Last week, I twittered “Two weddings and absolutely nothing to wear!” Nadnut was so sweet to ask if I would like to borrow her clothes. I was too embarrassed to borrow from her so I rummaged through the old stock and pulled out the same dress I wore for Valentine’s Day.
I wouldn’t have admitted this years ago before there was such a thing as blogs. 
The truth is, when I’ve found a dress that I like, I secretly keep it for up to three weddings.
I figured that whenever I attend a relatives’ wedding, it will be in Negeri Sembilan. Whenever I attend a childhood friend or school mate’s wedding, it will be in Melaka. Whenever I attend a current colleague/friend’s wedding, it will be in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur.
So, I can wear the exact same dress three times and no one will have a clue.
Then when others come up to me and compliment the dress, I can flick my hair and say, “Oh this old thing?” and totally mean what I say.
I like the vintage looking sequins and crystals.
Do you think the faery-cut at the bottom shortens a person’s height?
PS: Can you share with me what you usually do with your worn but still in mint condition cocktail dresses?

What a pretty pretty dress … If it were me, I’d think that its too pretty for me to wear and then it’ll be in my cupboard and then I’d forget about it or cant fit into it anymore …
rinazs last blog post..A stupid commercial
actually, i read somewhere that bias cut dress complements short people. haha. anyway u always look great no matter what u wear, n u have a proportionate figure, so it doesnt really matter what kind of cut the dress is!
like u, i re-wear my cocktail dresses, but not to functions where there are people from the same circle as the previous event.
so what i do is that i hang paper tags on the dress hangers, to remind myself what events i have worn the dress to, previously.
i’m kind of forgetful. hahaha.

ah, hmm i used the word bias-cut. sorry, it’s asymetrical! haha.
WOW what a great idea! Every one should use that.
Daphne, I have no idea what could have possessed you to think I have a proportionate figure.
Rinaz: Put in the back of the cupboard? The poor, poor dress
New word in my vocabulary: Asymmetrical-cut
It lengthens rather than shortens? Hmm… I’m liking this dress more and more
