Here are some cute dresses that I found browsing through Nordie's website.
This first one is by Calvin Klein, and although the color is called "Eggplant," it appears to be a little on the purple side.
This one is by Donna Rico--another basic and flattering shape but again kind of purpley, called "African Violet":
This is one of my favorites--it's by Nicole Miller and I think the sheath silhouette would be a nice echo of the shape of my dress. And I love the color, and I think the ruching at the waist would help make it a very flattering dress.
This one is also by Nicole Miller, and even though it's not the color I had in mind, I do like it and it looks so fun. It's chiffon, so I think the fabric would match well with my dress (as opposed to something stiffer, like shantung silk), but strapless can be tricky... and I am not sure if the shape is quite right. But it's cute!
This one I love, at least in the picture--I think the ombre effect is really awesome and the "Punch" color(s) are so pretty. There is not really much about this dress that "matches" mine, but it's so cute and I love it! One problem is that it's jersey knit, though... kind of casual.
These are just some of my favorites from a quick browse of Nordstrom... what do you think? Have you seen any dresses that we should take a look at?

I actually really like the shape of the second one - probably because I'm scared of itsy bitsy straps, and having a "waistband" type detail can help give girls shape. That said, you really never know until you see a dress on a non-model! (plus, is it me, or does even the skinny model have a 'tummy' going on in that dress? If that's the case, then either the cut or the fabric is doing something it shouldn't) The color of the third dress is very pretty - the tone is much closer to an eggplant than a lavender, like the first two. I like the cut of that one, too - very sexy almost! The coloring on the last dress is amazing. It's basically shapeless (and I guess kind of casual) so it probably wouldn't look that great on, but the idea of faded coloring is super cool. I want to go try things on to get better ideas, now!! Can't wait to see what you come up with...
