Purple Short Sleeved Dress

Have any of you seen this dress? I'm after a purple dress (or jumpsuit). Specifically:

Cadburys purple (can have a pattern but must be predominantly this colour)
Not mega formal - my ideal fabric would be something that drapes nicely and doesn't need ironing
Short sleeve (not sleeveless)
Not high neck - I'm top heavy and I like a V, wrap/cross over, square or round neck
I have a huge tum so empire line or loose around the tum.
Length below the knee, at least - can be longer
Must be able to get delivered before the 16th

Does it exist? I have searched and searched and found nothing.

Well both dresses arrived in time but sadly neither worked 😔
The Brora was the perfect colour but too tight around my chunky arms - they had no give so I couldn't bend at the elbow.
The hot squash was past floor length on me and quite thick. I almost kept it because it had that lovely drapey flowy feel and i pondered heels - but I gave my head a wobble because realistically I knew it was too thick to wear on holiday (too formal for a daytime sightseeing dress) and I really wanted something I could wear often to think of my friend.
So whilst I didn't get anything in time I will carry on looking in the shops. I wore my beloved purple jeans and a purple football shirt in the end! (She was also a fan of the team so truly wouldn't have minded) 💜

I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend, @BarefootBaritone.

It’s probably a good thing I didn’t see this thread before as my suggestion might only have caused frustration. Saw this and noted it despite having no current need for it - very beautiful, not cheap, and you’d have to look elsewhere for your size (unless the fabric is very generous). But just in case it’s miraculously exactly what you want:
