Bridesmaid Dress HELP PLEASE

I know a lot of you girls have been looking for bridesmaid dresses. I'm having a really hard time finding the purple I want! It's hard for me to tell from the swatches. Below is the exact purple I'm looking for.

Have any of you girls found this purple in the store? Or have any of you worn this color in the past as a bridesmaid? Any input on what brands have this purple would be great.

I.would think that's like a lilac....it looks like a dress I write for my aunt and uncle's wedding. But I was 18...that was apart 14 years ago. I only remember the color being lilac. Sorry hope that helps.

This is exactly what I want! I love that color! When I was shopping I felt like alot of the designers have light purples that are more dull, this is a brighter light purple

They should have these light spring/summer colors out soon. When I went a month ago everything in the store was black, navy, gray, plum.. More for fall/winter so hopefully in the next month.. I agree that I def couldn't buy a dress without seeing the actual color in person on a dress, not a swatch lol

I work with alot of bridemaids/Bridal designers and I am pretty sure this is a Dessy dress.

I believe this may be the dress similar to the dress you want in either Suede Rose or Tahiti. http://www.dessy.com/dresses/bridesmaid/2896/#.VC6NGfldX4Z

Suede Rose is such a pretty color! And very close to what you're looking for I think!

On the Dessy website suede rose looks so light. Is it darker in person?

i wanted that color initially, but then we went with plum from the bill levkoff collection because the girls all hated the lilac on their skin tones- it kinda washed them out, and the plum color looked a lot better on them so they chose that. Our guys wore gray, so it ended up being a really nice combo... If you go to Burton's Bridal in Melville, they have a TON of purple chiffon dresses to try on, and then you can see the fabric in person!

I actually wore pretty much that exact shade last year in my cousin's wedding. We got our bridesmaid dresses from Bridal Suite of Centereach. I'm really not sure what designer the dress was but here is a picture of the dress/color from wedding pictures:

Yes but best bet is to order swatches from them or go to a store that has the fabric swatches. alot of photos are photo shopped and the colors can depend on the lighting.

I asked her and she doesn't actually remember. She said she was set on the color so they showed her swatches that she went with that shade

Ahhhh I wish I knew! I'm so desperate lol the closest to that I saw so far were Allure & Belsoie brands but idk if its the exact color. You don't happen to still have the dress do you? I know when I was shopping most of the dresses had the brand on the inside. Sorry for being a pain! I just really want this color lol

Agreed. It looks kind of pink online, but in person, when its a full dress of the fabric, its a really pretty, fairly lilac color.
