Mauve dresses
Mauve is the dusty, greyed purple: softer than lilac and easy to wear from day to evening.
Lavender gowns for prom, bridesmaids and black tie
A lavender gown is soft and romantic for prom, a bridesmaid line-up and a spring evening wedding. See our evening gowns and wedding guest dresses.
How to style a lavender dress
Silver and pearl jewellery suit cool lavender, and gold warms lilac. Nude, silver and white shoes keep it fresh, and sage, butter yellow and grey make soft pairings.
Frequently asked questions
What colour shoes go with a lavender dress?
Nude, silver and white shoes all suit lavender. Metallic sandals work for evening, and a soft grey keeps a lilac dress understated.
Is lavender a good colour for a wedding guest?
Yes. Lavender and lilac suit spring and summer weddings and daytime ceremonies, and they never compete with the bride. Check that the bridesmaids are not in lavender first.
What is the difference between lavender and lilac?
Both are pale purples. Lavender is slightly bluer and greyer, while lilac is pinker and warmer.
