Wear same outfit to wedding

[ClearHoldBuild]

My niece married in 2021 and her brother is getting married later this year.
I adore what I wore to my niece’s wedding and haven’t worn it since.
Would it be appropriate to wear the same outfit to my nephew’s wedding four years later?

If I liked it and felt good I’d wear if the 2nd wedding was the following week

I would. I don't see what the problem is with wearing the same dress

So what? I would. I don't understand this at all.

Oh I do "do fashion" , and I can't even begin to understand the mindset that you can't wear the dress again.

Nobody remembers what anyone wears unless it was spectacularly dreadful or spectacularly nice.

I go to an industry black tie event annually. I've worn the same dress several times. I've also noticed that someone else wore the same dress 3 years running- I noticed because her dress was fabulous.

Not really. The only people that would be the same would be the groom’s family, which would be the groom, my brother, his wife, my parents, another brother, the groom’s sister and his three cousins, two being my DC. Also the groom’s mother and her parents. My niece and nephew have different friendship groups and the bride’s family weren’t at the wedding four years ago.

I can’t remember what I was wearing four years ago. I was at my Nieces wedding! The only dress I remember was the Bride’s gorgeous gown.

Definitely not. Save it for a different event. Buy yourself something new that you also love .

That's still a lot of people. I would assume you have had no other events since or that you are broke. Sorry.

My brother got married 3 or 4 years ago and I can remember my mums outfit vaguely but that’s about it pretty much. Someone else wore a jumpsuit so that stands out but if she happened to appear at the next wedding I went to I would just think “ ooh there’s that lovely jumpsuit again” Buying an “ occasion “ dress and only wearing it once is madness. Unless you go to the races or maybe a Garden party at Buckingham palace what other event would you wear it too ? You need to wear it again to get the cost per wear down. ( and as for thinking someone’s poor 🙄… let’s just say there’s nothing wrong with that in any event)

What an odd assumption to make rather than just that someone likes that dress.

Still you'd be welcome to make that assumption, I don't think many people would he bothered if you did think that whether it was correct or not.

That's fine though, your reply looked like you actually gasped at the thought of same outfit 😀

What?

Do you realise how bitchy that sounds?

I think it sounds more laughably immature than bitchy

Come on it's a bit sad to wear the same outfit with the same guests some years later. Why not buy something on Vinted for £20? It just looks tight tbh

What a weird attitude to have you said on your initial post basically if the op wore the dress people would think she had nowhere to go because she was unpopular and skint !

You don't sound very nice. I very rarely get invited to smart events so Iof course I rewear my "smart event" clothes if I love them.

Fortunately, none of my friends and family are as unpleasantly judgemental as you. The only outfit I have where the intention was to wear it only once is my wedding dress.

The sooner we move away from this attitude the better.

if you have a good quality item that suits you and gives you pleasure to wear, why spend more needlessly? Even £20.

Erm, no it isnt.

Let's all be glad the world is a better place than the one heidyho lives in!

I would, but my mother wouldn’t, she’d rather spend hundreds on an outfit for a wedding , and never wear the darned thing again.

No one can really remember her wearing it anyway, but she’s bonkers. 😝

Have fun, and save yourself a huge expense.

Ridiculous attitude. I have 2 dresses I bought 8 years ago that have been worn regularly to black tie events where the same people will be there. They cost me £1,000- to say a £20 dress from Vinted would be better is ridiculous.

I would wear it again without a second thought. Are people really going to go to the back of a cupboard for an old wedding album and compare everyone's outfits at the two weddings? You really don't need to bother about people who would do this and comment negatively about it.

Princess Anne does it all the time. If it is good enough for her then it is good enough for us. By the way is your Husband/partner wearing the same suit ?

Of course you can! I’ve worn one dress to 4 weddings, all in the space of a single summer. Admittedly it was for 4 entirely different groups (my family, DH family, my friends and DH friends). I changed shoes and bags for each wedding, my family wedding (sibling) I wore a hat and at DH’s family wedding (cousin) I wore a fascinator. I still have the dress and wouldn’t hesitate to wear it again if it still fitted.
