Unfortunately none of the nearby DB's have T9612 for me to even view in person. I asked what the difference was between the ivory and white in that style. One sales associate pointed to a buttery colored ivory dress as the ivory for T9612. Another sales associate showed me a white but softer, pearlescent dress as ivory. I'm of Filipino descent so I'd like to avoid a buttery ivory which would wash me out. At the same time, I've seen some white dresses as blinding white. For those that have the T9612, how would you describe the shade of ivory?
