It may be Dolly Varden
Dolly Varden was a character in Charles Dickens' novel Barnaby Rudge.
The character also gave her name to a kind of flowered muslin dress for women, with a pointed bodice and tucked-up skirt, as well as to the calico mauve-and-green-spotted fabric associated with this style of dress.

Thank you - that sounds very good to me.
Dolly Varden is also Cockney Rhyming Slang for Garden, so that seems to confirm it !
