Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Very odd choice to just leave the middle one on the last row blank.

Fret is my favorite because I'm autistic and I like paths and that kind of patterns.

And my least favorite is Fleur de Lis. Because fuck royalty. :3

I love floral because it's full of organic shapes and often brightly colored. But I hate paisley and tie-dye, which makes no sense and I have no explanation for it.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Paisley always feels like I’m looking at protists. That could be considered a plus or minus, depending.

The "double-happy" emblem of Chinese embroidery, etc. is a nice one:

I'm also fond of the taijitu:

Then there's the long/feng illustration that you can find all over in millions of variations:

herringbone is pretty great

more of a weave structure than a pattern, but it's my pick regardless

I have a dressing gown that's made of a cool herringbone weave, and it looks super cool from a distance — almost like it's iridescent

Edit: I realised I was sitting on my dressing gown, so here's a close up image. I can't capture the cool sheen type effect on camera unfortunately

Houndstooth is a great dark academia look, and plaid is classic. I have a lot of bad associations with camo.

It's #2 on the bottom row.

Edit: Well played. Take my upvote. 😆

Definitely scales is my favorite out of these options, and camo is my least.

Wonder how many of these would be replicable in Tunisian crochet! 👀

this is what i decided on as well!

Excellent post! I love patterns, most of my clothes are bright colours and/or patterns. They're vibrant and engaging. I'd say my favourite are polka dot and damask. Polka dot is just fun, light hearted and easy to wear. Damask is just pretty and kinda elegant. I'm not a fan of geometric I'm too girly for it

I've always liked granite or stone patterns. Sometimes wood grain patterns.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 3 weeks ago

Out of these options I like plaid the best - you can take the girl outta the nineties but you can't take the nineties outta the girl, I guess! And the one I hate the most is camouflage. I haaaaate camo.
