B/W to Color Issues

Hey All,
So I am transforming my grandmothers wedding photos to color for her anniversary. All of them are coming out excellent except for this one. The white balance was off already because it's a copy of a copy. The others aren't as diluted from the original. I am thinking that's probably why I'm having issues.
Anyway, so you can see from the image that the white is horrid. It's alright if I don't try to reduce the brightness of the white. But then it's uber over powering the rest of the photo. I'm using a selective color adjustment layer to pull out the brightness on the white. I've also tried a brightness/contrast with a mask on them and it still gives the odd 2 tone affect on the white. So I figured I use a color blending mode and feather in the white where it shows darker, but that's not working (it worked on the red). I also tried a mask with a curve's adjustment. I'm at a stand still. Anyone have any ideas?
Oh, and if you look at the one by herself you'll see the lace pattern on the dress. I would love to get that pattern inserted on the washed out one, but I can't figure that one out.
