Hi girls,
I recently ordered my dress at White Dress By the Shore and I absolutley LOVE it. I originally thought that I wanted a white white dress, but I am fair skinned with really blonde hair and the off-white just looked much better on me. The sample that I tried on in the store was the off-white and I dont think anyone will be able to tell that it's off-white. I dont know why I am obsessing about this, I just dont want people to tell that its not a white dress. I mean, it looks white unless you have something really white next to it. What color did you ladies decide on?
Re: White vs Off-white or Ivory dress
There are SO many variations of white in terms of wedding dresses nowadays, so I wouldn't worry one bit about it. I would stick to whatever shade works best with your skin tone, which it sounds like you did.

I'm wearing ivory lace over a gold satin underlay. I didn't try on much that was white-white because it was just too stark for my tastes. I don't think anyone will think twice about your dress not being white - i mean, if it was fuscia or blue or something, that's different. Enjoy your dress and don't obsess.


PS, pics? Here's mine!

Ditto this.

I think that as long as you feel beautiful in the color you choose, you can't go wrong with either!

You should be fine with ivory!! No one is gonna know.

As other girls said, don't stress about it! It'll look great whatever shade of white it may be called.
I honestly think ivory dresses look more elegant than stark white ones in pictures - it's more flattering towards paler complexions. So there's that!
