Color Reconciliation Assistance - David's Bridal?

I'm buying some of my wedding party stuff used. I see David's newest royal blue is called "Blue Velvet". Previously, what was royal blue called through David's. Calypso Blue? Sapphire? Will any of those match exactly to one another? I want to know so when I search for used I can try different searches and not end up with dresses that don't match exactly. THANKS!!!

my advice to you is to call their store and ask them personally. like that you know that the answer you are getting is the correct one.





I love david's bridal- I had an amazing time there and the sales person was so amazing i'm even inviting her to my wedding. I understand that some people have had a horrible time there but that was not my case.
Reply:Fabrics dyed in different dye lots will vary, no matter what fancy name is slapped on by the manufacturer. What David's (or any manufacturer) will do is dye a large quantity of fabric at a time. A lot of factors influence what color the fabric will end up (time in dye, etc). This is why not all blacks, for example, will match exactly.





Because you will be buying dresses made of material that were dyed in different lots, you honestly can't expect them to match exactly. If it's that important to you that they be exactly the same, then I recommend you not only order all new dresses, but have all your dresses ordered at the same time. (Get measurements and payment from all your attendants then go to the shop and order them all at once.) That will help ensure that they are all made from the same dye lot.
Reply:Even if you do find what it previouly was if its cut from a differnt dye lot it could look alot differnt. Even if you were to order all blue velvet but at differnt time it could look different. Your best bet would to bring the previosue dress into the store and see how it matchs. Blues can be very fickel kinda like black where certain blues will look more purple or green but you wont know it untill you see it next to somthing its supposed to perfectly match.
Reply:I believe it was sapphire. It was my cousin's color. If you would happen to get different colors, you can have every other girl wear one color, and others wear another one, if that situation would arise. I will keep looking for you.
Reply:DB does suck...but you can get a swatch from them of exactly what color you need and then you can take it to match your color.
Reply:It was alternately called indigo blue and aqua blue, respectively. :-)
