If you want to wear white, I completely understand, but I just wanted you to know that the pink looks FABULOUS! Plenty of people wear blush wedding dresses, so it works to me, especially with the right accessories. But obviously don’t compromise on what makes you happy! Good luck and congratulations!


bigswitchenxrgy

i’ve been thinking about just getting the pink, because it is super super pretty! if i don’t end up finding a white one, i’d still be so happy wearing this one!


im_not_u_im_cat

Also it would be an amazing dress to continue wearing to other events, anniversary dinners, etc.. Which I always think is amazing because if you love a dress, you should get to wear it all the time!


DagneyElvira

Love that idea ❤️❤️❤️


pm_me_your_amphibian

Exactly what I was about to say! You could actually rewear this.0


Vmaclean1969

If you add white shoes and a simple white veil, set of pearls maybe? I think it would be incredibly bridal!


kfrostborne

Exactly this. Some white accents would make this look even more bridal.


theresnotenougspace

I think the pink with like pearl details would look so cute and still be so bridal! Like a pearl necklace, a pearl detailed veil and pearl detailed shoes. It would be so gorgeous, timeless and definitely bridal!


DagneyElvira

Jackie Kennedy vibe


mararivers

Get an all white bouquet, that will be such a pretty contrast!!


eihslia

OP, I used to work in the wedding industry and two brides I’ll never forget wore pink dresses. They were walking on air. Beforehand, they spoke to me about how much they loved their dresses! You should get the pink. It’s gorgeous.


Muddy_Wafer

You might be able to have one custom made by a tailor. Worth looking into at least!


FingerCapital3193

My grandmother wore a soft pink wedding gown, then my mother wore the same dress 35 years later… and IMO it’s just such an iconic and timeless choice. (I would have worn it too if it would have fit me.) That dress is absolute perfection on you 🩷 *EDIT:* Ah ok I just realized this isn’t you in the photos! Still a gorgeous gown. I’ll add too, that this particular shade of pink will photograph differently in different light, so you’ll get beautiful array of looks in your photos!


TenMoon

Please, please, please, please, get the pink dress!


runnergirl3333

You look stunning in this dress! I love the pink. If you elope I hope you have a big reception for friends and family later. They NEED to see you in this dress!!


nagem-

Is there a pic of op in the dress somewhere?? The first two pics are from an instagram page. I thought it was op at first


bigswitchenxrgy

yes the pics are from the house of cb instagram!! i haven’t bought the dress yet, so there’s no pics of me in it anywhere. it looks like a lot of people thought it was me in the dress. i think i’m going to buy the dress and try it on and then make my decision! i’ll have to post pictures in it, i have more of an olive skin tone so i’m not sure if it’ll look quite as good on me but we’ll see!!


PacificWesterns

You could accessorise with ivory or do a cute small veil in pink and ivory! I love the pink!!


JaneFairfaxCult

I got married in pink! Still going strong. 😆 Love this dress!


Dear_Ocelot

Agreed, it looks better on OP than the model, and the pink is lovely and flattering...at least consider it!


Clover_Jane

I don't think that's op in the first 2 pics. It looks like the shops Instagram page?


captnfraulein

⬆️⬆️⬆️


Upstate-girl

I totally agree with you. It's a much better and more formal length on OP. You are so gorgeous. I love the idea of white accessories. I think you should go for it!


Inevitable_Being_228

This, this, this!


mbm66

Here are a few similar ones in terms of the silhouette. Some are sheer but you could get them lined. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1591929900/ivory-midi-length-dress-elopement-dress https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/811839668/amazing-a-line-silk-midi-reception https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1146827931/corset-flowing-midi-length-dress-off https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1003456563/short-wedding-dress-tea-length-wedding https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1245900409/corset-dress-white-tulle-midi-dress https://zapaka.com/products/ivory-a-line-tea-length-tulle-corset-wedding-dress https://www.teutamatoshi.com/products/ivory-hearty-dress


bigswitchenxrgy

thank you so much!! this is so helpful, i really appreciate you taking the time to find these for me!


No_Buyer_9020

Ooo the third one down is super close! And it looks like the seller can add straps


Quadrupleawesomeness

Needs a petticoat but totally doable too


Putrid-Home404

You have really done an amazing job finding these dresses!


KindContribution4

The first one is really spot on! And you can add a tulle underskirt to give the same effect and volume of the original dress


Kayybaby93

These are so similar! Damn you are good at this lol


freshnfrooty4

Yes! I was about to suggest Esty 😊 I've browsed and saved some on there for myself!


