help needed with bridesmaid's dress please

[lirael]

My sister is getting married in the summer. I am matron of honour, my niece is bridesmaid. All that my sister asks is that we both wear purple - we don't have to wear the same style of dress.

I have my dress, courtesy of MNetters - its the first image below (you only need to see the colour)
My niece wants something more formal, as she can then wear it to her university ball. The second image is a style that suits her, but they didn't have it in purple in her size.

Sooo - any ideas for a dress that would go with mine in colour (doesn't have to be the same colour, but has to be a shade of the right purple, iyswim) ? My sister will be eternally grateful.

I've used Sexy Her (I know it's a terrible name) for dresses in the past. They are really good quality and based in the UK at the end of the phone if you have a problem.

They are cut smallish, though.

Would this work or does it have to be plain?

At less than £30 you could both wear this

Oh I give up - my niece doesn't like lilac apparently! All these ideas are fab though - thank you. SexyHer looked like a definite possibility but they take 40 days to make and deliver dresses in a specific colour - the only off the peg dresses they seem to make are red or black - unless I'm reading that wrongly?

Ohthedrama - have you ordered from the US site you linked to? Did you have to pay customs charges?

Thanks all of you - I think now we will have to look at buying two off the peg purple (or mauve but NOT lilac ) dresses that will both look good on a 21 year old size 8 and a 53 year old size 16!!

I think this could flatter both sizes.

Good luck, let us know what happens
