggest Lucille. 🙂

  5. Teresa
    Teresa on August 23, 2011 at 9:08 am

    Miss Edith was the first name that popped into my head when I saw her.

  6. Teresa
    Teresa on August 23, 2011 at 9:09 am

    I also like the name Rosalind. 🙂

    Danielle Miller on August 23, 2011 at 9:30 am

    Gladys… don’t know why, but that is what she reminds me of.

  8. Karen
    Karen on August 23, 2011 at 9:35 am

    Evette is the name that pops in my head. Can’t wait to see what you name her.

  9. Nicole
    Nicole on August 23, 2011 at 9:48 am

    Esther – I love that name.

  10. Holly Leonardson
    Holly Leonardson on August 23, 2011 at 10:18 am

    I would call her Betty Draper, mainly because I am a fan of Mad Men and Betty was a model herself.

    • Elizabeth
      Elizabeth on August 23, 2011 at 7:01 pm

      I came back to change my answer. Betty Draper is the PERFECT name!

  11. Marie Swope
    Marie Swope on August 23, 2011 at 10:22 am

    She’s a lady. Her name could be Lottie.
    And her middle name could be Lynn.
    Lottie Lynn VanDen.
    Yep. What do you think??

  12. Bianca
    Bianca on August 23, 2011 at 10:23 am

    the first thing that came to my mind was ‘LUCY’ 🙂

  13. Bel
    Bel on August 23, 2011 at 10:30 am

    I think you should call her LOLA, its always reminds me of old school glamour 🙂 and was the first name that popped into my head when I saw her curves

  14. Emma
    Emma on August 23, 2011 at 10:31 am

    How about Lovely Loretta? hehe

  15. Cathy
    Cathy on August 23, 2011 at 10:32 am

    Well Jess, I think she looks like a Ruby to me! Stylish, sassy and a real gem! x

  16. Kathryn
    Kathryn on August 23, 2011 at 10:41 am

    I thought maybe Maude at first, but then “Ellie” popped into my head too – maybe because she looks so elegant? (Elli-gant?! Now I’m just being silly, aren’t I?) But I do hope you find the perfect name for her 🙂

  17. Simone
    Simone on August 23, 2011 at 10:44 am

    She’s a Sadie if ever I met one.

  18. hannah
    hannah on August 23, 2011 at 10:47 am

    How about ‘Baby’ if you plan to not keep her in the corner?
    Or Blanche, due to her neutral tones?
    Or Norma Jean, for her stunning shape?
    Good luck on finding the right name for her… 🙂

  19. Ann
    Ann on August 23, 2011 at 10:48 am

    Oh she’s lovely! I’ll go with Evangeline just because I think it’s a beautiful, old fashioned name. Perhaps Evie for when you’re in a hurry. 🙂

  20. Georgia
    Georgia on August 23, 2011 at 11:12 am

    I think you should call her Gerdy. Because she will be girt (surrounded) by material and other goodies. And on occasion she will make you laugh like a giggling gerdy.

  21. Allegrovin
    Allegrovin on August 23, 2011 at 11:18 am

    I suggest Desiree (To be Desired) 🙂
    May all your creations be desired cos ‘alle groovin’, xx

    Sharon on August 23, 2011 at 11:26 am

    Roberta is what came to me…womanly and classy(but has a few little secrets)
    This is cool to see what names people think of
    ~smiles~

  24. claire
    claire on August 23, 2011 at 12:02 pm

    she wants to be called tightey whitey!!!!!!or TW for short!!!

  25. Lynn
    Lynn on August 23, 2011 at 12:23 pm

    Sophie, that’s the name that came to mind. A beautiful, down-to-earth girl.

    Miss Violet White pops in when I look at her, she is very, very stylish isn’t she. She is definitely one classy lady, elegant, refined and in charge.

  28. Lori
    Lori on August 23, 2011 at 1:19 pm

    Cynthia, most definitely Cynthia.

