Pretty Purple Plum
Purples and plums seem to be the “it” color right now. Pick up this Notte by Marchesa dress at Net-a-Porter.com.
The ruffles on the bodice remind me a little of old 1940s movies, and in fact, many dresses this season were inspired by this era.

Now this dress is sensational! Beautiful color, beautiful ruffles… definitely reminiscent of the 1940’s which is one of my favorite eras clothing-wise. The only problem I have with it is that it only goes up to a US size 10, and they are sold out. That’s a problem with a lot of designer clothing - they only go up to a certain size. The average size for a woman in the US is about a 12 to 14 (models excluded of course). I’d like to see the designers make dresses for a more normal average size. But still beautiful!

Hi, JennD. I totally agree! Love this dress, and too bad it’s not available in more sizes.
