What color prom dress for medium tan (asian; filipino) skin tone?

Swerve

Need a few dress color ideas for upcoming prom. Should I go for darker or lighter colors? What would compliment my medium naturally tan skin tone (nc42 in mac if that helps and filipino skin tone)..

Answer
i've always felt that if you wore light/white prom dresses it looked too bride/wedding-like :/

so I advise you to go darker & sexier hahaha

Which color white is most flattering to my skin tone? Asian-American.? Ivory, Diamond white, Champagne,orStark?

Kris

I don't/at least didn't like the idea of wearing white at my wedding.
'Cause I used to always imagine me/that I'm wearing a cream.
But now, after taking a What's You Wedding Dress IQ quiz, I realize that it might not be the most flattering on me.
U-/Argh!
The question i-/was Which color white is most flattering to a majority of skin tones?
Ivory
Diamond white
Champagne
Stark white
And the correct answer is: diamond white.
Diamond White: "Eighty percent of the population looks best in a soft, diamond-white dress, which isn't as chalky as a white-white," explains gown designer Melissa Sweet.
"When in doubt, buy diamond white."
A shade off true white, it's also known as silk or natural white and it usually shows up very white in photos.
Ivory: Also referred to as eggshell or candlelight, this shade has gentle yellow undertones (think creamy not buttery) and works well with fair skin tones or on gals with medium skin tones with pink undertones.
Champagne: Also called "rum," champagne has subtle pink undertones and works well with medium skin tones and yellow undertones.
Stark white: The brightest bridal gown white, this shade can wash out fair complexions, but it looks great on dark skin -- or those with a tan!
I can't tell if I have a fair skin tone or am a gal with medium skin tone with pink undertone! or medium skin tone and yellow undertone! or (even?) a tan!
Please help!...

Answer
Well, I can't say for sure without knowing what you look like, but you did mention being asian american in the question and asians tend to have more yellow or olive skin tones (that's not all-inclusive, but a generalization.) So the champagne would probably suit you. That being said... keep your options open and trust your own sense of style. You'll know when you've found the right dress for you, be it champagne or ivory or diamond white or anything in between. And most bridal shops have dozens of colors for everything in between and will be able to help you find your perfect dress. Best of luck and congratulations! :)
