Let’s admit it girls, every time we buy an expensive outfit for a wedding function, no matter how much we promise to ourselves that we will make the best use of this investment, even we know at the back of our mind that it will rest in our wardrobe forever after one use! And whenever there’s next wedding to attend, we have things like “how can I wear the same dress again”, “kya izzat reh jayegi meri?”, “I have to look different from the last time”, “shaadiyaan koi roz thodi aati hain” and what not going on in our mind!
Well, while a lot of us make such excuses to literally waste a huge amount of money on an outfit that we plan to wear just once, there are some big shot beauties that do not shy away from repeating their dresses on various occasions.
So, if you have been adamant about not wearing the same dress to another wedding function, let these 4 Bollywood and TV divas convince you who themselves repeated their outfits.
