I keep thinking about this dress and how much I loved it! However, I didn't like the color of the bodice. I wouldn't mind if the color comes from the beading and crystals but the clothing of it was a color that made it look dirty. This was a dress I had seen online on a lot of brides and the color looked fine in the photos. As soon as I walked in the store and saw the dress ready for me to try on, the color was the first thing I noticed and asked why was it so dark and if it came in ivory, which I was told yes! I tried on the dress and was ready to buy it, in ivory, when the consultant told me she made a mistake and it doesn't come in ivory. It broke my heart because I really wanted the dress! Now I'm thinking about going back and see if the color is really THAT bad. Ladies, if you bought this dress or have tried it on, what are your thoughts about it? Do you think the color of the bodice is too dark and dirty looking? Am I overthinking this dress situation?

This is my dress!!! I didn't think unwound have gone with this style/dress at all. I went in thinking I wanted tight/ fit-n-flare type of dress. After trying on what felt like a million. The consulates asked if I would try this, I told her I didn't like it..to much tulle.. But sure. FELL IN LOVE. I wasn't given a choice of color. Well I didn't ask I guess. I said I wanted it exactly how it was. The bottom has some type of metallic/satin underlay. And the color of my dress they said is pearl. I think it's perfect. Makes my waist feel super tiny. They said not to many people had gotten this dress and when I search online I see pictures of it but not real life bride in it. It's just the model pics. So that made me more exited that I have a dress that maybe people haven't seen before. I'm on my mobile app. So I'll post a few pics of me in it the day I purchased. (I also got the headpiece and veil in the picture)
Eta- also. I didn't get this dress my first day of shopping. But when I went back two weeks later to a different place. All I could think about was this one!

@SydsMom you look amazing in that dress!!! @OP if I'm not mistaken, I remember you posting a photo of this dress and wondering if it was too gray. I really don't think so. It's a beautiful dress. My dress is ivory lace over champagne organza, and I never in a million years thought I'd get a dress with that much color in it. But I love it. Go try it on again and see how you feel.

@Sydsmom You look absolutely BEAUTIFUL in that dress!!!! =] I tried mine on in pearl as well but the color of the bodice really bothered me that day. This is definitely one of my top 3 dresses so far!
@MzRosaLu I hear what you are saying! I have tried on champagne and blush dresses and thought they were stunning but I think I am more on the traditional side when it comes to the color and I would like ivory. I will try the JA 8724 again along with the other dresses to help me make the decision! Thanks ladies!
