I bought this expensive dress for my first cousin's wedding and a second cousin is getting married .Could I wear that same dress to my second cousin's wedding even though the second cousin was invited to the first cousin's wedding and saw me wearing that same expensive dress and about 10 people who saw me wearing that dress before are invited to the wedding?

The two wedding are one whole year apart from each other.

Just change up the dress with accessories and a different colored wrap or sash. Maybe different shoes too. How close are the weddings? I doubt the bride will even remember what you wore or didn't wear. If you are fine being in personal photographs wearing the same dress, go for it. I usually try to space out outfits a bit for pictures, but I think if you take the dress and make it into a different outfit you will be fine. By outfit I mean the entire presentation including shoes and accessories, not actually altering the dress.

If they were a week apart I might not do it. I agree that changing the accessories and your hair will do a lot. How about adding something like a scarf or a shawl around your arms to change the look?
If the weddings are a month or more away from each other and you're not in any of the formal pictures for both then go for it! I bet you look great and when else are you going to get a chance to wear the dress.
Besides if anyone mentions, "didn't you wear that dress to so and so's wedding?" Just say "yes, isn't it terrific, I thought it was such a great dress to wear to a celebration!" Then comment how great the bride, cake or food is and change the subject, no one will give it a second thought.

Wear It The wedding is NOT about you , It's about thr Brides , or at least it shoiuld be
I take it you are only attending as a guest and not as a Bridesmaid ?
IF you were going to be a Bridesmaid well that is a whole different matter
Add a few accesories to the Dress so that it looks a bit different & IF anyone spots it, like a guy and you fancy him , say "Yes it is last years dress, Isn't that last years suit that YOU are wearing ? " The chances are that it WILL be ,guys don't update their clothes anywear near what us girls/women do .

Do you look great in it, and more importantly, feel good in it? Then by all means, wear it! We're not movie stars who will be embarrassed if they wear the same gown for the 2008 Oscars that they wore for the 2007 Oscars; we're real people who actually have to buy their clothes. I doubt anyone will even notice that you are wearing the same dress. If you want to make sure the pictures look different, wear an up-do if you wore your hair down last time (or vice versa), and maybe get a different color wrap or pashmina.

Yeah, you can wear it again. There is no rule saying you have to have a new dress just because you are a guest at a wedding. Its not like you are part of the wedding.

I wore the same dress to THREE weddings (two of them were with the same date!!!). They were a bit apart so, it didn't matter. I LOOKED GOOD IN IT! That's all I cared about.
All night people complimented my dress and my date and I (who I had taken to the other wedding) joked about it! It was GREAT fun! And, I'd wear it again in a heartbeat! :)
So, go for it! You love it, it loves you, wear it and flaunt it! :D

I've worn the same dress to more than one wedding. Who cares if anyone has seen you in the dress? Wear it if you like it and it's appropriate! Also, if you spent a lot of money on it, of course you should get more than one wear out of it. It's totally fine.

Of course! What matters is that YOU feel great and look wonderful in the outfit!
We had a full roster of weddings to go to, and a few other occasions, within a three year period. I spent some big bucks on a fancy outfit (jacket, top, pants, skirt) that I could mix and match - and most family was at most of the events. Actually, I'm sure if I asked them, they would not have even remembered what I wore!

Go ahead and wear it again.
There is NO rule that says you cannot wear the same dress to two different weddings.

You would have to be quite vain to think it's shameful to be seen in the same dress. Make it worth having spent all that money and wear it again.
