Autumn Reset 🍁 declutter my wardrobe and cottage with me 🍁

[@sandrahughes9050]

Clothes sizing has changed dramatically over the years. When I was young a size 14 was a 26 inch waist and now it is 30 inches. When shopping in charity shops you have to remember this as it can be disheartening when it is really just old sizing. You look amazing in whatever you wear. You are a very beautiful woman with the most amazing smile.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

This is SUCH an important point! It’s why vintage jeans sizes are so much smaller!

[@darlenemahaney1258]

This is very much true in US sizing. I currently am wearing from size 4 to size 12 in jeans; also wear 28 in traditional Jean sizing like Levi's for women, but 32 in men's. I'm 62 so have jeans from 1980s-present. As a girl in the 1970s, the smallest pants you could find for women was size 4-6. Now its 00!

[@jemmabarlas8176]

Having a non alcoholic option available is also great for hosting! Some guests may be expecting, or have a history of addiction, or simply not want to drink that day. So it’s always great to have an option to available for them 🤗

[@myriam8190]

Also, some people just don’t drink alcohol! 😊

[@claireangier3322]

Roxy was making me chuckle, I love the way pets like to be included in what we do. ❤🐶🐶❤ Yes I need these vlogs to get me motivated to declutter too!

[@audreysutherland4739]

Maddie, given the damp in your wardrobe and house, please air (dry) all the clothes you are planning to store by hanging on your kitchen pulley for a few days. Otherwise they will get mildew in storage. I’m afraid it is part and parcel of living in an old house. Also don’t cram your wardrobes full, allow air to circulate by leaving doors open for hours at a time and buy a good quality dehumidifier (one over £200) and run every week for a few hours in all your upstairs rooms. It definitely makes a difference and you will be amazed at the amount of water it will extract from the air, carpets and walls.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

We do all of this already! We take it really seriously haha we have three dehumidifiers and usually leave the wardrobes open xx

[@lottieisthequarry]

​@@MadeleineOliviayes, old damp houses suck, my winter coats get mouldy no matter how well I dry them before leaving for summer and they're not in a wardrobe. So difficult, amd stored clothing always smells musty,

[@barbarakendall5184]

I'm always amazed at how many clothes people have and hardly wear any of them.

[@16demolka]

I had one 75 cm pax and drawer under my bed for all my clothes and in the new apartment I won’t have any more so watching KZbinrs closets always shows me how minimalistic I am without even trying 😂

[@TheRayjane]

🐶. Maddie love your videos. Your home is beautiful. I could listen to you speak all day… the British accent is everything ! Red and burgundy are your colors… very flattering to your dark hair and porcelain skin ❤

[@gwenhunter8454]

It’s best to get your wedding dress professionally cleaned and the store it in a box with acid free tissue paper

[@GrahamandMatthew]

Looking for this -- some drycleaners offer special wedding dress treatment including wooden boxes or special packaging to preserve them for decades.

[@missn.35]

Rather than pay 160 pounds I washed mine in the bath with vanish (for silk) and the stains fell out and it smelled great, clean as a whistle. But that was Mikado so depends on how many details etc. Definitely wash it yourself if plain mikado/silk!

[@Purstiltski7]

Love the music you've been using lately. So relaxing and beautiful.

[@marygiacobetti4678]

Your home is beautiful and you're doing great. You are so organized. Right now, I'm drowning in projects that need to be done. Hopefully, I'll get them done one at a time. Give your doggie a hug 💗 and enjoy.

[@sarahholbrow8203]

I destroyed my wedding dress on a heather fell. Again photos are amazing! I made it and at the time I was so sad that it was ruined, but there was enough of the fabric left to make my daughter's christening dress, which is actually much easier to store lol

[@tenonderr]

I love decluttering wardrobe videos like this! Really enjoyed it

[@chepas05]

Hey Maddy, as someone who has only just realised this about myself, I’d recommend looking into ADHD for women. I know it’s everywhere atm but honestly you remind me of me. It has been pretty bizarre figuring it out and reframing my anxiety and depression around my ADHD but honestly life changing and in a good way. I’ve begun to finally accept that my brain doesn’t work typically and I had so much internalised shame and negative self talk because of it. ❤