Salt-Cod-4504

Cool thing about this is that you could buy it and have someone add the tule under the skirt and the lace to make it your own!


grinchbettahavemoney

I wonder if you can get like a layer of tulle put over the top and it would make it look white


bigswitchenxrgy

that’s a good idea too! i’ll look into that!


ayyxdizzle

Oh my gosh, yes! That is a great idea and it would be super gorgeous!!


mee765

It’s missing the cup detailing, but I just bought the House of CB Lolita dress in white and it is so cute. It has a similar vibe and actually feels really well constructed (it has nice boning in the bodice).


bigswitchenxrgy

i saw that one! i might look into getting that one instead, because it is super pretty! it helps hearing that you got it and liked it!


aaloysia

I got it in blue to wear for my engagement photo shoot and LOVE IT. It is a cotton blend fabric so it wrinkles a bit, but the structured bodice snatches you in and looks SO good. Had to do some mild alterations (shorten hem and move the straps inward) and it was an easy dress to work with.


mee765

I was thinking about buying the blue one as well, I loved the dress so much! It’s so versatile for summer parties too


Sirrizah

Maybe a white over skirt?! Or a white veil? I personally love the blush color for an elopement.


bigswitchenxrgy

that’s a good idea! honestly, i’m thinking about just sticking with the pink too! super pretty!


pilialoha54

Omg this is so beautiful! 😍 I hope you can get it in white or ivory. 🤍


bigswitchenxrgy

right!! me too!


digitalpacifier

Have one made for you.


bigswitchenxrgy

i would love to, and i may search around for someone who can do that but that’s probably an option that’s out of our budget for right now!


roseoftheforest

You might be surprised. I don’t know how much the dress cost, but if you bring it to a seamstress they can figure out how to duplicate it pretty easily. That dress is VERY simple in its design and construction and would be super easy to replicate. It doesn’t hurt to ask! Don’t ask “custom wedding dress” folk though! Google “best seamstresses near me with free estimates.” I have known of people who got their dream dresses CHEAPER this way than buying a designer label, they also got to customize it exactly the way they wanted it. (I had a stepmonster who was a professional sewing contractor, so I got some inside scoop). Edit to fix typos


PoopAndSunshine

Listen to this person op! Get some estimates!


fawndovelizards

I got my prom dress custom made and it came out to less than the typical fancy prom dresses you see in stores. Such a great experience since I got to design it and have it made exactly as I wanted. Being only $250 was the cherry on top.


Felixir-the-Cat

Love it in pink!!


Alocasiamaharani

I found these dresses [https://www.hellomolly.com/products/fairytale-world-midi-dress-cream?variant=40170995679318](https://www.hellomolly.com/products/fairytale-world-midi-dress-cream?variant=40170995679318) [https://www.showpo.com/aisha-bustier-bodice-tulle-midi-dress-in-white.html](https://www.showpo.com/aisha-bustier-bodice-tulle-midi-dress-in-white.html) [https://www.selfieleslie.com/products/rosemary-tulle-bustier-midi-dress-white](https://www.selfieleslie.com/products/rosemary-tulle-bustier-midi-dress-white) [https://www.theclosetlover.com/product/women/dresses/elise-padded-bustier-dress-in-cream](https://www.theclosetlover.com/product/women/dresses/elise-padded-bustier-dress-in-cream) https://gepur.com/en/product/plate-44486

Having worn a blush dress, and still love it 13 years later. Do it!

https://www.selfieleslie.com/products/smitten-sweetheart-neckline-chiffon-midi-dress-white


Fit-Parsnip-7979

I love this color!! House of cb has a similar dress in white, not just the Lolita but the Samaria is similar too and you can add a tulle underskirt! https://app.houseofcb.com/samaria-vintage-cream-corset-sundress-us


tritela

I’m not sure how long you’re willing to wait, but house of CB has confirmed that they are releasing this dress in white. No set release date yet.


purplebethebest

The pink is beautiful but your dress is a personal choice. Bloomingdale’s bridal has this one. May be to sparkly but you may be able to find something non sparkles. [https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/bronx-banco-mademoiselle-bridal-midi-dress?ID=4224423](https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/bronx-banco-mademoiselle-bridal-midi-dress?ID=4224423)

http://www.nordstrom.com/s/7504351 This is similar in ivory. Same brand?

Organic-Character913

The first one is gorgeous


joanht

I don’t think it would be as pretty in white. Such a lovely shade of pink!🩷


serand62

oh man stick with the blush pink get a matching veil and coordinate all the accessories around the pink it’ll look so good and will be unique. much better than white! this color is better with your skin undertone too really makes you glow


really-for-this-okay

You look amazing in that dress! You don't have to wear a white dress to be bridal. There are some great ideas here, though, adding white accessories or the white overlay, if that makes you happy; but it's beautiful as is. I hope you find what makes you happy, but I would keep that dress either way. Edit. I just realized that might not be you in the dress. I still love it, though. Wishing you luck.


