How bad is it?

I can't tell.

 

The bundle of pink is a bunch of satin tubes, pressed flat, to be cut into tabs to hang down over the pleats.  The taffeta looked so much more white before it was stacked up into pleats.  It's not even cream, really; it has sort of a peachy tone.  

It's kind of growing on me this way.  Considering the other options helps, but even so, it's not just convenience/laziness talking.  With the pink in there, it gives a sort of rosy tone against the white, and since the two fabrics (the taffeta and the organza) are so different anyway, they don't really need to super-match.

I can't just scrap everything now because I just don't have the time/money to start fresh with a new plan if I want to have something to wear to the ball.

Anyway, I'm going to try very hard to leave it alone for a few days and work on other stuff so I can come back with fresh eyes.

I think the rosy tone looks fine.

I love the peachy tone! It's not bad, it's fabulous!

Gee, I like it - and that's before I read the entry. The fabrics are so different it's a lot harder to tell. It also reminds me of that 1860s evening dress that's mixed materials - various sheers and silks - all in different whites and creams. Some are probably aged, so I'm not sure what it was like originally, but it's just gorgeous.

I think that would be fine! They are different enough that it looks intentional to me. I think you are totally good.

I think it looks fine. With the pink tab trim I think it'll look like it's taking the rosy tone from the pink contrast instead of being a different shade of white.
