Dresses I Don't Wear and Why

[@mj7493]

My big tip for keeping clothes for sentimental reasons is putting them somewhere different from the clothes you actually wear, because they serve a different purpose. Keep them with your other sentimental items and you'll maybe feel better about keeping them.

[@ForestCreature7]

Yesssss I have memory boxes for specific time periods of my life nd in most of them r also clothing items:)

[@julietteferrars3097]

Yes!

[@kerriemckinstry-jett8625]

My wedding dress is in one of those preservation boxes. 😊 That might be an option for some items.

[@GymGirl88]

Hard agree! You should definitely keep the cape!

[@larouxvixen]

Absolutely, keep the cape!!!!

[@maddieev]

Jessica, if you have dresses that are a little too big but that you still love, you should take them to a tailor and have them altered to fit you! The pink bridesmaid's dress especially, that one was such a pretty cut and color on you and just needs to be taken in a little!

[@irradiated_woman8016]

Yes! I was thinking the same! It's often much more affordable than people think! ...Which reminds me that I too need to get some stuff tailored that I have been putting off for months :D

[@courtneybermack]

The place I buy my dresses, it is cheaper to buy new ones than to get them tailored... but they don't have repeats on fabric... and I have a *lot* of dresses with linings and everything... So I am learning to sew. I will fix them! I will resize them! I will replace zippers! I have already retrieved one dress from the retired pile!! I HAVE THE POWER MUAHAHA I do not recommend this for people who have more money than time, or whose clothes are scary spendy. def. go to a tailor.

[@krose6451]

Just one word of advice. If you are going to a new tailor and dont know anyone who's been to them to vouche, give them easy work on clothes you arent too attached to/arent too expensive to check they are reliable and do good work before you go handing them something precious/expensive/tricky.

[@mond5004]

My tailor retired and I didn't like his replacement. My solution was to learn how to use my sewing machine and start fitting my own clothes. But yes, a good tailor or seamstress can work wonders.

[@jennytony3535]

Came to say that too! It looks really nice and doesn't need huge alterations to fit

[@SomeplaceScary]

My friend kept accidentally drawing weirdos who wanted to tell her "Its so nice to see a girl who is modest!!" or some shit with her look, so i suggested "unnatural" color lipstick, and not a single one since she started wearing blue and grey lipsticks, lol.

[@ForestCreature7]

Omg I hope this works, this would be such a life hack :D

[@SomeplaceScary]

@@ForestCreature7 it's been a 100% success rate for her so far, lol. I hooked her up with some Electric blue that seems to be particularly effective.

[@berlineczka]

Visible piercing or tattoos work as well. I have a very feminine style (a lot of 1950s shapes, singed waist, some cottage core like Son de Flor or Voriagh), a curvy figure and a sweet baby face. I hated being taken for a conservative ninny way too often (when I have a PhD, I am progressive, I am outspoken, I am politically active and I have OPINIONS). Aged 38 I got some tattoos that are usually at least partially visible no matter what I wear. No one has mistaken me for a sweet bimbo since. I love my body art as is, but this is an additional bonus I never knew I will be getting.

[@dangerbirb4981]

Short hair works really well to keep weirdos away.

[@krose6451]

"Unnatural" hair color works as well. I just got the bottom few inches of my hair done in bright fuchsia and suddenly it didnt matter how "modestly" I dressed. All they cared about was judging the hair.

[@Valla84]

"Has never fit me, does not fit me now, and will never fit me in the future, and yet, I hang onto it." Less than 3 minutes in, and I already feel so called out/seen.

[@erynthepixie]

Omg same.

[@FaithSlays-c9d]

RIGHT?!

[@TheSightOfTheStars]

That stone colored dress might take dye really well!! It fits you so nicely, color isn't too terrible hard to change if it's a natural fiber!!!

[@caseygreyson4178]

Yes! I could totally see it in pink, blue, green, or purple!

[@SeleneF-t3l]

I had the same dye-it thought - maybe a dark color?

[@cuttwice3905]

@@SeleneF-t3l A royal blue or forest green?

[@kpwxx]

I was thinking that too! A green perhaps. It's son de flor so probably linen, so hopefully very doable!!

[@HOHNancy]

I was thinking of the same thing…dyeing the dress a different color would make a difference. 😊

[@Zillah82]

For the bride's maid dress, have it taken in to fit you. It's lovely. On the WWII cape, see if a museum wants it. Like the V&A. The stone colored linen dress can be easily dyed. Get rid of the sequins and the green sister wife dress.

