Purple Evening Dresses

Purple comes in many different shades from the palest of Lavenders and Lilacs to the deep Purples and Violets and the Grapes and Wines.

The color purple used to signify royalty, so if you're dressing up for a special event why not choose a regal color to wear? Many celebrities have chosen to wear purple when they grace the red carpet, personally I believe it's a very flattering color.

You could choose purple jewelry, purple shoes, purple bags or even purple scarves, but here I have concentrated on purple evening dresses.

My Favorite Purple Evening Gown

Purple and Lilac Evening Gown

Satin Chiffon Prom Dress Holiday Formal Gown Crystals Full Length



My favorite purple evening gown is the deep purple one on the left, the design is simple and looks beautiful. It's a design which is pretty timeless and quite flattering. The full length gown is made of satin and the only drawback is that the skirt is unlined (if they lined it it would definately make you feel even more like a princess!). It has a ciffon overlay and also comes with a matching chiffon shawl. The trim, which you can see up close if you click the link that takes you to Amazon, is made from crystals.

I think the design of this dress is absolutely stunning, it's also available in different colors including the lilac that is also pictured above. This is a simple and elegant gown that just says class and sophistication.

This gown is absolutely beautiful, the crystal design helps to make it a very flattering dress. The combination of the flared skirt with the crystal detailing really pulls the dress from a pretty design to drop down gorgeous gown.

It is available in different colors, but personally I think purple really makes the design shine!

Combine this dress with some crystal drop ear rings and you have the perfect formal outfit.

Charlize Theron in Lavender 

Lavender Evening Gowns

This two piece ensemble is part of the Sean Collection and was designed with the Mother of the Bride in mind. It is a satin backed crepe tank dress that has a flattering slight A-line skirt and a back slip. The jacket is made of tulle and has hand beading and embroidery in a floral motif.


This flattering one shoulder lavender evening dress is made in satin and silk will sparkle into the evening with the gorgeous bling on both the shoulder and the bodice.

The dress even has a small train making you feel like you're stepping onto a red carpet when you wear it out.

Eggplant Evening Gown

This dress is from the Sean Collection and is designed with the mother of the bride and groom in mind, having said that this is definitely not a fade into the background type of dress, instead it is bright, elegant and says look at me I look awesome!

Eva Longoria in Purple 

Shorter Evening Dresses in Shades of Purple

Short Purple Party DressSometimes a shorter dress is needed for the evening especially for the Prom or a cocktail party.

This strapless Prom Party Dress is by the Sean Collection and is a classic design. It is a below the knees dress which means that it can also be worn well by slightly older people attended a cocktail party as well.

Here's another shorter (yet not quite mini) dress that would look great in the evening -

Eggplant Bubble Dress
This Eggplant Satin Bubble Mini Dress is a satin cocktail dress with crystal trim.

The pull ups give an illusion of a tiered effect in the skirt which is quite a retro twist giving the dress a cross between the bubble skirts and the ra ra skirts of the 80s.

This dress would also look great worn with a small silver or diamante pendant.

There are some more great short evening dresses available including these next few -



Violet Evening Dresses

Violet Evening Dress

Another evening gown from the Sean Collection, this time in a beautiful shade of violet. It is a fantastic stretch charmeuse gown with a jewel broach at the bodice and is absolutely stunning.
