We had a photo shoot this week for the new styles coming in for First Communion season in January.  They are also very good Flower Girl dresses for the most part and quite a few would be excellent for pageant dresses - especially the floor-length ones for crowning ceremonies and formal wear competitions.  But I digress . . . .

These dresses are all white-on-white, which is always difficult to photograph and get the detail any time - just ask a wedding photographer!  So are most Christening ensembles - whether it’s Gown or Suit. On top of that, we’re showing them on line. 

There are times when we have to sacrifice exposure (as in - brightness) to show detail, which means that the photos may make the outfit appear “dark”.

Some of our visitors get really hung up on “it looks grey” or green or blue or whatever.

Some of it may be their monitor’s settings, or their computer’s interpretation of the photo.  But we may have had to sacrifice something in the photo so they can see the detail.  Otherwise, you would see a white blob.

Some times our visitors may see a hint of the color in the photo so they (their monitors + their eyes + their brains) interpret it as a color outfit.  That’s not good.  We also frequently have to sacrifice skin tones of the models to get proper detail on the garments they’re wearing.

You can always rely on the description for the true color.  And the description will also link to a color charte whenever one is available (much of the time on special order items).