[@krose6451]

Another option is to use it as decor. Have it on a nice hanger on a closet door (or even on a clear bit of wall) or on a dress form in the corner. Alot of the makers I follow will do that with things they made but dont wear often so they can be appreciated.

[@ninjakitteh9095]

It's ok to keep a few sentimental items. A wedding outfit, your grans cape... It makes sense (as long as the items don't take over an entire closet 😸)

[@katerrinah5442]

This! A few sentimental and irreplaceable items are OK to hang onto. Especially if it belonged to someone who has passed ❤

[@mickb.8925]

What I try to do, is keep my sentimental stuff separate from my other things. Obviously this doesn't always work when you have limited space, but yeah. Also, I think the bridesmaid dress is totally worth it to get taken in so it fits better!

[@resourcedragon]

You do need to keep your grandmother's cape. That's an heirloom.

[@pilarofstone]

the “montessori” dress fits you beautifully! maybe if you just don’t like the color it’s worth dyeing it?

[@abbyburns3127]

This one could be a great candidate for dyeing since it is such a pale, neutral colour!

[@bore-aliss]

I'd put it in the same category as the sequins dress: the effort to fix it is just too much (especially when she's got others that fit the same profile she already likes)

[@resourcedragon]

That sort of colour doesn't really suit me, either. My solution is to wear clothes in that colour with brightly coloured accessories.

[@ZoidburgIsGreat]

I wonder if you could dye the stained one a darker color? You'd likely have to bleach it first. The dress is gorgeous on you but unfortunately the stain is quite noticeable. Also green dress at the end is a no from me - the color is nice but it does nothing for your lovely figure.

[@gsharpist]

Definitely keep the WW2 cape, that is a family heirloom and a piece of history. I think you did a great job letting go of pieces that don’t work for your current style and comfort. Well done!

[@katerrinah5442]

On the Cape - keep it as a sentimental item, that's such a special piece that you can potentially pass down On the stone dress - you can dye it! Lots of fun! On anything that's too big but you adore - find a local seamstress who can do adjustments

[@ladyflimflam]

My clothing sort question to bypass ADHD thinking is “would I buy this today?” If the answer is no it needs to go away.

[@jennifers5560]

Great process!

[@ElizabethMidfordHatesCops]

If I did that, I wouldn't have half my t shirts. But mostly cuz I always convince myself not to buy t shirts I want.

[@eleanor4759]

I like that.

[@TheEuniceBurns1]

My second question after “Would I buy it today?” is “Would I pay full price for this?” YOUCH. :/ That’s usually the one that helps me most.

[@jenniferw392]

I usually ask myself if I’d buy it at a thrift store (since it’s already been washed and worn). If the answer is no, especially because it’s too worn out, then why am I keeping it in my wardrobe?!

[@bella-0064]

As someone who doesn’t wear dresses I clicked on this too fast.

[@lazylittledragon]

amazing news on the 'will anyone at a charity shop want it' thing first of all: yes, probably but also, i go to a lot of rock+metal festivals/alternative markets and a lot of the time they'll have an oxfam or other secondhand clothing stall there, where someone has gone through and picked out ALL the alt clothes, including a lot of 50s style dresses for the pinup/rockabilly crowd. so if you donated anything i promise it would go to a good home!

[@IceBlueCrystalShadow]

I always kept things to “grow into” but now that I have gained weight I realized most still don’t fit because bodies don’t gain weight perfectly evenly

[@alibinprogress]

I personally love the cape from WW2 and the bridesmaid dress! I agree that you could get the bigger dresses tailored to you. The cape I would keep for sentimental and historical reasons plus you have kept it in great condition!

[@litha1973]

I agree, I love the cape so much. I think I'll make one for myself ❤

[@chelsear2551]

When you said, "I just need it to be a slightly different colour." Thats so relatable!! Sometimes my ADHD also tells me I should adjust a clothing item that I actually need go say goodbye to. I think that if you put it in the get rid of pile you know yourself, your style, ans how you feel in it better than any of us can. You can have a tailor dye or adjust things id you think youll miss them but its also valid to trust that they'll find a home with the right someone when you donate them.

[@mariewooszynkramer4897]

For those of you that have stained vintage/delicate clothing, I was recommended lemon soap by a vintage store and it works magic! Stains that have been washed many times over and it still gets to them! (And if that doesn’t work, I’ll do sashiko over it 😅)

[@LizTiddington]

I need that soap! What's the specific brand (or is 'vintage store' specific rather than generic?)

