Re-wearing gown?

I have a ballgown that I wore to my cousin's wedding in 2003. I love this gown. It looks great on me (or it did, I haven't worn it in awhile, but assuming it still does).

Can I wear it to another black tie affair for another cousin who is the first cousin of the original wedding I wore it to? Yes there is photographic evidence, yes the guest list is largely the same. yes, people might actually remember.

How much does it REALLY matter?

It doesn't - it's 5 years later, YOU Love the gown and feel absolutely fabulous in it - Why would you hide it in your closet when you have the opportunity to wear it again?

Is it SUPER distinctive, or is it like a classic black gown? Either way I think you are probably ok to wear it again...gowns are expensive and how much can you really wear them! people understand...

It's really about how comfortable YOU are with it. If you're okay with it then do it.

It's 5 years later, so only a freak like me would remember. There aren't too many out there like me and I don't know you so you're in the clear. Chat Icon

I would probably say that you can wear it again. It is enough time for people not to remember you wearing it the first time.

I would wear it again. I would just change up the accessories and maybe do something different with my hair to change the look a bit!

Re: Re-wearing gown?

It was 5 years ago and even if there is photographic evidence, it is likely that a majority of people won't remember what you wore. Heck - they probably don't even remember what they wore!

Go for it!
