We Check out Sooner than You Purchase: Easy methods to Reuse Your Marriage ceremony Outfits

Our We Try Before You Buy series aims to take the stress out of shopping, and at this time of year, the thing that requires the most thought is wedding guest dress shopping. If you're spending £200 something on a special dress, you don't just want to wear it for only one day. So I asked the Who What Wear team to show me how they'd wear a dress for a wedding and then on an ordinary day too. Keep scrolling to see how you can make even the most special evening dresses daytime-appropriate too.