[@catastrophicbleus]

No okay but I'm in love with that WWII cape Now that I've finished: Still love the cape, you look great in the "Montessori guide" dress and I think it would probably feel more like you with accessories, I would put the bridesmaid dress (and other sentimental clothes) in storage if you can, and you do indeed look like you have a dozen kids and even more siblings in the last dress (and quite Conservative™ somehow)

[@josiee1120]

I do this thing every year or every season, depending on my mood, where I flip all my hangers in my closet backward. Whatever hangers are still backwards at the end of the year, that items gets donated. Obviously I keep a few things for fancy occasions and funerals that I don’t wear every year, but it has helped me cut down on things I don’t wear!

[@IrisGlowingBlue]

I try to do a clothes relocation every season or so too, but I can never remember what I wear or not 🥲 That's a good idea!

[@200Misaki002]

I feel like the white Christmasy dress would be okay to wear under a cape. That way you don't have to try and fin anything over it and you can be warm.

[@geswhiz]

I wonder whether you could find long gloves or gardening-type sleeves that would help. I really don’t care for 3/4 sleeves, even without thick cuffs. I guess my hands and forearms get cold first. But it sure looks fantastic on you.

[@akwass2856]

A fashion video! Finally, ive missed those!

[@jessicaoutofthecloset]

Yaaaay!

[@krose6451]

Same!

[@MullingInk]

Definitely feeling a cape or shawl for that fur trimmed white dress, if you’re sad about letting it go. Also so many of the too-light dresses would dye beautifully-they even make dyes for artificial fibers now, if they are. Ones like the fur trimmed dress, you can take the fur trim off to dye, and then get it stitched back on after dyeing and washing it in a mordant/with dye catchers. I’d be tempted to take the collar off the brown dress if your son’s teacher doesn’t like it, and use it as an accessory on other outfits. Very vintage! Some of the dresses with stained skirts could have the bodice taken off and be used as a top or light jacket, and some of the under-skirts of the dresses you were getting rid of would make pretty petticoats! I feel like there’s no saving the pink sequin dress and the green cottagecore one for you, absolutely send them to a new home!

[@sunshinesideofdarkside]

I know theyre probably gone but the natural fiber dresses you could have dyed to your liking. I had fun watching this. ❤❤❤

[@elspethfougere9683]

I was thinking that too... A mushroom pink would be an easy one in palette for some of those, softer but still matchy.. or a warm brown auburn?

[@ulytia]

For that stained dress - often an oil or dye inconsistency will look that way! First try putting liquid dish soap on the stains, let it dry for a week then wash the like normal. If that doesn't do it try a mild clothing dye in a similar hue! It's really not very hard to dye clothes, and it may help with that Montessori guide one as well 😊

[@anonymousperson4214]

This video has a special place in my heart because I've recently come to the conclusion that I am just not comfortable in dresses (gender reasons) and yet I've been struggling to get rid of the last few because I really like them. I just can't stand wearing them

[@TT-_-]

Have them made into blouses? 👗✂️👕 The skirt part could be turned to trousers, too😊

[@bricksloth6920]

And hope this doesn't complicate things with your garment purging, but if you love everything but the color, take it to a dress shop or a dressmaker and have them dye it for you. (Or attempt to do it yourself if you don't care if it's ruined.)

[@irradiated_woman8016]

I bought my favorite flannel in middle school and still wear it all the time at almost 30... two types of lesbians :D I loveeee your wardrobe. Maybe you will even inspire me to _finally_ take my donate piles to the secondhand shop.

[@Hamster7678]

As somebody who's been the same dress size since age 12. i feel this. so much. its so hard to throw things away when they fit.

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

Same! A decent portion of my wardrobe traces back to when I was in junior high. Luckily my tastes haven't changed much so a lot of it still gets worn

[@cherylrosbak4092]

I was the same way until menopause and I still have a hard time getting rid of my favourites even though they'll never fit again.

[@baguettegott3409]

You think it's _easier_ to throw them away when they don't fit anymore because you gained weight and throwing them away would mean accepting that this is just what your body looks like now and it will never get better and everybody will forever find you disgusting and nobody will ever love you? Skinny people, I swear to god...

