I'm ordering my bridesmaid dress from Landys but I don't have time to order a colour chart! Wedding is on 30th June 2009. :j

Please please please could someone with a Landy chart describe colours 18 + 49 for me?? I'm after a sage type green...soft and muted.

Thanks so much

Charlie

    I'd say that 18 was more sage-y than 49.

    49 is a bit brighter than 18.

    I don't really know what else to say! lol! I don't want to influence your decision and then you hate it when it arrives!!!

    I too would say 18 is more sage than 49.

    Thank you both! I thought 18 looked a bit more muted. Its hard to tell from a computer monitor.

    I wish i had time to order a chart!!

    oooh, someone had pics of their bridesmaid dress on here somewhere (shade number 18) - sure it was the Landy thread?? Will check x


    edit - yes, Vendulina emailed me pics of her bridesmaid dress in shade 18, beautiful soft sage green. I still have the pics, but send a pm to her and I'm sure she'll send you them herself.

    I'm quite rubbish at colours but I would say 49 is def not sage green. 18 looks quite pale to me what about 40 or is this to dark?

    i agree with this i think 40 is more sage-y but it might be a bit dark - do you have a pic of the sort of colour you want- i know everyones screens are diffnt but maybe we'll get a better idea of what you are after?

    Thanks everyone. I have had a very kind offer now so I am going to borrow the two shades so I can view them at home.

    Thank goodness for MSE! You really are a nice bunch :j
