I say stick with the ivory. I ordered mine months ago and was having the same reservations. In my mind, "ivory" meant "yellow." I actually went back to the store and tried it on. Ivory is still white. It's just not diamond white. I also tried my dress on in diamond white, and it was soooo white! I thought it made me look...I don't know, fake? It might have just been my skin tone because I'm more olive-y, but I really liked the soft look of the ivory.
