Fashion issue- wwyd?

So I am going to a wedding in July for a friend. I have this great dress I wanted to wear. Its really the only think I have in my closet to wear to a wedding.

I wore this dress to a wedding 3 years ago of my friend, S. S's sister is my best friend from childhood. S and her family are all invited to this wedding and we will probably all be sitting together. They may remember the dress.

Should I wear the dress again, or look for something else?

WWYD?

So the only people who will be at both weddings are the old bride ( and immediate family ) and the new bride?

I would wear it then.

BUT if the entire circle of friends were invited to both weddings then I wouldn't wear it.

No. its just the old bride and her family (and the new bride). No one else who was at the old wedding will be at this one.

A friend of mine wore the same dress she wore to my wedding to a mutual freinds wedding 2 year' later & I only noticed, b/c I have pictures of here from my wedding & I pay attention to silly things like that, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with doing that.

I assumed she had it cleaned in the 2 years! Chat Icon

perfect! go for it!

Honestly, I have two black dresses that I have been alternating to all of the weddings that I have ( over 12 from 2007-2008 ) and so far it has worked out!

Thanks. I am definitely leaning to wearing it again. She is one of my last friends to get married, and I have a feeling when the other one gets married, it won't be in the US and much less formal, so chances are I won't wear it again.

Re: Fashion issue- wwyd?

3 YEARS ago ?? I would absolutely wear it again - If you wore it 3 weeks or 3 months ago, then I'd find something new ..........but really? 3 YEARS ?? I don't think I'd remember what anyone was wearing at my Wedding if I saw them in the same dress 3 years later !!!

Re: Fashion issue- wwyd?

i'd have to say just wear it. what's the difference. i could care less what people were wearing at my wedding much less if they had worn it to someone elses wedding. why should you have to go spend money on a new dress for my wedding??? i get something new if i don't feel like wearing what i have. but then again..i'm not big on clothes so maybe my opinion shouldn't countChat Icon

Re: Fashion issue- wwyd?

I'd definitely wear it again! If it fits & is still in good condition... why not? I highly doubt they'd remember being that it was 3 years ago and also, who cares if they do remember? You're allowed to wear the same dress more than once!

I would wear it again. AND I would casually mention to your friend S that you were going to. This way its out there. Like someone else said, you are allowed to wear a dress twice.

I agree. Why would anyone care that you wore it before and heck it was 3 years ago and only one family!!

I probably wouldn't wear it because I'm a freak and I DO remember what people wore to my wedding 4 years ago. But that's one of my quirks. Most normal people wouldn't remember. Chat Icon

ITA. It's a gorgeous dress and people will remember it. It would be nice to wear again but not with people who have seen the dress before.
