Need a fabulous purple dress - anyone seen any out there?

[dinkystinky]

My sister is getting married in September - she wants me and her two best friends who are bridesmaids (sort of) to wear purple. I'm Indian so need a tone of purple that works with darker skin (think dark golden skin). 5 foot 4, size 10-12 - good arms, nice upper body, tummy has a tendency to podge (thanks DC!), good but slightly heavy legs. Have been browsing online for a fab purple dress but cant see anything so thought would ask the style & beauty gurus if they've seen any recently. Anyone?

www.net-a-porter.com/product/103415 is lovely

I like this but it is not the right purple for you is it?
you need more this colour? but th edress doesn't look very nice fitting.

have a look there some are truly hideous but a lot are nice too (even if the ones I like cost ££££)

Thanks! The Issa dress is lovely - but I'd have to try it on to see how the colour looks on me. The Ponti Pencil dress - I tried this but the purple in real life isnt the colour on the website and didnt look as good on. The Oasis one is great but not a huge fan of pleats (am a fussy bugger arent I)? The Hobbs one is really pretty but will need to try on to check the colour - and the Coast one would look hideous on me as would definitely accentuate my tummy! The last website you sent through is a good inspiration though - and the ones that caught my attention flicking through all seemed to cost ££££ too
