 |
|
| the dress i have chosen is ivory although to me it just looks white. If I buy shoes do they have to be ivory or do u think i can get away with white. I am not so sure they look that different but then maybe if you put them together they will. Anyone have any suggestions? |

If your dress is ivory you need to get ivory shoes - white is very bright and will not look right against an ivory dress. Your dress will only look white until you put it beside a white dress.

| Ivory is always a bit of a minefield! People see colours differently - some view ivory as off white (like me!) some see it as cream, some people just don't like admitting their having white for some reason!! Just to confuse things even more, there is champagne and beige as well! Your dress supplier may be able to provide you with a swatch which you can hold against your shoes to check the colour. You may need to do this in daylight rather than in the shop as spotlights do cast a yellow tinge on colours. Hope this helps. Brenda |

| There are different shades of ivory, as if you didn't know already, my dress is very pale ivory, whick looks white to me, but the best idea that has already been posted is to take a swatch of the material with you and compare. |

Watch out for the likes of diamond white as well- thats another ivory for certain designers although you'd think it was as zingy white as toothpaste or wash powder from the name! 
Id definately go with the swatch idea if you can get one- its a minefield!
(that said your shoes could be bright pink if the dress is long enough to hide them! ) |

I do recall as a bridesmaid about 10 years ago ivory really was ivory (like a white dress left in the attic for 10 years). Now it just seems not so white as white!! so i can see where you are coming from with this question.
Still be careful, if your dress is (new age) ivory and your shoes are white, it will notice! |
