Just said yes to the dress, a beautiful Stella York a-line lace gown.
The sample I tried on in the store was ivory lace over moscato organza (see photo), which made the dress look vaguely pink-toned, but the contrast between the lace and the under layers really made the details of the dress "pop".
I also had my color scheme in mind: Silver jewelry, plum bridesmaid dresses, navy, dark blueish red, white, sage green, dusty light blue. All cool colors. I think pure white would look really beautiful with them, and I'm worried the moscato dress will clash.
But now I'm worried that the thing I love most about the dress -- the beautiful lace detail -- will get lost in the white over white. Will the dress look too stark in white? Do I switch to moscato even though it may not look as good against my skin tone?
Has anyone bought a Stella York lace dress in white (not ivory) that can share photos of what the lace looks like? Is the detail of the lace still visible, or does it get completely lost? Also, I'm worried that white will make my teeth look yellow -- not that they are, but, y'know, in comparison.
Can anyone who bought a moscato dress tell me whether they thought the photos looked dingy or "dirty" next to a groom's white shirt, silver accents, and cool colors? Did it show up as pink in all the photos? I'm not too worried about tradition, but I am concerned that this moscato color is not one I'd ever wear in my wardrobe, and that it may not complement my skin tone.
I've got a few days to change my mind on the color before they actually place the order. Help!