[@MadeleineOlivia]

I have just been referred by my doctor so hoping to have an assessment soon xx

[@amiestepp5270]

@@MadeleineOlivia I had wondered the same! I have AuDHD and a lot of your experience resonates with me: preferences for same-foods, hyperfixations, executive function challenges, sensory processing challenges, burn out, etc. I was diagnosed in my 30's. Receiving the news was so freeing. I am so much gentler with myself now.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

It’s been very helpful for me and validating that so many of you have shared your experiences with me and seen similar traits. I get comments, messages and emails all the time about it and have done since I started my channel. It’s down to my followers consistent comments about it that I actually finally spoke to my doctor!

[@16demolka]

@@MadeleineOlivia I hope the assessment will give you answers to your problems and relief (whatever the diagnosis is)!

[@amiestepp5270]

The diagnostic process for women can be a bit of a slog. Hang in there!

[@sandrakilburn]

I’ve finally got round to sorting out my wardrobes and have donated a lot of clothes to my local charity shop, inspired by you.

[@belle281092]

🐕I love the shot of Roxie and Alex watching you clean out the drinks cabinet. I can't get any thing done in my house without an audience, either

[@shivanijenevive]

That was really fun and relaxing. Thanks for bringing us along! I was so excited to see your corduroy dresses come out of storage! Like, the signal of a new season!

[@shelleywells7366]

I just wanted to say how uplifting and reassuring I find your content. I starting watching during vlogmas last year and I can honestly say that I really love all your videos- especially all the lovely home content and the gaining the weight back series. Thank you for being so lovely! ❤ x

So nice to watch a declutter vlog, motivates me to do some! Does make you feel so much better after doesn’t it ❤🐶🐕

[@fayedanthony4783]

I always love your contentThank you❤❤ PS Congrats to you and your sister!

[@fshbulb1]

I too have recently been embracing the looser fit/boyfriend jean, they're just more comfy and also have deeper pockets which is great as I'm not much of a bag wearer. Clothing sizes are just arbitrary, whatever fits and makes you feel comfortable is the most important. 🐕 🐕 🐕

[@MadeleineOlivia]

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@stephy241990]

The dress brands you both mentioned in this video. Whooaaah ♥️♥️ Stunning! 🐶

[@LittleKagsx]

🐶 You could create some fabulous cocktails/mocktails to use it up - I think that would be fun with family and friends. 🍸🍹🥂

[@katyss9128]

It would be great if you could show us what you’ve actually decluttered and how you’re disposing of it, ie charity shops, recycling, clothes swap etc.

[@shopcookeatwi]

🐶 Loved the video. Your seasonal videos where you change out clothes and decor are so COZY. Thank you ! 🐶

[@ls-qm1oi]

You could make some sloe or blackberry gin for Christmas gifts to use up your extra bottles xx

[@Fashn4LaDieS]

That Royal Blue sweater/jumper is to die for! Keep. It's like watching Mary Poppins pull everything out of her carpet bag, watching U pull all those thick coats out of that skinny, middle, wardrobe door. I'm glad U have so many coats, since it gets crackling cold, in the UK. My son got married there in Sept., & the winds are icy!

[@rachael4682]

I’m learning to embrace my bigger size body it’s a learning curve I’m wearing stuff I wouldn’t normally and I’m liking it I need more confidence in myself and body We are going London in December also the red coat is gorgeous x

Happy autumn 🍂 🐶

[@KarenPiggott]

🐶 Lovely declutter vlog Maddie. Love the jeans & jumper combo, colours really suit you. The red coat is adorable, Little Red Riding Hood vibes ❤ I find it difficult keeping alcohol in the house as I know it’s there and want it so I tend to buy it as and when . Best wishes Karen 🧡🍂🍁🤎

[@emscasabj]

perfect timing Maddie! Been meaning to do my wardrobe changeover and a declutter, so very much looking forward to watching this!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Good luck with the declutter ♥️

[@Natalie-ng5wt]

Also Maddie, there are wedding dress preservation services that can sort out all the stains and then preserve it in a box. I have yet to do this for my own wedding dress (over 4 years later 😬😬 ). Another disorganised person here 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Ooooh I’ll look into this!

