Formal Dilema

[anweiler71]

Does anyone out there know where to find a Tuxedo shirt, slim/modern fit, laydown spread/semi-spread collar... off the rack ... in IVORY? My fiancee's dress is ivory and putting a full white tuxedo shirt up against it is a huge contrast. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

I would just have one made.

My wife had an ivory dress, I had a white shirt. It's completely unnoticeable even in the pictures. The jacket separates the colors enough, really shouldn't be obvious at all unless it's a very yellow ivory. If you plan on taking off your jacket, maybe you should worry about it.

+1. Tuxedo shirts are white.

The desire is a bit odd to me to try to match the bride's dress at all. My wife too had an ivory dress; I wore a white shirt and a solid navy tie. It looked just fine -- no one was really looking at my shirt anyway. Ivory or off-white shirts are to be avoided in my opinion -- they can often appear dingy or dirty looking. You can't go wrong with a crisp, clean white under any circumstances.
