This is the case for someone I know. One of her friends had a beautiful wedding dress that she didn’t want to go to waste, so she just gifted it to her as an early wedding present. After her wedding, she did the same, passing it on. No telling where that dress is now, but I like to imagine it’s still traveling the world, one wedding at a time. Also, both this woman and her friend have been married to their respective partners for over a decade, so I assume it’s at least going adequately, if not well.
Dress of Theseus is now one of my new favorite tropes. Thank you.
Also, I did not know wedding dresses sometimes have sequins. When you mentioned them, I imagined something like a cabaret dress. Much to my dismay, I discovered that they’re tastefully done when I looked it up. Still, if you get invited to a wedding with an outrageously sequined dress, see if you can get me on the list.
I imagine that there are a lot of cases where women would sell their wedding dress without being divorced.

If each time they shorten a bit here, add more sequins there, is it still the same dress (of theseus)?

Without being divorced… yet!
