Reversable Dress?

[Morisnfan]

Have any of you ever worn one? I just got a great deal on one from Ebay- 8.00 including shipping! It seemed like a great idea when I started bidding, but now I wonder, is it icky? Should I launder it in between wearings? I was only planning on wearing it on the ship-inside mostly, not out sweating or anything. Any advice is welcome!

At home, I would launder, but that would be after probably wearing for a full day. Assuming you are wearing it just for the evening, it would be okay as long as deoderant didn't rub off or something. Though I still might launder it.

If you plan on reversing it between wearings, then yes, you should absolutely have it cleaned between wearings.

Are you sure "reversible" doesn't mean wearing it backwards?

Just making a funny, or trying to.

[Morisnfan]

I guess I'll find out when it arrives! :)

I have a reversible skirt and I wash it before I wear it each time. It doesn't look sat in or wrinkled. I would wash it every time I wear it.

[Morisnfan]

Yes, now that I really think about it I'll have to wash it each time-but not so bad really I can always do a quickee hand wash & hang in bathroom to dry.

I'm planning to pack as if I am going on a 7 day but actually am going on a 14 day. Must be strong & limit # of shoes I bring too!

You don't say what kind of fabric this dress is made of. All I can say is if it's mostly polyester, then you can soak it in woolite or dishwashing liquid, rinse out well and let it drip dry in the shower.

This topic reminds me of something that I saw yesterday while shopping at an Outdoor/Camping store (J.L. Waters).

 

Ex Officio lightweight underwear

Tagline: "7 countries, 16 weeks, 1 pair of underwear":eek:

Evidently, one can wear these underwear for a few days before washing and they (hallelujah) dry quickly after washing.

 

I just thought it might be an extreme example of trying to save space.:D

 

On the other hand, a reversible dress would be a good example of saving space.:)

I think a reversible dress sounds like a great idea! I was going to mention deodorant marks as well but if you are doing a quick hand wash between wearings, it should be fine. Good luck!

Good luck on that one!!:rolleyes:
