Use the invitation wording together with venue, ceremony time, weather, and cultural context. Ask the hosts when the signals conflict rather than guessing.

## Use a simple test

Start with the garment's label and the conditions in which you will actually wear it. Check fit, movement, care needs, weather, and what is already in your wardrobe. Change one factor at a time so the result is clear.

## Before you commit

* Read fiber and care labels.
* Try the garment with two pieces you own.
* Check comfort while walking and sitting.
* Estimate how often the item will be worn.
