Option 1: Rewear your favourite party dress again

The most sustainable party dress is the one that’s already in your closet. So if you’ll soon be a guest at a wedding of which most people have only seen you in your favourite party dress on Innstagram once, wear it again. By styling your party dress with other accessories, it can suddenly feel like a whole new outfit!

Option 2: Borrow a dress for a wedding from your friend/family/roomies/neighbours

Even though it used to be standard to have one festive outfit and the most sustainable thing to do is to wear your evening dresses as often as possible, we also understand that in today's consumer-oriented society, you can feel not completely comfortable wearing the same dress to another wedding. Our tip? Ask around if family/friends/housemates/neighbours have wedding attire you can borrow! For the most recent wedding I attended as a guest, I borrowed a stunning vintage evening dress from my mom. Extra nice? It didn't cost me a single penny!

Option 3: rent a wedding guest dress online
