Preowned Dress - can't find my color

So I went dress shopping a few weeks ago, and I found the perfect dress. It's the Allure Bridals 3115 in Ivory/Antique! However, I'm having a hard time spending over $1,000 on a dress I'll wear once, so I'm looking for a preowned one. I've come across one that's exactly what I need, but it's Ivory/Ivory instead of the antique underlay. I'm wondering if I should just get the ivory one or should I hold out for my perfect dress knowing that one first one might get sold? Any advice is appreciated!

    So it is definitely not ideal but I got mine off of ebay. It was an Allure dress as well that i fell in love with and I had the same mindeset that you had. It was hard for me to pay that much but if you have over a year until your then I would contemplate a little more over it before settling. You dont want to regret your choice

    I agree with PP. Yes you only get to wear the dress once but its also your day! You don't want to look back at photos and wish you gotten the other colored dress. Go with the one you really want. But I would also make sure you don't wait until the last minute. Might be a good idea to set yourself a cut off date to where if you cannot find the specific dress in the color you want already used to buy it outright.

    Thanks everyone! I'll look for a little while longer and then probably just buy a new one if I can't find one.
