The Rewear Rules for Dresses

Every girl will wear a gown twice. Who wants to ditch a gown that's in its prime? You can re-wear without a care by following these simple rules. Having a ball is a definite must, especially in a gown you trust.

Make sure enough time has passed between events. Generally a few months will do. If you're attending two totally different events--say a jazzy cocktail party and a super fancy wedding--you may be able to pull of a few weeks between wears.

Consider the crowd. Who will be there? If the first event will be all your friends, and the next a bunch of adults, go ahead and re-wear with no regrets.

Change your look with completely different accessories and shoes. If you wore rhinestones to one event, consider pearls for the next occasion. If your dress is simple with little embellishment, try one bright, eye-catching necklace or bracelet as the focal point of your attire. This takes more attention off your dress.

Time for a new hairstyle? From down to up, curly to straight, a new do will give your gown a complete makeover.

Consider alterations. Straps can easily be retailored into a halter top. Viola! Brand new dress, barely a dent in your coin purse.

Don't re wear to the same annual event, like prom. Chances are, people took lots of pics last year and will snap away again. Don't want to be the ghost of prom past!

Go ahead and get your money's worth. With a gown from Tiza, you can't wear out your welcome.
