Maxi and Mini-maxi

I whipped up these maxi dresses for AuBrynne and myself last night. They came out pretty cute! And they are uber-comfortable!











I think they would work well for a day at the beach or picnic or at the outdoor shopping mall or even to a nice casual summer wedding.





 However, this dress is yet to be named.  I had one of those moments where I thought of the right name but, but between driving and the three year old mini-me telling me something random and cute, it is totally gone!









I had a few ideas:
1: On the soap opera I watch, The Young and the Restless (yes, I watch it...), the character, Ashley would wear it. 
2: The actress on the show that would wear it in real life would be Michelle Stafford.  She plays Phyllis on the show.
3: The character Melinda on Ghost Whisperer could be seen in this one.


 
 But maybe none of those are right and it needs to be something else?


So, folks, give me some suggestions of what to name this pretty lady, please!

    These look like the perfect summer dresses...cool and comfy. Playing on the polka dot print, what about...."Mother Dotters"....or something like that?

    My immediate thought for a name was Colette. Great dresses and your little one is adorable!

    I am going for bubbles, because it sounds all happy and fresh. Cute dresses for summer. In the 60s it was common for moms and daughter dresses, it was always great fun to have my own little version of pretty dresses.

    Hello...

    Ooooh...I love your dresses!!! What a creative and talented lady you are! You are absolutely right, so pretty and very appropriate for a summer garden party or a day on the beach! And...I do see Melinda from Ghost Whisperer wearing this pretty dress!

    I really enjoyed all of your photos also...your daughter is such a sweetie...a beautiful little girl and I just love her name! I think you should name your pretty dress after her...AuBrynne! Sounds perfect to me!!! Thanks you so much for joining in with Sunday Favorites this week...it's such a pleasure to have you! I do apologize at being so late to get by for a visit though...it's just been crazy busy at my place! Hope you'll come and join us again, my friend!

    Warmest wishes,
    Chari @Happy To Design

    It doesn't matter what you name them...the sweetness of making mom-daughter dresses that adorable speaks for itself. I could eat that daughter of yours with a spoon (in a good way of course)!
