Dotyczy wzoru np. na krawacie. Czy paisley w ogóle tłumaczy sie na polski?

wzor paisley
Explanation:
jak wynika z ponizszego linku (gdzie mozna rowniez obejrzec przyklady) nazwa pochodzi od miasta w Szkocji:
From the cold climes of Cashmere in the mountainous northern region of India came luxurious eastern textiles with distinctive patterns. One design, a curious teardrop pattern derived from the palm trees of Babylon, became synonymous with a certain garment and a Scottish town. It is of course the Paisley pattern, which for more than 150 years has been prized for its stunning designs and quality. As the last company involved in the manufacture of shawls in Paisley today, Whitehill & Wilsons is proud to continue the town's long-standing tradition. Conserving the world famous Paisley pattern through its products, has always been close to the heart of Whitehill & Wilsons. The company's own archive of original Paisley designs is truly a treasure and patterns from this have been used in our collection.

Dzięki - wygląda na to, że po prostu będę musiał zostawić Paisley... Bo żadne tureckie wzory czy esy-floresy się tu nie nadają. Pozdrawiam, Bohdan Piasecki.

neutral  Himawari: pamietam, ze dawniej sie tak mowilo. Ale mysle, ze to slowo raczej wyszlo z uzycia w mlodszej generacji. Moze by nie tlumaczyc?

we wzorki/ esy floresy


Explanation:
'a distinctive intricate pattern of curved feather-shaped figures based on an Indian pine cone design'

W ponizszym linku 'paisley pyjamas' przetlumaczono 'pizama we wzorki', ale moim zdanem nie jest to zbyt dokladne okreslenie. Upieralabym sie przy esach-floresach

Harry stepped aside, but with Ron in front of the mirror, he couldn\'t see his family any more, just Ron in his paisley pyjamas.

(12/229) Harry przesunął się trochę, ale kiedy Ron stanął na przeciwko lustra nie widział już swojej rodziny - tylko Rona w piżamie we wzorki.

[Paisley to tkanina ozdobiona charakterystycznym wzorem geometrycznym, popularna zwłaszcza w latach 70.-tych.]
