I say it should Definitely be called the "Strawberry Shortcake" skirt. Kids can relate to the fun character while sporting this beautifully berry colored ruffle skirt!

The skirt is adorable! When I'm looking for a pattern, I may not recall a cute name, but I will remember general description. Sometimes I've been so frustrated because the pattern name is so cute that I can't get a "search" to find it, that I just go on to something else. So, I suggest a descriptive name: "Girl's Ruffled Skirt"

I really like the idea of calling it Ribbon Candy as if it is done in the ombre colors it will give it the multi-colored ribbon candy effect as well.........who says it has to be in pink only?

My first thought was Ribbon Candy. Very sweet and reminds me of old fashioned ribbon candy, a childhood favorirte!

When my now grown daughter was little she loved anything with ruffles but she couldn't quite say the word and would always ask for fluffles. This little skirt has such fabulous ruffles that I would call it "Fluffles".

My name for this skirt would be "Hotsy Totsy". I'm going to make it for my 6 year old granddaughter. She loves ruffles!

I thought of Curly-Qu as well. Ok, plan B...so this skirt reminded me of Shirley Temple or little Orphan Annie. I suggest to name it after one of them.

It's obvious the name should be "flamenco." It reminds me of the dresses the women wear when they dance.

I think it should be named the Fluffel skirt. My geese fluff their necks up and I call it fluffeling and this reminds me of it.
