Bartswife Posted January 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2018 as the heading says, is it acceptable to wear the same dress a couple of nights, I have bought a lovely long black beaded dress and want to enjoy wearing it!!! I have three short cocktail dresses as well as dressy slacks and tops so will have enough to have something different each night but our cruise is the only time I'm going to get to wear it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndzc Posted January 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I would say if you are happy in it then why not! Maybe different accessories to give it a diffetent look if you wanted, but to be honest I doubt anyone would even notice! Whatever you do, Enjoy!

The Wilkies Posted January 4, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2018 My philosophy. No one knows me!. Go for it. Did the same thing on a recent cruise. Told 2 formal nights, but there were 3, so one frock worn twice. Did it bother me, not in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrdsrdsr Posted January 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Are you worried that someone you have never heard of or spoken to may tell someone a thousand miles from where you live that they saw a woman wear the same dress twice? Because if so, stop worrying. They won't know it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapphire4 Posted January 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I always do so. Perhaps wear different jewellery, shawl, or shoes etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted January 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I say go for it and wear your dress as many times as you want to. On our last cruise I took 3 long dresses because we had 3 formals but wore one of them twice and did not wear the 3rd at all. The reason I did this was I wore the black one ( my favourite ) on the first formal night not thinking about later in the cruise so on the black and white night I was stuck with a royal blue long dress which I did not want to wear that night. I never considered that anyone might be interested enough in me to note what I was wearing. Enjoy your cruise and don't worry about other people's opinions.

Scriv Posted January 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2018 No one will notice ....I often double up, but if you want to make it a bit different add different jewellery or accessories. Enjoy feeling good in your lovely dress :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted January 5, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Blokes do it all the time. Does anyone ever comment on all the men wearing the same DJ on every formal night no. Go and enjoy. Dress sounds lovely by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Presto2 Posted January 5, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Sounds lovely - go and enjoy it ! I'd say the only 'posh' dress I've never worn twice is my wedding dress, other than that, go and enjoy it ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomelessBear Posted January 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 7, 2018 You enjoy wearing the dress as many times as you want to. Feel glamorous and have fun. No one will notice you’ve worn it before - unless they admired you wearing it the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted January 10, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 10, 2018 OVer the years I've trimmed my formal clothes down to one black long dress, and various evening trousers and tops. No-one notices, or if they do, then they're probably not my sort of people. I go for the itinerary, not the dressing up, and find others who think the same. These limited outfits cover each formal evening on a month's cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartanexile81 Posted January 11, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Over the years I suppose I've gathered formal dresses that I only wear on cruises so I like to wear something different every night but tbh the only person who'll know that you're wearing the same dress twice is you so don't worry.

Mitzi_Muffin Posted January 11, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I have long dresses from previous cruises a few years ago, do a lot of ladies still adhere to wearing long dresses. I have got a few cocktail dresses that I am going to take for formal nights, still considering whether to take a long dress help!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got a few cocktail dresses that I am going to take for formal nights, still considering whether to take a long dress help!. I personally don’t wear long dresses as I’m very short! So always worn a cocktail style dress and haven’t felt out of place. I have noticed many ladies in long dresses also so I really think it’s up to your personal taste.

Mewat Posted January 11, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I've got a couple of full length dresses that I wear on formal nights - only chance that I get to wear them and I love the opportunity to get them out. Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartswife Posted January 11, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted January 11, 2018 To everyone who has answered my question with genuine help - Thankyou. I thought this forum was intended to help people especially first timers like me so I'm disappointed to find amongst the helpful posters people who post unkind comments like the one about me not being anyone of importance, believe me I know I'm not I am however a sensitive person and I asked the question in order for me to not feel awkward if I had been in the position of wearing the same dress twice. I know in future not to ask such silly questions and risk having unpleasantness in response. I'm a member of another holiday forum whose advice gave us the best holiday we've ever had and I was hoping for the same from here but some people think they are being witty when I see it as just plain nasty.

Florry Posted January 11, 2018 #25 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I hope my nobody cares comment didn’t cause offence, I didn’t mean it in an insulting way just a reassuring way, but in the absence of a [emoji4] I see it might have sounded a bit pointed, which wasn’t intended!
