Are there sentences where you can use both nouvelle and neuve?

In an example: Ma mère m'a acheté une robe ________.

Can't you use either nouvelle or neuve?

Hi Vanessa,

You could say for instance -

Ma nouvelle voiture est une voiture neuve = My new car is a brand new one

but I can't think of many examples when you would use both in the same sentence .

In the case of your example

It has to be 'neuve' as it comes after the noun.

Hope this helps!
