Hey everyone!
I’ve finally gone dress shopping and I fell in love with a dress. When I walked in I told them my budget was 2.3k max. After trying 5-6 dresses, I was ready to leave when they showed me a gorgeous gown. Unfortunately it was 1.2k over budget (I hate when they do that 😭) and was sleeveless.
Anywho I’ve been contacting a few online shops to create the dress of my dreams inspired by the one that broke my heart. I’m in love with illusion neckline long sleeve dresses. Of all the dresses I was able to try on in store they did not have one like this in store, but I did try on a dress with a bit of lace. I personally do not like the ashy, kind of gray look that lace has on dark skin. I have seen a few black brides get it right where the lace does look amazing on them. I spoke to a designer who suggested using colored tulle as he only has ‘ivory” lace. I have never heard of this and he’s not local for me to try it against my skin. Anyone have any advice?

I do not like the line of demarcation at the neckline and I think the lace does not blend well.
