I try on VINTAGE Wedding Dresses from the thrift store

[@vickiross1025]

I love these dresses much more than what is worn today.

[@jacqueline8559]

So many of today's dresses are inappropriate for Church Weddings. Like negligees, they leave nothing to the imagination

[@nanci1]

Why is it that we love to look at wedding gowns no matter how old or how long we have been married! 🥰

[@Brassy49er]

Because I never got my dream dress!

[@Brassy49er]

The second dress is definitely a Princess Diana copy

[@lindapoplin4473]

Because of many reasons. One is ... They are , (if vintage and made right) , the most beautiful dress in the world. 😁💕

[@nancyinthegarden3160]

they’re beautiful and we don’t get to dress up

[@marlaholmes6706]

Right? Now I want to try on wedding and other fancy dresses just for the heck of it 😆

[@jackiep691]

They are all beautiful in there own way , makes me sad they end up being Halloween costumes, so much love and work put into creating them . Thanks for showing us x

[@ThundermansThunder]

I agree! Unless a wedding dress is just too far gone to save, it feels almost criminal to diminish them with alterations that will forever ruin them for their intended purpose. I can only speak from a man's point of view, of course, but for me, personally, there is something so special about these more modest gowns that evokes an aura of splendor and glory that the modern, more revealing dresses simply lack. Be they male or female, regardless of the designer or amount on the price tag, it only cheapens the wearer's appearance, when the body is overly revealed on public display for just anyone to see. I love that she is showing them, and hope that she will be an influence upon the younger generations to value these treasures when they find them!

[@denisemahoney232]

I made my daughters christening gown. It was beautiful.

Let me tell you Ladies ☝️I said “Yes” to Every one of those dresses 🤔🤣 I absolutely Loved 😍this video and am so Happy you guys decided to share these Beautiful dresses ❤Thank You 👏🛍️

[@judymcdermott3466]

Vintage gowns are modest, elegant and gorgeous. No weird cutouts or thigh high slits. Just elegance.

[@lingriffin6362]

I've seen the most beautiful wedding dresses in charity shops for under 100.00, no one would ever know they were second hand if you didn't tell them !! There are many ways to save money on a wedding 👌

[@annkupke4263]

My first wedding I bought at a consignment shop for $75. Then bought a halo flower veil.

[@nikkil764]

My niece used the skirt of her mother’s dress from the 70s with a new bodice. It was such a lovely tribute to her mom.

[@catherineferguson7646]

The second one has some Princess Diana looks to it. Those are some beautiful dresses. I think their too lovely for Halloween.

[@suemount6042]

Snap months apart but thought the same re Princess Diana

[@shariwebster]

I buy vintage wedding dresses all the time to dye and alter for theater costumes. They are so detailed and made well.

[@diannemarshall4078]

She is the perfect petite model looks like she is size 2 so everything looks lovely on her. The last dress was adorable.

[@thissideofthefirmament]

I appreciate the nice compliment, but I just happen to be this size, I can't put weight on and sometimes it scares or upsets me. I occasionally find peace to know something about decades past makes me feel more "normal" in the sense that there seemed to be small sized brides, although I do run across more average to today sized dresses too.

[@merricat3025]

She looked too skinny in many of them

[@e.j.s.9137]

These gowns are all beautiful and looked gorgeous on you. There's a market even today for that 1950's prom/cocktail dress!

[@loribull1730]

I too see these beautiful but outdated gowns in the thrift stores and feel sad that someone will wear it as a costume at Halloween. I often wonder who the special girl was that wore the dress and how she felt on her special day! Thanks for sharing!

[@nataschabowers8258]

My daughter bought wedding dress at a thrift store. It was beautiful and I can’t imagine what it would have cost brand new.

[@pamherman6363]

My daughter did the same thing. She looked it up online and saw that it sold for $2500 new. The dress didn’t require any alterations. It was a beautiful find.

[@annhaney8014]

What a fun day! That 1920's short dress looked great on you and fit you really well. Thanks for sharing this and yes, more videos like this would be great.

[@sooticablue1664]

I always feel so emotional when I see a pre-worn wedding dress. I get caught up in all the emotions the bride might have felt wearing it, always very poignant to me ❤

[@thissideofthefirmament]

🥲😍

[@risk5riskmks93]

I bought my satin wedding dress from the 1930s-40s at a thrift shop for about $40, and then I had it fitted. Beautiful long train, lovely lace around the bodice. I loved wearing a wedding dress from another time. I hope that the bride I share it with had as long and happy a married life as I am having.

[@JimmyHartline]

The first one you put on even though it probably needs cleaning looked amazing on you I have seen weddings where vintage clothing was worn.and it was gorgeous.

[@carolynmorris7303]

The vintage dresses are much nicer than the garbage they sell today.

