Dress Stress - ivory vs nude

Kristin, on December 1, 2017 at 7:02 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

After waiting for 6 months my dress is finally here (yay)! Now for the issue... The sample dress was a nude underlay with ivory over it. I loved how the illusion looked because the netting was almost a perfect match to my skin and barely visible. The sales person told me that the only thing different if I ordered ivory would be the skirt underlay color (like from the belt down). I ordered ivory because I wanted a more "bridal" look and thought it would be pretty with an ivory skirt. That said I've spent the last 6 months looking at photos of myself in the sample and loving it. Flash forward to today and I was not prepared for how white it would be. The illusion is also in ivory and not as sheer looking. I think I just need time to adjust and grow to love it in the new color, but what do you all think? Will post photos below. They said they could order illusion netting in the nude and redo the top but we thought that it might clash and actually be more noticible. Here is my dress.

    And here is the sample in nude. Maybe it's the lighting too?

    First of all, GORGEOUS dress!

    Honestly, looking at the ones from the back, I think your actual dress looks much better than the photo of the sample. The front photos have different lighting, so I don't feel like there's that much of a difference. I just love the photo of the back of your actual dress Smiley smile

    I like the ivory coloring of your dress better than the sample against your skin.The nude does not match your skin tone.

    Looking at this photo more I'm starting to feel better about it and like the ivory looks better.

    If you loved the nude look why did you order it in ivory? Confused. But honestly it looks gorgeous either way.

    I loved the nude on the top but wanted an ivory skirt. It was a big debate at the time too. Everyone told me I would love the ivory and that it would look more "wedding dress like."

    Is it Rebecca Ingram? It's truly lovely! If you didn't point out the difference, I wouldn't have noticed. Your dress fits beautifully and looks perfect on you.

    It is! It's the Olivia. I think once I look at it more and more that I will like it better than the sample.

    I actually don't like the nude. It looks like a very thin fabric that barely covers you, as opposed to how it's supposed to look -- a dress with the nude underlay.

    I think you made the right choice and I wouldn't change a thing.

    I actually love the nude, but I think they're both gorgeous and whichever you choose will be beautiful!

    I think your actual dress is nicer. I love it.
