    Okay...So I don't think there has been a thread about this, but I figured it is about time to start one!  If any of you have read any of my other posts, you know that I have been obsessing about my "Silver Mist" wedding gown and trying to dig out information on what people know about it.  It is so hard to tell from the website and wedding shops what color to order!  Many times, I feel that if you see a dress on the rack in a color that you NEVER want to wear, you might just pass it by.  That could be THE dress and you may not have known that it comes in several other colors.  I know that the 2010 collection of Maggie Sottero dresses are now on the website and I noticed that they added even MORE colors!!!!  What I'm hoping this thread will do is:

    Let the bees share experience about their Maggie's (ordered or worn) color.  What do you know about the color??  I am glad to see that Maggie added the (shown) option next to the dress on the website so you know what color you are looking at but it can be very overwhelming otherwise.  So far, I know of these colors offered by Maggie Sottero:

    -White

    -Diamond White

    -Ballet White

    -Ivory

    -Light Gold

    -Pearl

    -Oyster

    -Silver Mist

    -Silver Haze

    -Gold

    -Champaigne

    -Champaigne Mist

     

    If you've seen, tried on, or wore a dress in an ADDITIONAL color, add it to the list!  Any Maggie wearers...what can you tell us about each color?  

    For instance:  I am wearing Vivien in Silver Mist.  It shows up in fluoresent lights as a medium/light gray.  Under good lighting, it looks like a pewtery/champaigne and picks up detail in pictures.

    I ordered Sottero & Midgely RSM 1038

    I tried on my dress in diamond white and ivory on two different occasions an honestly they both looked white!

    I decided to go with the diamond white and I compared the tafetta of a diamond white with a white and the diamond white was just a bit softer in colour and less blinding/blueish. I chose against the ivory because the bottom of my dress is tule and the ivory tulle didn't look as nice as the white tulle IMO. But at the same time when I first put it on I had no idea that it was ivory - her ivory is very white!!!!!

    To add to the ridiculousness of Maggie colours the model pic is gold but once again looks quite white LOL

    This is the model with the dress in gold

    Me in my dress in diamond white - with the darkness of the photo it is hard to judge the colour!

    I am wearing the Milana in light gold, but to me, it looks ivory. Ignore my wonky hand, oh, and the sleeves were on backwards, lol, oops!

    I actually found another color on the MS website.  Oceana....apparently it's a goldish/blue.

    Wow, that silver mist color is gorgeous and

    @Future Mrs. Martin:  I love your dress, makes me want to give up mine own!

    The first pic is me trying on a gold dress.  It looked more ivory in the store but when I got home and looked at the pics, it was way too gold for my taste.  The way it photographed took it our of the running.

    I ordered mine in light gold, it is definitely a darker white with warm undertones, more antique-y looking.  See second pic.

    @carbongirl- That is exactly what I'm talking about!  I think it is so important for girls to take pictures and take them home and look at them because the colors photograph SO differently.  That first dress is beautiful, but definitely more gold than ivory.  The dress you chose is LOVELY!

    I ordered my Maggie in Light Gold. The Light Gold is more of an Ivory than Gold and I freaked out beaus eI could not find a sample of any Maggie dress in light gold.  I finally found a different Maggie in the Light Gold and tried it on... it is definitel ivory!
