Which color for this dress?

[gwapes]

I won a a contest for yarn to make this dress. I can't decide on colors. The Black / Ivory are the ones I can choose. Suggestions? It's wool so it'll be for fall/winter.

You can choose between black or white?? (I'm a little confused)

I would keep the ivory and substitute a gold/mustard color for the black.

Ooo sorry. Yes the black and the white I can choose.

White and navy? It actually looks navy already, I like it a lot. Have you looked on Ravelry? You can see other people's finished project in the same pattern. I love to see what other people do with the same pattern, they have Greta ideas about color and sometimes it comes out different than I would imagine.

It's a dark gray actually. I did check ravelry, but because it's such a new pattern there aren't any there. A blogger I follow (the same who is doing the giveaway) did her version (pictured). 


I am thinking Purple and something. Maybe? Gray? 

ahhh there's just so many choices

Falls colors I like are maroon and ivory. If it is for winter, maybe a light blue?

I love purple, aubergine (but not burgundy) or grey.
What size are you making? I would pick a color that can be worn with lots of neutral leggings, jeans or tights. When my mom makes stuff like this I put on DD often so she gets plenty of wear out of it. I also don't like to wash hand knit items after every wear so they get layered over t shirts and leggings so she can wear again.

I like how the top looks in the examples so I would keep that white or ivory. Maybe a deep royal purple

Ahh I went with an Eggplant + Ivory. Plus they're throwing in some extra to do the Owl in the 2nd picture. Which will be the Eggplant + Lavender color. I'm so excited !

Rainyday I am making it 4 yr old size.

eta: Thanks for the suggestions
