......Definately am having purple though and OH is wearing black and a purple brocade waistcoat so it all may end up a bit gothy even with me in white.

I do love the idea of a flash of purple under the dress so theres something a bit cheeky when I pick up my skirts to go up stairs,dance etc.;)

I think that sounds fab......long velvet hooded cloak (think Scottish Widows advert!), purple petticoat & flowers......

Hi shelovestobuystuff,
Im not sure if you have found this dress in purple yet or have now decided on another but i was just browsing the bridesmaid dresses online and come across this dress in purple. http://www.truebride.co.uk/dressCatalogue.php?dressType=2,3&start=0
I hope the link works as i havent posted links before. I have to say it looks very like the Alfred Angelo one you liked.

Just realised the link didnt go direct to the exact dress. Its the one in the bottom right hand corner.

Not quite.The dress bubbles found above is really good and I also found a watters & watters bridesmaid dress which is just like the aa one in shape and comes in various colours of silk including purples.

Also got a gorgeous plum silk sample fabric from a dressmaker in england ans she does a style I love,not like the aa though but gorgeous too.

I just have to lose more weight and try on those 2 if possible.

I go through phases of liking simpler dresses then sometimes I want a big dress,at leastall the different ones I see that I like are becoming more and more similar,hopefully that means I am getting really close to a final decision now.All my favs will merge into one perfect dress somewhere along the line and that will be it decided.
