dress color code image
Kathryn
I've been hearing about a wedding dress color code... such as for if youre a virgin or not. What is this code? I know it isn't used anymore, I'm just wondering.
Answer
Ugh. Sorry - this is one of my biggest pet peeves.
White was never used in Western Weddings (Europe & America) to symbolize purity.
White, in fact, was never worn for a wedding dress until Queen Victoria wore a white dress to her wedding. It was hugely scandalous, because it was viewed as incredibly wasteful because the dress would undoubtably have been ruined in its first use. (Cities were absolutely filthy in the 1800s, between coal soot everywhere, plus horse manure and chamber pot contents littering the street.) After the Queen wore white, it became the fashion among the aristocracy (noble class) to wear white as a symbol of great wealth.
Aristocratic debutants wore pastel colors for their Seasons, when they were introduced to eligible males. Their dresses had to be adaptable, so they never appeared to wear the same dress twice (which would have called into question the finances of the girl's family). For their wedding, the girls would be married in richer colors, again proving that the family had money - because they could afford a brand new dress.
Peasants and farmers were married in their Sunday best, which was never white, because they couldn't afford to be wasteful like that.

What is the hexadecimal color code for the dress Taylor Swift wore on the deck in the 'Our Song' music video?

The dress she wore is blue, however does anyone know the hexadecimal color code for it? If you can figure it out, that'd be a huge help!!

set lights change it so it's rather difficult.
just pick whichever dress you like best next to a hex code site and get the closet match to it.
