Dress Listed as Ivory---but It's not Ivory

Hey there everyone! My wedding gown is on it's way to me and should be here in a matter of days... However, there is a slight problem.

Hey there everyone!

My wedding gown is on it's way to me and should be here in a matter of days... However, there is a slight problem. The dress that I ordered is listed as "ivory", and the sample I tried on twice at the bridal salon was also "ivory". I remember thinking at the time that I expected the dress to be more yellow.I went ahead and ordered a gorgeous custom made veil from a seller on Etsy, and it arrived very quickly. It was gorgeous! But the first thing I noticed is that it is definitely yellower than my "ivory" gown. I contact the seller and she is amazing... she said she will exchange the veil for a lighter color... She said she's run into this issue before, and is positive my dress is actually "diamond white"... A shade of white between pure white and ivory.It's a Stella York dress... They are a Essence of Australia line (long with Martina Liana and Sorella Vita)... Has anyone had a similar situation from any of these dress makers?For the record, I'm not complaining! I love my dress and would exchange it ever! Just wondering if I'm not the only one who has run into this similar issue! I know some designers have different "fabric color ideas" for white, ivory, blush, champagne, etc etc...

Here is a picture of my dress at the bridal shop, before it was shipped out to me. You can tell its not "WHITE" but it's not super yellow either. Also attached pics of me in the ivory sample gown!

    I’ve noticed a lot of Etsy sellers selling ivory veils that definitely have a yellowish tinge to them. It’s pretty misleading and makes it hard to choose the right veil color!

    I had an ivory Stella York dress and an essense of Australia ivory topper and they photograph white but true stark white would be so unflattering in real life for most people. True “ivory” isn’t what they typically do for bridal ivory and I’m surprised a veil maker would go so yellow.

    Here is a picture of my veil next to my white stockings. The dress still hasn't arrived so I can't compare the two yet... but this shows how it does seem to have a more yellow overtone. But I'm also wondering even by this comparison if I am overthinking it? Also attaching pic of dress from the bridal salon.

    Can you wait to return the veil until you receive your dress or can you take your veil to the store to compare next to the sample gown? To me this photo looks like your veil color would match your dress.

    I've contacted the seller already and asked if I can wait until my dress comes in the mail to return it, because I want to make sure for certain that it doesn't match. She's 100% okay with that, and honestly I'm floored by the excellent customer service!
    And yeah, the more I look at it the more I think it will be just fine.... But I'm still going to wait until I have the dress here so I can compare it side by side!

    Okay!!! I have an update!!

    I received my dress and hung it up next to my dress... perfect match. I think a combination of bad lighting/bride brain was at work here! Thanks for everyone who participated ♡

    Ps. Even more in love with my dress ♡

    It’s white! Bridal ivory is white to the naked eye. True white looks good on almost no one. True white looks almost blue-ish because it’s so bright.
