6. Ivory 

Ivory is a classy color that represents purity, sophistication, and elegance. And there’s pretty much no right or wrong way to accessorize an ivory dress. This classic color also is great for different skin tones because it’s not pure white and is less likely to wash you out.
However, when you’re wearing ivory, there are a few things to consider. For example, the cut, texture, and embellishments are all important factors that need to be kept in mind.
So, be careful not to choose a cut and style that makes you come out looking very bridal. Instead, go for something simple that still has plenty of detail, like AMARRA 87219.

Different shades include rose, peach, fuchsia, coral, salmon, and more. From warm undertones to cool shades, you have plenty of choices when it comes to pink dresses.

Apart from this, whether you’re going for a shirt, a flirty dress or a ball gown fit for a princess, pink is the perfect shade to rock almost every style.
