Can I reuse ROM Gown as my AD Gown?

[Suz]

I custom ordered a simple white ROM Gown from US for my ROM day. My ROM day only have about 40 pax of close friends and relatives.

I am considering whether I need to get another white gown for my Actual Day itself. And I think it is very wasteful if I only get to wear my ROM gown once.

Is it strange for people to re-use their ROM gown for AD?

Will friends and relatives criticise that I am stingy or on budget if they recognise the gown?

I think it's alright to reuse your gown. It's your wedding anyway and maybe you can dry clean your gown if you want to keep it clean and smell fresh for the AD if you still have plenty of time.

[silkiebabe]

yeah it's alright. depends on your decision.

It's up to personal preference! You might wanna consider the fact that your photos from both days will have you wearing the same dress though. But if you don't mind then I guess it's okay to wear it for ROM and AD

[thereddress]

i agree with almondgrass. if you plan to wear it on AD, then have it dry cleaned first

[wintermusings]

Yeah, it's alright. It really is just up to you.

[prettydresses]

Depends on you, I think it's okay.

[supergirl]

it's fine i guess. just have it dry cleaned after your ROM

[dancingqueen]

i reused mine, just had it dry cleaned

[wanderbee]

Sure. It's a good idea in order to save more money