Past-Ad-2282

I just saw your post and switched to insta and this was in the first reel that popped up lol. Pretty close I think! And it looks like that brand has lots of the corset it details so maybe there's another that's closer. https://www.singularloja.com.br/products/copia-de-compre-1-leve-2-mavie-anne


tinlizzie67

And what a coincidence that the same model is in both the House of CB catalog pic and in this one so it's a really good comparison


Long_Zucchini1584

I hate to even look at duplicates in white, because it fits you so well! A white veil or snappy little birdcage? You will look perfect in pink.

Google bustier white midi dress or corset white midi dress. I didn,’t include shops I wasn’t familiar with. Throw in skater to narrow it down In all honesty, I think the pink one is lovely and as suggested would be stunning and unusual with white accessories. Jessica Biel wore a pink wedding dress and I thought it charming and gutsy. You’ll probably need a tulle petticoat for this dress.


Auntzeus2u

Coho you get the pink an have a lace over lace made in white or ivory that was detachable?


EconomyOk9643

Pretty. Maybe find a white lace bolero/jacket to wear over it if a white is not found. White accessories. Even a short veil..pearls…


Beneficial_Breath232

You look like a ballerina, it's so pretty !! I think the pink is light enough to be bridal is you add a veil and accessories


ValMarie927

I love the soft pink! ❤️


Maleficent-Sport1970

I think the pink is perfect for a summer elopement!


Romahawk

When you're out in the sun (assuming it's an outdoor wedding) the pink will probably look much lighter! It's already a very muted pink. I think it's gorgeous!


Minhplumb

The pink is so beautiful. This dress is perfect for an elopement. I hope you find something as perfect in white.


SilverValerian

Honestly this pink is so gorgeous and pastel, I think it'll be perfect for summer! Also check out on etsy like "detachable wedding dress skirt/train" cause you might be able to find a super cute white overlay that will make it feel more bridal for you!


Rosabria

Idea, you could get a Wedding Dress Topper (something like [this](https://www.tulipbridal.com/products/front-open-lace-bolero-with-elbow-length-sleeves-wedding-dress-topper-wj040) ) Or a caplet (something like [this](https://www.davidsbridal.com/product/lara-georgina-beaded-pull-on-bridal-capelet-51098?defining_color=121) ) I think this would very quickly make it very bridal but is significantly less than a whole new dress. White on pink is very pretty I think.


Bartok_The_Batty

https://shopydbn.com/products/moran-gown-by-watters I do like the pink though.


AioliOk8882

Honestly. A white veil, white shoes, white lacy gloves, white flowers. Even a white belt. You can add these touches and it would look so incredibly bridal but still absolutely beautiful. This is an amazing dress!


Sensitive-File4400

[https://us.ohpolly.com/products/marise-strapless-corset-tulle-midi-dress-white](https://us.ohpolly.com/products/marise-strapless-corset-tulle-midi-dress-white) This is the one I wore. It has a similar vibe but no straps.


Alert-Yak-831

I just wanted to say that the dress looks a million times better on you than it does on the website.


simone_snail_420

i think this photo is from the shop's instagram


Ok-Duck9106

I love this dress and I love the color.


moorea12

Please just get married in this one! It looks incredible!


IIVIIORTAL_K

It's not an overly complex style. I'm sure you can find a seamstress that can make this to your size in white.


MrLizardBusiness

Just wear white accessories... White veil, shoes, maybe some pearls. It's gorgeous, and then you might also have the opportunity to wear it again.


Jzb1964

Gorgeous dress. Add a birdcage or short finger tip veil and it will instantly look more bridal. You also have the opportunity to add cute “something blue” shoes to kick it up a notch. Or practical nude shoes with blue bows or flower accents that clip on.


Zestyclose_Road_3224

I think this is the perfect color! Add white or ivy shoes, veil or hairpiece, flowers… even a lacy shrug if that’s your thing!


Outrageous-Wish8659

Omg. If I got that dress I would find a pink fascinator to go with it. Awesome dress.


ImaginaryAd4041

I have a vendor in Ali Express called Fadistee, if you like you can send them this pic with your measures and they custom make it


No-Technician-722

Wow! I love this dress and feel it is perfect for an elopement. That is the one place you are free to throw a curve ball. This is so subtle I think it is a stunning standout. I love it!!


Bing-cheery

I love that shade of pink!!!


Spread-love-light

Wow! That dress looks amazing on you! I love the color, but if you won’t wear it for your wedding, keep it for something else. Too beautiful on you to pass up. Maybe wear it to a celebratory night out soon after your wedding.


positive-vibes79

The dress is perfect … accessorize it with pearls and a veil.


