you arrive in a party to find that someone else is wearing a dress exactly the same as he one you're wearing? do you grin and bear it or do you go home to change?

I have never had this happen to me before but I don't think it would be a big deal. I don't get too upset about the rules of fashion. They are constantly changing the rules anyway!

correct! it shouldn't matter a bit at all. when this happens, it just shows that you're not off the track after all. you're in!

if we look stunning and beautiful that night in a party i will go to her and tell her that we have a taste in choosing a dress because my taste is just like her to dress that in a party. you must be proud.. (",)

Well I wouldn't worry about it. In fact I'd probably go up to her and say she has great tastes in clothing. I could never really understand why so many women get upset by that. Men don't if some guy is in the same suit as him, so why should women get upset if another has the same or similar dress? To me that is silly.

correct! but sometimes, a girl needs to feel that she is unique, the only one, the special one.... and i'm not talking about clothes only. sometimes, it's all about pride and reputation, something we, women alone can empathize with.

It depends on the party situation. If it is prom or homecoming, you really can't go home and change your dress, makeup, and shoes. That situation happened to me homecoming freshmen year, and it occurred to the majority of the girls from my school at prom. I did more than grin and bear it. I walked around the room as if my dress was completely unique. No one really noticed because I carried myself with confidence. I guess if it's a smaller party, then you can make sure to bring a change of clothes to the party. Or you could have a guy friend go to the party ahead of you, and have him call you to tell you the outfits that he sees to avoid the incident totally.

yeah, you're right. identical dresses are fairly common happenings in proms and there's really no need to home and change. for smaller parties, i'd rather grin and bear it coz it's cheaper than going home to change. lol!