  29. Jane of Australia
    Jane of Australia on August 23, 2011 at 1:22 pm

    When I 1st saw her, I thought ‘Diana’. THE real Diana was oftern referred to as a clothes horse and what a beautiful one she was. And this one is a beauty too. Then I thought of a last name…Doors, because your clothes are always photographed in front of doors. You have even introduced us to this Gem in front of a door,
    So Diana Doors and you could call her DD or DeeDee for short…
    Jane

  30. Jane of Australia
    Jane of Australia on August 23, 2011 at 1:23 pm

    Ok not always in front of doors, but often.

  31. Lita
    Lita on August 23, 2011 at 1:45 pm

    I’m thinking Martha. No idea why, but Martha just seems right. Or Lucy!

  32. Merryl Chantrell
    Merryl Chantrell on August 23, 2011 at 1:54 pm

    Call her Emmy as in the movie ‘Mannequin”. Well she is award winning isn’t she? :o)

  33. Manda
    Manda on August 23, 2011 at 2:07 pm

    I thought Cecilia when I saw her – she is fabulous!

  34. Michelle
    Michelle on August 23, 2011 at 2:11 pm

    Bella-Maria or Belle

  35. anastasia
    anastasia on August 23, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    the first name that popped into my head is
    ASTRID!

    cute!! and a fun competition…

  36. Sue Maynes
    Sue Maynes on August 23, 2011 at 2:56 pm

    She is so shapely, but hides behind that “body stocking”. I think she has a hidden personality that will bloom with the accessories you give her Jess. She’s a Dolores!

  37. Anne Fraser
    Anne Fraser on August 23, 2011 at 3:11 pm

    Her name is Nell. Simple, but sweet and old-fashioned. Suitable for the modern girl as well; I have a daughter called Nell. You can call her Nellie for long, when you feel like it.

  38. Kitty Hugo
    Kitty Hugo on August 23, 2011 at 3:13 pm

    JOAN….. Good solid name for a lady who is hard working but definitely glamourous …..

  39. Charlotte
    Charlotte on August 23, 2011 at 6:26 pm

    How about Georgette, at times can be Georgie Girl.
    Or Chameleon as she is always changing her outer clothing, can be shorten to Chammy. Or I can be cheeky and say Charlotte can be shorten to Lottie or Charmaine both can also be shorten to Charlie. When I think of names more then one always pops into my head. Have fun although choosing may be hard with all the great suggestions.

    Deb (Two Cheeky Monkeys) on August 23, 2011 at 7:01 pm

    Ohh, what a lovely dress form! She’s definitely a “Veronica”, a pretty, vintage name. 🙂

  41. robin stone
    robin stone on August 23, 2011 at 7:07 pm

    I’d call her Sheila! (Lucy is awesome too!) Good luck and gratz on the new form!!!

  42. hannyb
    hannyb on August 23, 2011 at 8:24 pm

    Ivy. Love how it pairs with both Epheriell and Vintette!

  43. Laura
    Laura on August 23, 2011 at 10:48 pm

    She’s a lovely lady form, therefore should be named “Mildred”. An old-fashioned, pretty name with added strength.

  44. Thea
    Thea on August 23, 2011 at 11:04 pm

    I can’t believe no one has said it yet…but she.is.Polly.
    No doubt about it.
    Oh..and where did you get her. I want..no..NEED one too!?

  45. Danielle
    Danielle on August 23, 2011 at 11:29 pm

    how about ‘DAISY’ from the Great Gatsby 🙂

  47. jc
    jc on August 24, 2011 at 1:11 am

    Lady Anastasia sounds very aristocratic, the perfect fit for the perfect form!

    I love the Sneakers Necklace, it’s so funky!

  48. Melissa
    Melissa on August 24, 2011 at 1:15 am

    Sylvia!

  49. Midge
    Midge on August 24, 2011 at 5:30 am

    What a beautiful gal! What about Elsie or Rose? I can’t wait to see what you pick!

  50. Sally Oakley
    Sally Oakley on August 24, 2011 at 9:45 am

    My suggestion is: ‘Modeleine’. It seems appropriate for a feminine form who models. xx