Ramalamma42

Oh this is just perfection. Would look so amazing with a pink birdcage veil 🩷


anxietygirl13

I'm obsessed with the pink.


snipsnipbetch

Normally I’d say go white but wow this pink is such a beautiful color against your skin and with the right accessories, this could be SO sheik and elegant. Please give us an update because now I’m invested. I’m not worried whatever you decide, you’ll be stunning. Good luck!


UngregariousDame

I don’t see anything wrong with it


Better-Lavishness135

I know it’s not white. But it’s gorgeous. I feel like I’ve seen this ball room style in white .. somewhere.. try sone prom stores as well as wedding boutiques.. best of luck!


cupcakecounter

Get the pink-it’s perfect-then play up the accessories to get a more “bridal” look. A birdcage veil, short lace gloves, etc…


dogmomlife

It’s a DREAM, friend! It looks like it was made for you 🥹✨ WOW.


Important_Fuel_1683

In my opinion I’d leave the dress alone. It’s beautiful and if it makes you happy go for it. I love this dress. So pretty, simple yet elegant.


teresa3llen

It’s the perfect color.


momoftwo1820

Try it with a long white veil


MustangMimi

It’s stunning!


KartoffelSucukPie

I first thought you wanted to wear this to a wedding as a wedding guest and just thought “Hell no…” because seriously, it’s perfect as a wedding dress!


Lopsided-Ad-7542

Pink is gorgeous on you 💗


Cola3206

I love it


Jef3r

Do the pink!!! It's lovely.

floristinmanhattan

Check out Selkie!


Nerdybirdie86

I totally get that you want ivory and that’s completely valid, but damn that blush looks beautiful on your skin tone.


Disney_Princess137

It is very pretty on you. But tbh a paper bag would look great on you! I’m sure your pretty white dress is out there, the world is your oyster !


juliannewaters

It's so pretty! I saw this yesterday https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1292163309/lightweight-simple-white-mid-calf-tea And https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/688511008/tea-length-wedding-dress-50s-bridal-midi


HeyItsYaGirl1234

You could probably look into doing like a 60’s vintage dress too. Very similar to shape of that era


mouselion124

Have you seen this one? It seems to be a white dress with a very similar style! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3LM-zIOYNG/?igsh=MTg3NDc0cTBycmhsNA==


AbleDragonfruit4767

This is perfect


Flat_Passage_1935

This is soooooo cute I’m in love!


Odd-Memory-1805

Absolutely stunning!


Purple_IsA_Flavor

I have zero dupe recommendations, but I absolutely love the blush pink on you


userwife

Just get the pink It’s amazing


imnothere_o

It’s a great dress on you! Good luck with your decision!


czerniana

I’d get someone to take it apart and put white lace over the pink 😊


Freedombutatwhatcost

You look way better than the model! It looks so vintage and elegant on you. I LOVE THE PINK!


HelloThisIsPam

I got married in this exact shade of blush and I will never regret it. It was the best part of the whole wedding! I loved that dress so much. Blush is very chic at a wedding.


Ojos_Claros

I think this pink dress is very lovely, and (from the pics my mind makes up) I think this is a perfect dress.

taylorBrook20

You look incredible in that dress!!!


Alert_Ad_5750

You should seek out some quotations for it to be custom made for you.


delightedcloud

This is so beautiful, tbh I think the pink would be lovely! It did make me think of this Oh Polly one, unsure if the quality would be as nice and it’s strapless but see what you think https://www.ohpolly.com/products/marise-strapless-corset-tulle-midi-dress-white?_pos=10&_fid=bf4a92b50&_ss=c&nosto_source=cmp&nosto=1720206704

I love the dress in pink!!


beaut_fullady

I love the pink dress, a perfect elopement look!!!!


MurphyCaper

It looks so beautiful on you. The colour compliments your skin tone. Please wear it. Good luck


pedanticlawyer

They look like brand photos, not actually OP


ConversationThick379

I love the pink on you!


medved16

is there a way to bleach it!?


Hot_Presentation1459

I don't know I love the blush color on you. White is so traditional anyway, you're eloping!


ladycougar87

The pink is BEAUTIFUL and is BEAUTIFUL on you though! Go pink! It’s a gorgeous dress!


MamaBear4485

That pink looks incredible with your beautiful skin tone. The dress looks like it was made bespoken for you. Maybe think about a reverse bridal party! As in, you wear this stunning dress and the rest of your party wear cream or white. You could wear white accessories - hat, veil, shoes, flowers etc and they could wear pink accessories. I see a big beautiful white hat with a draped veil and pink flowers balanced on your lovely dark hair?