[@a_typical_hipster6206]

If it feels good on the body you gotta keep it! I've dyed so many pieces to bring more life to them but also neutrals can be accessorized with so many shawls, scarves, etc.

[@cassandraknight8804]

Yes, I do that with scarves

[@bricksloth6920]

I don't wear dresses but yeah I'm here. I like to look at the fabric patterns and things. Basically the less useful a topic is to me, the more I engage.

[@emmafoley8987]

Between this and Hannah Louise Poston's Epic Pants Declutter, I had a lovely evening of mending and hearing about clothes. Thank you, Jessica and team!

[@JustSaralius]

I think a lot of these dresses could work great for you with alterations, like taking in a few seams, adding a lining etc. but I totally understand if that is too much ADHD/energy-wise. Even if you're not doing the alterations yourself, it takes planning and energy to go to a seamstress/tailor and doing potential fittings and then picking the garment up later. But if you do feel like it is manageable you could maybe see if there is someone close-by who could do the work in future? Could even be potential VLOG material. 😉 Just thought I'd put it out there as most of us don't think of doing alterations as an option. 😅

[@LatinaCreamQueen]

OMG that WW2 one is AMAZING. As a gal who loves surplus, I NEED THAT SO BADLY!!!

[@zaideee.3691]

[@kristine9823]

As someone who is still trying to clear stuff out since 2020, one thing I've been told by multiple workers in charity/thrift shops, if you're not sure if it's okay enough to be donated, donate it, they have to go through everything anyway and if it doesn't meet their standards they'll toss it.

[@cassandraknight8804]

I agree, let them make the decision, industries buy rags from charity shops also

[@tweetthang96]

Please, PLEASE say you kept your grandmother’s nursing cape!!! That is such a lovely item to keep and preserve and hand down, even if not commonly worn.

[@gypsydonovan]

Take photos of anything you love! It’s helped me SO much. I also keep an album called “sentimental” so I can easily find an item if I need it. I’ve been doing this to let go emotionally & declutter for 20 years and I’ve not yet needed to find something in the sentimental album but knowing it’s there is comforting . And, of course, I donate rather than throw away. BUT if I were a KZbinr famous for her fashion, I’d work with a charity or auction them myself to earn money for a good cause. I think a lot of people would pay to have pieces that belonged to Jessica, or just the items.

[@maitesoto1953]

Yes to more beauty and fashion content!

Jessica I hear you about the belt thing. But also, I gotta tell you, metal coil belts. They were a thing in the last decade that I used so often and they were endlessly comfortable. Never too big or small, always fitting just right

[@flyingpigfarm1]

You have quite a distinctive style, and I think your discards were right on the money. I also have a certain style I enjoy, but as a plus-size hourglass figure woman, trying to find that style is just about impossible. But, since I sew, I’ve been building up my wardrobe over the years with things I absolutely LOVE, fit me like a glove, AND, since I made them, if they suffer a mishap I usually have some original fabric scraps around for repairs! Love the fashion videos!

I try to be easy going on myself and let myself keep things if getting rid of it makes me feel upset even if it doesn't fit/I won't wear it as I can usually adjust to parting with it after a few more rounds of clothing purging lol

[@TheEuniceBurns1]

YES. I anthropomorphise clothes completely! They become characters in my life.

[@cheerijessie]

The whole "I don't need this, but I don't know what to do with it, so I'll keep it" is intensely relatable, doesn't help that I also get sentimental attachments to all my stuff. We have overlapping taste in dresses so even the stuff you don't want is still cool, IMO

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]

The only dress I didn’t like for you was that last one. I’d keep the cape from your grandmother for sentimental reasons. I totally think all of the ones you give to a charity shop would make someone else happy! And I love the process of going through and choosing what to get rid of *without* deciding what to do with it at the same time!

[@Draggonny]

The last one looked cute when she pulled in the waist. It was ruining her figure because it's too large and makes her look boxy. The shirring at the back is supposed to make it fit like a glove but it was doing nothing. Many of these dresses could be saved by a good seamstress doing some adjustments. Jessica has a lovely figure but her hourglass is more dramatic than most women of her clothing size can hope for. She is far from the "average" that clothing patterns are designed for. Between her height and her curves she is never going to be an off-the-rack girly. Custom fit all the way.

[@glomontero6011]

[@ladyflimflam]

I'd try dying the Montessori dress from stone to a color you like more if it really bothers you, depending on fiber. Similarly with the pink stained dress youll never find again i would try putting an applique on, or cutting the skirt short and adding a contrast border to get it back to the same length, something like that. However, i know you may not be able to or gave someone else able to fo those things- im lucky in that i know how to sew and can do it for hours at a time without feeling too badly.