[@Dcs.234]

Don’t forget they would have had boned or net underskirts under most of these dresses especially the 80s and it would change the whole look of them

[@snoopybluejeans]

One can also look at these dresses as recycling them for fabric only. That first one taken to a good dressmaker could of been made into something fantastic. Wedding dress fabric and laces are super expensive when bought new.

[@thissideofthefirmament]

I completely agree and think about this all the time. In fact my mom and I just bought huge panels of curtains yesterday because they have beautiful lace trim that can be attached to a jean jacket or extend the hem of a skirt or dress. Wedding dresses are incredible resources for materials, I am sad when they get dismantled though :( better than ending up in a landfill though.

[@snoopybluejeans]

@@thissideofthefirmament Don't feel bad. Better you give them another life in a different form. Some of these fabrics would make nice little feminine pillows, wedding ring pillow, add some of that lace, like you stated can be put on a variety of things. Also think nightwear. That one with pink redone and it would be nice as a pre wedding dress, to wear to a shower or a pre-wedding wedding dinner, lunch. That 20's style dress is fantastic, I would defiantly repurpose the fabric and lace and make a nice cocktail dress, even in that flapper style.Childrens wedding dresses ect. ect.

[@kaliflower9197]

Oh, that was fun! It felt like a day at a consignment shop with a girlfriend. More, please. Great job!

@@annesmith6582 Have you watched the video? These are vintage dresses. There's no way any of them are going to be vulgar.

The dress with the pink rosettes looks like a southern debutante coming out dress from the late 50s early 60s. Gorgeous and could probably tell a good story.

[@sandramadaris7814]

Wouldn't it be wondrerful if there was a thrift store that only specialized in wedding gowns and it was set up like a luxury store? Every bride deserves a special shopping experience at every price point. And have an alterationist on staff too!

[@rhonda8231]

They are so beautiful. It is so sad that people destroy them for Halloween. That first dress fit you so great, and looked so beautiful on you. You could totally have taken off the skirt and the waistband, and lifted it to tea length, got rid of the train, colored it, and it would make a beautiful dress. Actually all of them, my mind was going through ways to change them up to be wearable dresses. I bought my daughter a dress for her birthday, she wanted to dress up in an antique dress. I found one in Value Village that fit her perfectly, it was from the 1950's. She enjoyed it so much, got pictures in it.

[@lorriskelton1875]

My mother made my wedding dress in 1989 and it is very similar to the dress at 7:50 - big bow on the behind, too. Mine has a dropped waist and a platter collar, bodice and collar covered in candlelight lace, and the skirt is taffeta-like.

[@thissideofthefirmament]

I knew those Hiney bows were a thing in the 80/90s!

[@mariemcgillen7401]

The perfect model for all of those dresses. How fun.

[@jobee1]

I used to sell bridal gowns all through the 80s and 90s. It was fun to revisit some of the dresses. I’m sure I sold someone. The second dress I don’t think the thread was intentionally discolored. I think somebody probably spilled champagne on the dress, and the organza wouldn’t soak it up but the threads would and overtime, the sugar would cause staining.

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

Hey if i were a bride on a budget and that dress was my size i would buy it. The only alteration i would do is remaking the sleeves. Professionally cleaned and with the right accessories, it would be fabulous.

[@stanmiller9117]

Which one?

[@carinel.1333]

The first I guess

[@tracysmith9546]

I really enjoyed watching this, all these gowns were so beautiful. The 80's dresses really brought back memories.

[@sstarkey1695]

The first one is gorgeous except for that goldish random spots. #3 and four are stunning. #4 dyed in a soft beige or gray would be gorgeous as an evening dinner dress with a shawl and heels.

[@susangavaghan]

I liked the firs two dresses. I found a brand new white linen Monsoon dress suitable for a wedding some years ago in a thrift shop. It cost me £6. I was thrilled. I cannot understand why people pay hundreds of pounds for a dress they are only going to wear once when they could easily find something in a thrift store for a fraction of the price.

[@ElledieWildAndFree]

I paid £1400 for my wedding dress and accessories 38 years ago, they are now in a box in the attic. I look back now, and cringe when I think of what we could have done with that money

[@susangavaghan]

@@ElledieWildAndFree That was certainly a lot of money to spend on a wedding dress!

[@ElledieWildAndFree]

@@susangavaghan It was, I wouldn't do that now

[@susangavaghan]

@@ElledieWildAndFree I do believe expensive wedding dresses are a huge con. You now have the benefit of hindsight. I once read an article in a magazine showing 3 wedding budgets. One was something around £20,000, one was £5,000 and one was, would you believe, £50. The £50 budget included the dress from a thrift shop and the registrars fees. The reception was held in a garden and everyone was asked to bring a dish. The bride said she wanted to get married but didn't want to start her married life in debt. I thought this was a brilliant idea.

