Subject: color question Author: =) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Monday, July 07, 05:15:05pm I found a lovely coral lace for a dress I'm working on, and have too many options to go with it... I've boiled it down for three, but sometimes I think I'm crazy, so I'm asking for other opinions. =) Coral & cream + navy Coral & cream + black Coral & cream + brown The navy is my favorite choice, but that might be a me thing as I like some peculiar color combos. Black is always safe & looks nice, but it's also very common (though perhaps not with coral). I'm not sure how I feel about brown, but it doesn't look bad - I'm just prejudiced. lol Thoughts?

Subject Author Date err, that should be "to three". hooray for typos! (NT) op Monday, July 07, 05:15:51pm I'm working on a dress with coral. Can I ask where you found the lace? (NT) Not using any of your other colors, tho Monday, July 07, 05:29:28pm Surprisingly, Joann's. It's part of the Casa spring collection. It isn't mind blowing, but its nice. I'm layering it over satin and blinging it out with beads and/or rhinestones. They also had a light turquoise and unusual pinky-purple. (NT) -- op, Monday, July 07, 06:27:06pm forgot to say, it isn't one of the usual Casa collection laces (which I think look very cheap), but it has cordwork on it, and it feels like decent quality lace. (NT) -- rambling op. =), Monday, July 07, 06:28:50pm Thank you. We're having quite the time finding the right overlay (NT) -- I'll check my store, Monday, July 07, 06:59:04pm We have coral paired with purple/grape...sounds awful but it is gorgeous. (NT) .. Monday, July 07, 06:34:38pm i'd do brown. I think it would look very sophisticated! (NT) very popular combo for weddings these days too Monday, July 07, 08:15:56pm Made a dress in coral, gold and lime! (NT) very pretty! Monday, July 07, 08:20:36pm depending on the dancer, If she is more "sophisticated" or serious or grown-up type: I'd go for brown/copperybrown first, if she has a "strong" face I'd take black, if she is more feminine, I'd take navy. (NT) just my gut feeling on colors Tuesday, July 08, 12:22:28am I'd do the navy! (NT) LynnOH Tuesday, July 08, 08:44:51am I second the navy. Love that color combo! (NT) -- Cher, Tuesday, July 08, 01:03:41pm I think we've decided on the Navy, it does seem to be the most feminine combo, and thats appropriate. =) Thanks so much! (NT) OP Tuesday, July 08, 03:25:27pm With embroidery, I'd go for black because navy always "looks" black, so I assume you are talking about a color for velvet. While I wear brown and coral together, I think a lot of girls nix brown. Black can look severe or Halloweenish, depending on the shade of coral. Here's a thought..what about an ivory or white velvet and coral lace..or even a shade of pink velvet with the coral, then ivory or white embroidery, (NT) depends on the look you're going for...and dancer's age. good luck.
