Oleg Cassini Dress 5438 - "Taupe"?

Hi there, I have tried this dress on in white but it is also available in Taupe and I am curious as to what this looks like .. The sales assistants didn`t seem to know whether `taupe` meant ivory, champagne, beige ... Etc. Has anyone seen this dress in Taupe? Is the colour similar to any other dress they have online at the moment or in their catalogue? Many thanks for any assistance!!

Hi there, Taupe is like champagne it`s darker than ivory. The dress is taupe but it does have ivory lace un top. If you have any more questions feel free to email me jas4321@hotmail.com

I purchased the dress #5438 in Taupe and I haven`t had any luck seeing the dress in Taupe, my dress will be ready on Nov 16, I will try to post a picture for you to see once it comes in.

I know you have had your wedding, but I was just curious if you have a picture of the dress in taupe. I am interested in buying it, but do not want to do so sight unseen. I have called stores all over the country but no one can provide me with a picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Courtney,

I wore the Oleg Cassini 5438 in Taupe for my July wedding of 2007. I have pictures if you are interested. Just e-mail me at Jillian.Eakins@uky.edu.

Here`s a picture...this probably represents the color the best in natural light. I have more pictures if you want to see them. Just e-mail me at jceaki2@uky.edu. The bodice is darker ivory with lighter ivory beadwork and the skirt is the same darker ivory with a lighter ivory organza overlay. It shows the detailing much better than the white one (I tried only the white on and ordered this sight-unseen...)

Thank you for the pictures. The dress is gorgeous. Did you get the veil at David`s Bridal as well?

Courtney,

Yes I purchased the veil at Davids Bridal as well...is the Mantilla, style 269 in ivory. They suggested to me ordering the veil in champagne (since no one was familiar with the color "taupe`)...which is WAAAY too dark. Ivory is the way to go; the lace edging matches the lace on the bottom of the dress!