[@olgyone1195]

The reason you have mould is the fitted wardrobes probably not the pointing I have an old house that has double glazing which was not meant for the property , I have to put those little throw away de humidifiers in wardrobes drawers etc as I do get mould, even though we have bare floorboards and an open chimney, it's amazing how much water they collect . I had wardrobes built in but I would suggest if your changing them get freestanding ones.

[@mansoor3159]

[@catherinepittman7693]

Glad I’m not the only person who has still not got their wedding dress dry cleaned. I got married a week or so after you Madeleine, and similar to you it has grass stains and mud from the day. It has been sitting in the box in the back of the wardrobe ever since, and is a constant annoyance whenever I see it that I haven’t done anything about it in two years! Always a ‘next weekend…’ job. 😅

[@michelegeltat356]

The blue summer dress matches very well with the purple rose jumper. Also the alcohol could be split between kitchen and the garage. Weren’t you planning on drinks out there when you have movies or host? Your house really is looking well curated and gorgeous. I think I missed what’s happening with the former office space. You’ve painted the outside and then moved out. Waiting to renovate? Or waiting to renovate it until after repointing, guttering, and possibly stripping paint off the stone on the rest of the outer walls? Thank you for another inspiring video Maddie ❤️ 🦮🐶

[@veggielovinaccountant]

Although I live in Virginia in an area that is not particularly humid, I always make sure my clothes are clean prior to storing. Any food stains or dirt may attract insects, additional moisture causing mold, or mildew, which can, of course destroy fibers/fabrics.

[@cindymarszalek1827]

Hello Madeleine, I am new to your channel and I must say I have been enjoying it very much. I love the types of videos that you make;especially those about home improvement projects. Your home is beautiful! I live in Rhode Island USA but I thought you would find it interesting that we had a home in Maine USA in a beautiful small town called Cornish. We had many wonderful years there.

[@darlenemahaney1258]

Josie (Fashion Mumbler) washed her wedding gown by hand in her tub. It was a laborious process but better than a cleaner. It would be in a June or July 2023 vlog.

[@fsommers8084]

Make vanilla extract with the Spirits . ☆Then re-gift it ☆ 2-3 years , gets even better ! 🐾🐾🐕🐾🐾

[@Harasefuge]

Regarding the blue jumper - if you're on the fence then i'd say return it! If not, I feel every time you put in on you'll have that part of yourself saying it's not quite right. Once I get that feeling about something it's super hard to shake! It's a lovely colour, but maybe just not the right style/shape.

[@suzanneshirley6206]

🐶🐾 enjoyed another of your videos 😊

[@Fashn4LaDieS]

Full skirts are back, so that gray sequin dress with full skirt U made, will still rock the holidays. Vests & pleated plaid skirts are back, like Rory Gilmore, Harry Potter dark academia, silk scarves, brooches, piled on jewelry, chunky chains & earrings, leather, trench coats, Fall florals, shades of brown, olive, fringe, bows, long blazers, natural animal prints, & cashmere cardigans over lacy camisoles like Alaina Gilbert in Vampire diaries, & Bella in Twilight. All that's back, so don't toss it. A hot fudge colored thin cashmere sweater can layer under that pumpkin colored dress, & brown, fringe, suede, boots.

[@cathyblackhall5237]

