Power of mumsnet: can you find a lobelia coloured dress suitable for a bridesmaid?

I've just been asked to be a bridesmaid and the bride is really keen to have lobelia coloured dresses. We do have the option of having dresses made as her mum is a talented seamstress, but she doesn't like the fabric that they have managed to find in exactly the right shade.

Wondered if anyone has spotted anything that could be suitable and bought from a high street shop?

Lucky for me I am a House of Colour jewel winter and it is one of my double star colours by total chance!

Lobellia come in Lots of different colours , what colour is she thinking of?

It's the colour lobelia. It is a shade that is somewhere between a deep royal blue and a purple.

I think it will be impossible online as lighting may make it look too blue or purple.

my best guess

Oh dear, I read this as labia coloured... Then first post says 'they come in all different colours...'

Took a few minutes to get my head around Blush

Haha mrscumberbatch!

Thanks lucked that's a really nice dress and nice colour but may be too purple for her. Agree it could be a tricky one to find online.
