Dress color regret

I purchased my Stella York dress last June and tried it on in with a moscato underlay but ordered ivory/ivory. The last bit of my appointment was rushed by the consultant and I chose the color quickly without thinking too much about it. The sales associate held up a small square of ivory fabric to show me what it would look like and didn’t tell me that the lace would almost completely disappear with the ivory underlay. I called a couple weeks after I ordered and tried to change it to moscato but was firmly told that the order had been placed and there’s nothing I can do. I haven’t been able to get my mind off all this and am picking my dress up in 1.5 weeks and scared I’m not going to like the dress in ivory/ivory. I never got to try it on in ivory since the sample was moscato. I’m just venting and wondering if anyone else has been in my position? I am going to be devastated if I see the ivory/ivory version and am not crazy about it.

    I think the pale ivory will be beautiful after seeing your dress!

    Oh you will definitely be able to see the lace. I also agree ivory/ivory does sometimes feel more bridal, I think this is just the case!!!

    The ivory is 10x prettier than the moscato! I can’t believe I struggled so much with this. It just took me seeing the ivory dress for the first time! Ivory is a lot cleaner and bridal looking

    Yay!
    I had a similar freak out about my dress color. I forgot how dark it was (its chatcoal) and I kept freaking out about how light it was til it came in. Ince I saw it again, all my concerns vanished.
    I'm so glad it worked out for you!

    Oh, girl - I’m sure it was just the stress of wedding planning & all the decisions that made you start 2nd guessing it. I’m just so happy for you that it all turned out okay.

    Thank you everyone! I got the color right but unfortunately it’s really big on me so it’ll need major alterations. I just need to trust the process. Sigh.

    Hi! I’m interested in seeing a picture of your ivory on ivory gown versus the sample ivory/moscato—I’m facing a similar decision from the same designer and having trouble deciding! Would you mind sharing? So glad you liked the ivory on ivory after all!