[@auntie44m]

Lovely. The first dress is the type I was selling when I worked in a bridal boutique in the 1980-90s here in Australia.

[@debm8470]

When brides dressed like princesses instead of like they were going to the bar. Very pretty

[@PaulaakaPaben]

My wedding dress is 53 years old in 8 more days, I still have it and it may have yellowed a little bit, but otherwise in perfect condition! I weighed 92 lbs at the time so only my young Great Granddaughters can fit in it!

[@JewelBlueIbanez]

They don’t come in your size

[@thissideofthefirmament]

Actually there are lots of sizes of dresses. Let me explain two ways I choose dresses to try on. 1) I try to pick dresses that are from lots of different eras or dresses that are unique from the standard modern dresses of current culture. 2)While there are dresses that are gorgeous and sometimes even vintage, some are a larger size than my body could properly showcase for others to see its beauty. Do not be dismayed! Just try and look, you might find something awesome! If not at a thrift store definitely check out Poshmark or eBay. There are excellent alternatives to going to a retail shop!

[@vikkimikkola5957]

Such fun! So beautiful dresses- especially the 50's pink one!

[@Tenebarum]

​@@thissideofthefirmamentit's best to choose a larger size so it can be tailored.

I couldn’t part with my wedding dress. I boxed it up correctly, put everything in there from our honeymoon. I just wish I could fit in it after 45years! I’d wear it around the house all day!💕

[@AffectionateFruitBowl-ri5uk]

There are groups who use wedding gowns to make gowns for still-born babies. It is such a beautiful gift to the heartbroken families.

[@lisab9541]

The lace "cowboy" dress is from 86 or 87 I think I remember from when I was selling wedding attire.

[@lisab9541]

The second dress could be colonial too. The first dress was enchanting.

[@geebrewer8186]

shame on that thrift store for not putting them out maybe in the spring, like April, so women short on cash can find a nice wedding dress for cheap. That first one, with a little pressing and updating (ie that tie in the back) was very pretty. And maybe with different shoes lol

When I downsized after my husband died, I went from 2300 sq. Ft to 917 sq. Ft. I ended up donating my beautiful wedding dress to my favorite thrift store. They took it out of the box a week later and a lady came in looking for anything but needed a gown for a second wedding. She tried it on and it fit perfectly. They sold it for $50.00. I was so happy someone got it for their happy day. Thanks for showing this. Dresses of today are horrible😊

[@thissideofthefirmament]

I love this story! Such a blessing that you got to know where it went and so generous of the thrift store to mark it an affordable price.

[@GradKat]

It’s a bit sweeping to say today’s dresses are “horrible”! Maybe have a more open-minded outlook?

[@thissideofthefirmament]

Beauty is in the person wearing the dress and that's the most important thing. A beautiful soul can pull off a potato sack. 💕 In the months leading up to making these videos last year we had been watching a lot of say yes to the dress because my brother got married last Fall. I think say yes to the dress is becoming so overrated and is mostly just there for dramatic back stories to waste your time. I often found that the brides going dress shopping would ask for bling or for a classic style etc yet the consultants would keep bringing the most standard modern normal dresses and if the bride didn't like any of those they pull out a $20k pinina torne (however you spell that name) which looks like lingerie or a bad Halloween costume that didn't flatter the brides body or make the family happy and the consultants would be like, "dont you love it" and the bride just buys it because she hasnt found anything else interesting so she goes with what costs the most. I don't think the brides are even fulfilled with modern day dress styles...so it's no judgment on the brides, it's truly a judgment on the style industry. We have the most tools and access to the most supplies ever yet the dresses are so underwhelming compared to the craftsmanship of the dresses I can find at the thrift store from years gone by. So this video was just an outlet for pent up say yes to the dress opinions id been forming for months prior. Yes I do sometimes see beautiful dresses. Even the simplest dress can be beautiful. And I have seen unfortunate dresses that aren't flattering and I feel bad that that was the best the bride could find.

[@carmeldoherty]

[@peachygal4153]

The home sewn pink and ivory prom dress, if you take off the huge ribbon flower corsage looking thing on the front, maybe update that with something smaller more in line with the pink rosebuds on the skirt, and give it a good steam, it would be good to go now. You see new gowns like that done with a vintage 50's look. I also think it would be nice a bridal gown for a small garden wedding or a reception dress for a larger wedding.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

I agree with the crowd on the second dress. With a few tweaks (including a dye job), that dress would be PERFECT for someone who participates in Civil War re-enactments.

My 12 year old Granddaughter found a dress she thinks she wants for her 13th birthday next year. She says she wants a formal birthday party when she turns 13. I told her that we will wait until a closer date because she will grow between now and then. We will be going to thrift stores to look for sure when the time comes. I've been going to thrift stores for over 40 years, they always have beautiful dresses. It's a shame to see them not being used. Those dresses looked so pretty.
