When I got married, I refused to pay thousands of dollars for a dress that I would wear once in my life.
I bought a nice dress for $300 or maybe $200. And I asked my bridesmaids to get something they could wear again.
I’ve worn three bridesmaid dresses, thoughtfully chosen by the brides to be ‘reusable’.
Never wore any of them again. Hope the thrift store where I donated them made a little money.
