I swear I read something somewhere that gave advice on what gown colors go best with certain skin tones. Now I can't find it. I should have taken notes!
My skin tone is like Jennifer Lopez maybe lighter, but I hope to get a tan before the wedding... what gown color looks best... ivory, cream, white, etc? I want something that will really bring out my tan skin. My fiance says a white gown will work best. I agree and it's also easier to find a veil for a white dress too. But I'm concerned about getting TOO white a gown.
BTW I have dark hair and eyes too. It's not like I'm a blond with a crazy dark tan....
I don't know if I have cool or warm undertones... I barely wear makeup, and every time I have one of those makeup consultant thingies.. they tell me something different. I look good in turquiose if that helps :o)
Answer
The stark white gowns really only look good on people with darker complexions. They can either be too stark, or wash you out. You sound like you have a good skin tone. Most dresses today come in an off white--each designer calls it something different--it's white, but a much softer white with warmer tones to it. Ivory or cream would also look good on you, and depending on your skin (do you have warm or cool undertones) those light coffee colors might look great on you. I'm a professional dressmaker, and I made a very light pink dress with an off white chiffon overlay (which made the pink even fainter) for a Latino girl--she was stunning!
The only way to really tell which color will look best on you is to try them on. Take a digital camera with you, and have a friend take photos of yourself in each dress you try on.
Good luck!

I am wearing a tube top dress to a wedding... should I wear my hair up or down... and should i match my eyeshadow to my dress?
Answer
What color is the dress? What is the theme of the wedding? Are you going to wear a shawl? How would the color of the dress translate into eye shadow? Is the wedding more formal or more casual? What is your skin tone?