[@BlinkPopShift]

Dye the Montessori dress!

[@LittleKaori]

A friend of mine runs a transgender clothing swap/pickup once a month and I now have a bin at the bottom of my wardrobe where, every time a clothing item just feels way off or I feel like it's no longer my style, I pop it into that bin. Once it's full, I reexamine it and then I usually find I never missed those items. And then they go towards people who can't shop, don't have the budget or want to try things out. They are always looking for nicer, newer pieces instead of the really pilled worn out ones so I am happy the clothes get a better life. Highly reccomend finding a similair charity near you for leftover clothing!

[@poppy8702]

[@callabeth258]

As a fellow neurodivergent DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THE SEQUIN DRESS embrace it and wear it as is or donate. There’s too many sequins to just take them off because the threads will be poking out everywhere and it would take forever (especially if your hands aren’t great mobility wise) to sew on new sequins in an appropriate colour to cover the threads.

For the stained pink dress, since you like it very much, you could have a seamstress replace the hem for you. It's not a big job if you find a good fabric for it, and it would give another life to your beloved item.

This was so relatable as a chronically ill, probable ADHDer with too many dresses 😂 Also, not to simp for a company, but Hellofresh has seriously changed my life. I used to struggle massively with what to eat and could never make fresh food because it would inevitably go to waste when I forgot about it (and I'd either eat nothing or eat stuff that wasn't great for my stomach issues). I thought I wouldn't like it because I'm pretty fussy and sensitive to sensory things but I've quickly found a lot of recipes I do enjoy. I wouldn't say meal kit subscriptions are ideal/practical for everyone but if anyone struggles with the same things as me and has the means to get it I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

[@tiredgoblinboi]

The stained dresses you can dye at home and mask the stains by turning the garment a darker color

I love the linen ivory dress. You can dye it another color. The pink sequin dress has a variety of pinks but the cut and flow are lovely. I agree with altering the pretty bridesmaid dress.

This video's whole vibe 😂😂❤ it's so meee hahah. Sis I don't know how to tell you this but I think you may have full blown OCD instead of "some slight OCD tendencies" 😂 Not trying to seriously diagnose someone over the internet but I know an OCD girlie when I see one (I've been going to therapy for it since I was 10 hah). I feel youu and I felt so seen watching this video, it was delightful! 💞

I love that! "We love you, Thank you for your service, letting go now"

Yes, can't wait to watch! Always here for a Jessica fashion vid.

When you pulled out the wardrobe hanger rod, it reminded me of the fancy closet that Kurt Russell built for Goldie Hawn in Overboard.

All she needs is the moving shoe rack!

I too have been hoarding clothes I never wear for decades (don’t fit, worn beyond repair, don’t like) and you just inspired me to go up to my attic and under my bed and sort out probably 70% as discards finally - thank you!!!

The white dress with the fur trim is so beautiful

[@deniseeuphemia]

So many of the dresses you’re parting with I’d love. Especially that white Christmas one. Getting married next year and it’s a struggle here in Canada to find vintage wedding dresses.

This is a great video! ❤ The white Christmas dress looks good on you. Some of your reactions and comments about some of the dresses made me laugh. 😂

[@marshall3973]

Gurl that bridesmade dress is so pretty on you, you should keep it and wear it 🥺 definitely worth geting tailored if you dont love the fit

[@ladyicondraco]

The white dress with fur was my favorite! I really hope that someone finds it and loves it!

[@Sonja_Hopeful]

Your intro discussing how hard it is to get rid of stuff was so relatable. I still have so much stuff I want to get rid rid of but I want to get rid of it in the most ethical way but I also don't know how to figure out what's the most ethical way without getting overwhelmed.

My mum's tip for stain removal especially for oily stains is to use eucalyptus oil. The clear oil of the eucalyptus lifts the coloured oil of the stain.

[@Dornbuschhexe]

Wonderful, that was the most entertaining half hour I've spent in the last few weeks.

[@cynicallemonade1792]

You always make me laugh. Thanks for the great video. Goodluck on your style journey 😅

[@scilines]

Fun! Love your commentary on each one 😊

[@bloodorange9]

I've been watching your videos for years and this is, quite surprisingly, my favourite one! So whimsical one has to love it.
