I need a long sleeved woollen purple bodycon dress

Like the one I am in mourning for because I wore it to death and had to chuck it out 😭

specifics:

  • wool or similar fabric (even if partly synthetic, as long as it feels woolly/cosy, it’s fine)
  • bright Cadbury type purple (maybe a bit darker but not much)
  • UK size 10-12
  • long sleeved (it’s still Baltically cold)
  • knee/midi length rather than mini or maxi
  • more figure hugging rather than it looking like I am wearing a tent
  • I am more on the pear-shaped side FWIW
  • No silly necklines or frills or fancy sleeves or anything
  • up to £100

will be interested to see if anyone can find anything good online. I have just spent at least an hour scouring Vinted to no avail.
Thanks in advance if you are willing to help me look!

Combination of knitted and Cadbury purple is hard to find. JL have a few knitted dresses described as purple but are more cherry/plum. The Boden corduroy is the right colour and would be warm but not knit

That Phase Eight one is nice though and probably closest to what I am looking for of the 3. That Whistles one is nice but not the ‘right’ colour.

Kettlewell has this in 100% lambswool - but the Phase Eight dress looks more like the shape you wanted.

Ah god, the Hobbs one they've got hardly any sizes! Might be one that would work though. Sorry @Angelil .

Do you know where when the original came from? If you have a brand someone might be able to track one down.

Possibly Quiz or Roman Originals (so not fancy) but not too sure. Will see if I have a photo of it anywhere.
