same dress?

is it the height of fashion no-no to wear the same dress both formal nights? i have the basic "little black dress" that can be accessorized any way. will i be a fashion faux pas?

No one will ever even notice.

It may be a fashion no-no, but I do it. I have a long basic black dress that DOES NOT WRINKLE. In fact I will be wearing it three nights on my next cruise. Once with a white lacy top, the second with a teal blouse/jacket over it, and the third - with a black wrap.

 

Cruises are the only time I wear formalwear, plus I travel solo so I hate to be dragging to much luggage. Works well for me - Just make sure you have a steamer or send it out in between for pressing if you dress is not wrinkle proof.

It is a good idea, and helps save on the amount of luggage you bring.

 

As a guy, I wear the same coat, and bring two different ties. You can change an accessory, like a wrap or shawl and it will look different....:)

My sister is going on a cruise with me to the Caribbean next month. She doesn't want to lug alot of clothes along, and I don't blame her. She bought a very pretty, classic line black dress from TravelSmith and plans to wear it on both formal nights. With a few changes in accessories, it will look great! I'm a clothes horse and like to change outfits, so I will be the one lugging multiple suitcases! However, to each their own, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing your dress several times. Hope you have a great cruise!

There are so many ways you could accessorize that I don't think anybody would ever notice. You could have a different colored shawl, different jewelry, different hairstyle. You could have one look that's more sedate with simple jewelry and have another look that's not as sedate with a colored shawl, less simple jewelry. Accessories don't take up much room and it doesn't take much to change the look of an outfit, especially a LBD.

Sure you can wear the same dress twice! Accessories can make a huge difference, but even if you changed nothing it would be fine. Although I usually take two different formal dresses, just for the fun of it, it wouldn't bother me to wear the same one twice.

I agree, I would wear a black dress twice with different accessories, I just happen to have at least three to choose from for my cruise! :rolleyes:

People are so wrapped up in what THEY are wearing that they won't even notice what you have on. (Assuming it's not jeans...then it's "OH MY GAWD....did you see her????")
