Lilac and Plum Dresses for Romance and Occasion

A soft lilac or lavender feels gentle and pretty for a daytime garden party, while a deep plum or aubergine reads rich and refined for an evening gala. Both flatter in a fit-and-flare cut that defines the waist and lets the skirt move gracefully, creating beautiful proportion through the figure. Lilac suits a spring wedding or an afternoon in winery country, while plum comes into its own under the lights of a formal dinner. Purple is the romantic's colour, distinctive without ever being loud. For a sweeping evening line, our maxi dresses carry the deeper tones with real presence.

Velvet, Satin and Lace Overlays

Look for floaty chiffon and cotton-blends in the lighter shades for daytime ease. The deeper tones come in satin or velvet, where purple gains a real sense of luxury and a soft evening sheen. Lace overlays, gathered bodices and refined necklines keep each piece feeling considered and romantic. A gathered sleeve or a tie waist adds the soft detail that completes the colour. Purple sits beautifully alongside soft pinks, so our pink dresses may inspire your styling, while our cocktail dresses offer a shorter celebratory shape.
