As the previous post explained, you would produce a double het. It would be a yellowbelly x het leucy. A few of these combinations have been made, such as the phantom x yellowbelly.
No one knows what will happen when you breed the double hets together, although a common assumption is that the leucistic trait will wipe out the yellow stripe of the ivory.
Time will tell...

Ivories are indeed Lucy, just one of the less clean looking ones out there.
Secondly, as far as I know the there are no YB X Het Lucies that would produce a lucy, but a double homo Ivory Lucy would have two versions of luecism in one animal, genotype would be Homozygous Ivory Homozygous Lucy(whatever type was used;fire, mojave, butter, russo, etc) but the phenotype would be just Lucy.
