Marmar Halim Purple Dresses: Lilac Plisse, Violet Taffeta and Purple Silk Gowns

Marmar Halim purple dresses split into two moods: soft lilac for spring weddings, and deep purple taffeta and silk for winter black tie. Coveti carries 19 purple and lilac Marmar Halim pieces, from $2,090 to $14,431, and 5 of them are lilac. Most are floor-length gowns; one is a purple jacquard jacket that works over a column. This guide sorts them by cloth, then lists every piece by price.

Lilac

The lilac pieces are the lighter half. The One-Shoulder Pleated Silk Dress in Lilac is a plisse column held by a single strap, and the High-Neck Draped Satin Dress covers the arms and neck in lilac satin, which makes it one of the few modest purple gowns in the house. The two Marisol pieces, the Strappy Pleated Taffeta Gown With Embroidery and its cape-styled sibling, add hand embroidery to lilac taffeta. Lilac suits a daytime wedding, a garden party and a spring civil ceremony.

Deep purple taffeta and jacquard

For evening, taffeta gives purple its depth. The Off-Shoulder Fish-Cut Taffeta Dress and the Strapless Draped Taffeta Dress With Wire Outline are both sculptural, with wire holding the drape in place, and the Strapless Fish-Cut Jacquard Dress puts the same fishtail into a patterned jacquard. These are the purple pieces for a winter gala.

Purple silk with capes

The house’s signature cape appears on several purple gowns. The Ruched Strapless Silk Gown With Cape and the Strapless Pleated Silk Georgette Dress With Cape both drop a cape from the shoulders, and the One-Shoulder Crepe Dress With Cape sits at the lower end of the edit. At the top, the Alina strapless pleated chiffon gown is two-tone hand-pleated chiffon with a pleated cape.

How to wear purple

Purple is easier than it looks. Silver and diamonds suit lilac; gold and warm metallics suit deep purple and violet. Keep shoes neutral, nude for lilac and black for deep purple, and let the colour carry the look. For more houses, see our purple evening gowns edit.
