"I shop off the rack for my wedding-guest attire. So there was a chance that one day I&amp;amp;#8217;d show up to a wedding in the same dress as someone else. Well, ladies, it happened. I saw her out of the corner of my eye and, considering I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t wearing contacts or my glasses, I brushed it off as a (blurry) figment of my imagination. And then someone I vaguely knew approached me with a frown. &amp;amp;#8220;Great dress,&amp;amp;#8221; she said. &amp;amp;#8220;Too bad she&amp;amp;#8217;s wearing it, too,&amp;amp;#8221; and she pointed at the woman I saw earlier who was, most definitely, wearing the exact same dress. Though that woman was probably around 40, she was slimmer than me, and she looked great in the dress. So I said so to this acquaintance. Which leads me to tip #1. Don&amp;amp;#8217;t hate on your dress twin. Sure, I could&amp;amp;#8217;ve said that I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t think this particular designer intended for moms of teenagers to wear his clothing, but it would only make me look foolish--and bitchy. You obviously have similar taste; why dis her? For the same reason, if someone says, &amp;amp;#8220;You look better in it,&amp;amp;#8221; don&amp;amp;#8217;t agree (even if it truly is the case). Just laugh it off. If no one brings it up, ignore it. Most likely, no one else will notice that your dress is the same as another wedding guest&amp;amp;#8217;s--unless of course it&amp;amp;#8217;s lime green with a sequined train or something. And really, we&amp;amp;#8217;re adults. Wearing the same outfit isn&amp;amp;#8217;t such a big deal, so no need to let it ruin your night. Compliment her if it comes up. I witnessed a young wedding guest scowling at a friend of mine because they were wearing the same black dress (which I never would&amp;amp;#8217;ve noticed if she weren&amp;amp;#8217;t giving her death glares). My pal walked up to her and said, &amp;amp;#8220;Love your dress!&amp;amp;#8221; The girl was stunned, but then she smiled and said, &amp;amp;#8220;Yours too.&amp;amp;#8221; If someone&amp;amp;#8217;s rude, take the high road. I sincerely hope this wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t happen, but socially clueless people get invited to weddings, too. If another guest says something obnoxious like, &amp;amp;#8220;She looks better in the dress,&amp;amp;#8221; or &amp;amp;#8220;What, are you two bridesmaids also?&amp;amp;#8221; don&amp;amp;#8217;t take it personally. You could respond with, &amp;amp;#8220;Everyone looks great tonight!&amp;amp;#8221; or kill her with kindness and compliment her on her jewelry or hair. Or you know what? Tell her you need a drink and walk away. Give the bride a funny memory. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re the outgoing type, you could ask to pose for a picture with your dress twin and even get the wedding photographer to snap a shot of you two. But if you&amp;amp;#8217;d rather just let things be, that&amp;amp;#8217;s cool. Have you ever worn the same dress as another wedding guest? Did anyone bring it up? Which of the above are you most likely to do if you&amp;amp;#8217;re in this situation? More About Wedding-Guest Attire Is This Dress Too Flashy to Wear to a Wedding?
