If you are talking about affluent yidden who take their kids on to luxury hotels for the yom tovim, have no problem paying their yeshiva tuition and do their routine shopping at Pomegrante, than of course, we don’t c’v want such a baas melech to feel “uncomfortable” by wearing the same dress to both Suralah’s chassanah and then a few months later to Feige’s chassanah. However, for the larger percentage of the frum tzibur struggling to pay the bills from month to month, they would be much better off dealing with their daughter’s “discomfort” than digging themselves further into a financial hole or paying tuition late or whatever, in order to purchase a dress for a simcha that is unlikely to have future utillity.