What material is your wedding dress?Dont bother taking it to a dry cleaners as it costs a fortune and they don’t get rid of mud very well,I got married 35 years ago and I got a bit of mud on my train which the dry cleaners charged £25 then and the mud didn’t come out.20 years later my daughter was a carnival queen wearing wedding/prom dresses on a regular basis in all weathers.i got very good at cleaning and ironing them.Vanish and fairy are great.Wash in a bath or (machine if it’s big enough )Soak the hem first in cold water with fairy clothes washing liquid mixed in .Get a vanish soap bar and rub it onto the mud stains and very gently rub a nail brush into the bar and scrub the mud gently.Do this on the inside layers first to see how the material reacts.You can rinse out the mud and put fresh water etc in until most is off.Same method for fake tan marks .Mud is a biological stain so DO NOT USE HOT WATER AS IT SETS THE STAIN AS I DISCOVERED THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR🤣Sprays are fine but for bad marks or old stains the solid soap and nail brush is better.Once the bulk of the dirt is gone then you could wash the whole dress in the bath or in the machine on delicate.Make sure especially if there is beading/sequins to wash inside out and if the material is delicate ie.not thick satin or net then you can protect by washing it inside a clean white duvet cover.Hang the dress up to dry inside out.if you have net layers you can spray generously individually with spray starch and stretch the layers out with your hand to fluff them out and regain body but avoid near beading .

[@Fashn4LaDieS]

The "It colors this Fall are Maroon & concrete gray. Burgundy or red can substitute, so that red coat of yours is going to rock. Denim on denim is back, & a thin, black, green, teal, hot pink, or fuchia cashmere sweater can layer nicely under the turquoise dress, for a Winter tinge, otherwise, turquoise reminds people of Summer swimming pools.

[@Fashn4LaDieS]

Keep both of those Royal Blue sweaters. When U have kids, babies get diaper stains, & barf on your clothes, so U will need back ups. Things are getting more expensive these days to replace, & U will be glad U have them. A Hat stand saves space, allowing hats, scarves, umbrellas, & trench coats to hang on them, if the coat closet is full.

[@rosaleenpalmer9947]

🐕Great to have AF options to offer but maybe not quite that many….that cupboard was like the Narnia wardrobe!

[@snowwhite4946]

[@Susan-se6gq]

Lovely outfit.

[@Fashn4LaDieS]

The gingham dress can be layered with a thin black, or red, cashmere sweater under it, or thin knit cowl neck sweater under it, & petticoat under the skirt part, & boots for leg warmth. The dark gray dress can layer a Burgundy or Maroon, pine green, or Red thin cashmere sweater, or thin cowl neck sweater under it.

[@lorraineselby]

Don’t leave your perfume in direct sunlight. It shortens their shelf life. Best to keep in a drawer. I prefer a soft drink or an alcohol free gin and elderflower tonic. Do you drink squash or cordial. You could put your alcohol free drinks with them to remind you to drink them. You inspired me to do a declutter. I’ve been back to the local charity shop 3 times in the last week to drop off all sorts. 🙏🏼🦮

If your worry is mold in the close there is products most though contain charcoal this helps destroy mold spores and then you have baking soda that helps keep it dry by absorbing moisture ,place in a airy container or cedar blocks for oder control and bug like moth control. They sale different products on Amazon for different climate areas I'm told ,but I go straight to the original. Lol

Take the wedding dress to the dry cleaners & see if they can get out the stains, & yellowing with some vinegar solution. If not, take it to a tailor, to crop the train, & dye it another color, so it can be worn dancing, or to someone else's wedding. Don't toss it. It's not replaceable.

[@jackiehorwood1603]

Wait til after Halloween to toss any makeup. U never know what U might need. I don't get rid of any of my brushes for makeup, b/c they get gummy after awhile, & need to be replaced, & sometimes the bristle head falls off the handle.

[@KiraHelenRose]

Maddie, Are the walls in your home plaster over the stone? Or are they newer drywall? I was watching a video on HomeWorthy and the woman who was showing her historic home talked about needing to use limewash paint when painting the walls in old stone homes, otherwise there will be damp and mold issues. I know you said it is because the house needs repointing, but I’m wondering if perhaps it could also be due to the type of paint used on the walls.

[@williamhawthorne1375]

What and who sang the last song on video,it was lovely ,good job on the wardrobe and clearing ✊time to see to that dress now Maddie 😂Lizzie

[@sarahowick5456]

I would take the doors off your closets and store them until you sort the damp issue from the outside. Just have it open all the time.

Instead of everyone bringing over alcohol this year, let everyone know what you currently have and have them come up with drinks to use up the alcohol. Or as everyone leaves this year, have them take a bottle of something they'd like.
