Need help with the colour plum

HappyGoldConfetti447, 21 August, 2016 at 19:06 Posted on Planning 0 9

Hi everyone ? I've chosen the colour plum for our wedding and struggling to find bridesmaid dresses that are plum! And if I find some they are from China and not sure if I should trust them from coming there? Anyone got any advice or know where I can look? I have tried A lot of places already

many thanks Becky

    When I was looking for navy dresses I think I saw one or two plum dresses in Coast. My friend used an online retailer for bridesmaid dresses and they had a big choice of colours and they looked really nice. Only problem is I can't remember the name of it but if I can find out I will let you know.

    Not sure where in the country you're based, but there's a shop card YS Dress in stockpot that stocks and imports Chinese dresses xx

    I can vouch for 'The Dress Bay'- they are in Facebook and have a web page. The lady is very helpful and they have a huge range of colours in their 'wrap dress' range- she will also send you swatches of some of the colours for their other dresses if you ask! Good luck!

    I'm having the same problem!!! I've bought a dress off ebay to have a look at the colour (the colour name is actually 'violet red' but it looks quite like a plum colour). I will let you know what its like when it comes ?

    Someone recommended a group on Facebook to me called 'China Dressess and China Wedding supplies - purely reviews', and it's been so helpful with recommending decent sellers. Also, if it helps a friend of mine bought her bridesmaid dresses from a seller on ebay called 'crystal_dresses' and they looked great.

    Let us know if you find anything on the highstreet!

    I've had two dresses (one formal dress, one bridesmaid dress) from Courtesan Boutique, the shop is in the UK, but I think the dresses may come from china (maybe?). You can order online and they make it to your measurements, and they both fit me like a glove.

    They have loads of colour choices and you can order fabric swatches.

    Depending on when you're getting married it may be worth having another look at the high street around Xmas - I find plum is more of a wintery colour so can imagine more shops stocking plum dresses around that time of year

    We have just been round the bridal shops and have found the closest to what I call plum is often called eggplant (beware aubergine is often a different colour)

    so far we have

    Belsoir dresses - Bordeaux

    Dessy Dresses - Aubergine

    Ebony Rose - Eggplant

    Alfred Angelo - Grape

    True Bridal - Eggplant

    Kenneth Wilson Eggplant.

    we have now decided on a Ebony Rose dress after trying one a bunch yesterday and today.

    My friend used simplebridesmaiddresses.co.uk for her bridesmaid dresses and they looked lovely. They had various colours in lots of styles.
