indigo dresses

Can girls please post pictures of their indigo dresses.

I promised myself I wouldn't obsess but obviously I am.

For those for didn't see my previous post- my BM picked out b. Levkoff dressesbut the only shade close to blue they come in is Indigo and I think it's too dark. The swatch is so tiny but it seems dark to me.

Can girls that had indigo dresses please post their pictures- I need to see if they will be to dark.

I appreciate your help an input.

Re: indigo dresses

is the dress shiny (satin) material or opaque (like organza or chiffon)? sometimes if it's shiny it looks lighter in person and in pics than the non-shiny stuff. i totally understand why you're obsessing and also why you feel kinda bad about it - I hope everything works out!

Re: indigo dresses

The dress is irrerdessant (sp?) That's why it's hard b/c the color changed every time I moved the swatch against the light. It ranged from dark navy to royal blue.
I prefer the royal blue. I wish there was some way I could ask to go easy on the dye so the dresses aren't that dark.

Re: indigo dresses

I looked at a bunch of dresses that were the tissue tafetta in person. The fabric really reacts to light. For example, if you are outside on a sunny day the dress will 'glow' and look a lot lighter as opposed to a darker setting where the dress will look darker. The indigo is beautiful and will look amazing in a light/dark setting.
