You NEEEEEEED to watch the Hallmark channel's "When Calls the Heart". You'll hate it but it will be so funny
@@savannahs8914 ohhhh that series is cringe personified :')
Nicely stated. Great video.
@@savannahs8914 Oh no that show is an atrocity haha.
Why did they have to destroy the ONE decent looking 80’s dress in existence
It was beautiful (ó﹏ò｡)
I'd buy it today. It wouldn't look out of place in a modern shop. Sleek and timeless.
I know right. When she said 80's I was expecting big puffed sleeves or something, but its actually really wearable.
For real tho. It was actually really pretty
It wasn't obvious 80's as people would say it today.
it was beautiful
It defeats the purpose of wearing your family's gown if your going to completely change it.
Ikr. Just buy a new dress at that point.
I never thought I'd see Butters the Bean in the comments of a Karolina Zebrowska video 🤠
Just get a replica made in your size. Preserve the original as an heirloom.
Disagree. My grandmothers dress had damage to the bodice but stunning fabric through the huge skirt. Made it into something else. The sentimental value is still there.
@@safyo2394 That's a little different since the dress was already damaged. I imagine you also got consent for a full reconstruction.
The first one was gorgeous. I think the mom's "is not the same dress" was actually an attempt at lying to herself to survive the emotional trauma on camera
I feel so bad for her 😞
Since a lot of the dress ended up in the train, I wonder if they could have someone recreate the old dress into a doll size. That way the mother could have her dress back in a way she could display while also destroying the monsteous that dared to use it so poorly.
I would have broke down crying the literally ruined it.
It was a beautiful gown before, but now it is SO ugly and lumpy
@@WallebyDamned there was a woman that made the news for making custom teddy bears. One she made used an actual wedding dress to make a bear wearing a replica of the dress and it was gorgeous.
“I don’t like the neckline, I want something sleek and sexy” then just get something sleek and sexy!!!
Exactly!!
Total support to all sex workers out there, but why anyone wants to dress like a $2 hooker on their wedding day is waaay beyond me.
Joanne Carroll hooker themed wedding. Strippers and gigolos galore
U can always look for something similar
Joanne Carroll having a sexy dress is not being a two quid hooker but go off i guess
Now I’m angry about something I didn’t even know was a problem 20 minutes ago
I feel you so much....
Same here!
I KNOW RIGHT ?
Same
Same
My mom recreated her grandmother’s dress (30s evening gown) rather than rework and alter the original. I think it’s the best thing to do. It fit my mom like a glove, was in the color she wanted etc etc originals still intact
yes! i'd never risk reworking a piece of history, especially because there's the chance to destroy it and fuck everything up, and its better to fuck up a replica than the original
👍🏻Absolutely.
Totally. A great way to give a nod to the history, add your own style, and preserve the original.
Thats literallly the ONLY appropriate way to go about it!
I think that's the best option, especially because you don't want to spend your wedding worried that some 60+ year old fabric is gonna shred like tissue paper.
A friend of mine work in the entertainment industry and told be about 1920's vintage pieces being tailored to fit a actress for a forgettable show. The lace across the back was destroyed when the actress had to open a bottle of champagne for a scene, and I just can't help but feel like it's more of a waste than a gain.
"it was the first purchase my husband made for me" hearing her said this and her reaction to the alterated dress is so damn heartbreaking, this poor woman just saw one of her most important posessions be ripped apart for nothing, i feel so bad for her...
I saw the episode, and the mother was so bent on recreating *her* glory days, it became all about her. She treated her daughter like a mannequin whose job was to fulfill the mother's dreams of being thin, young and beautiful again. As much as I hated to see them wreck the original gown (which was beautiful), it seemed like poetic justice for an overbearing mother who didn't seem to take her daughter's wishes into account.
I disliked the show Something Borrowed Something New, but I especially hated the episodes where it’s the mother’s dress and not several generation dress. The mothers that would say « I feel in love with that dress » angered me the most. You mean to say that you had the experience of trying dresses and falling in love with one and you are refusing the same to your daughter? And often the daughter don’t have the same shape as the mothers so the dress don’t fit the same, it’s outdated… And yes, destroying dress to the point it’s no longer recognizable instead of adjustments is another level of frustrating.
I know... At first I kinda disagree with Karolina because I thought that the bride could do whatever she wants if the dress is given to her, and that not everyone can display old dresses so it's better if it's remade rather than being kept somewhere without seeing the light of day. But after seeing that clip, it really does feel sad... That dress is so beautiful and elegant, to the point I actually want to wear that kind of dress in my wedding. I can't believe the woman who remade that dress can stand there like she didn't just make it look like a part of a Halloween costume :")
@@reghan7979 -- Her daughter didn't destroy the dress, the designer did--with permission from the mother. No one did anything "petty," least of all the daughter. The mother rolled the dice on the designer, and the designer failed. Not the daughter's fault, not done to spite the mother.
Here is the meaning of "poetic justice," BTW:
"An outcome in which vice is punished and virtue rewarded usually in a manner peculiarly or ironically appropriate."
reality tv exists to take advantage of people, don't sign up then you won't have any problems
*The mothers who are crying and having to pretend it's because they're so happy about it, when in fact a tiny piece of them just broke*
a big piece actually lol
You mean every mom?
I can feel it.
@@jessicawood421 Obviously every mom on *this* show. There are dyslexic people and dysnumeric or anumeric ones who can't figure, but obviously there are dyssewic ones who couldn't sew a straight seam to save their life and wouldn't recognize fabric pucker even if it reached up and tried to choke them. They all found a job at this show. It might even be intentional. A little bit of schadenfreude goes a long way.
* *Disinheritance intensifies* *
The remade dresses looked like you'd get them off Wish.
That is on point. Cheap looking garbage ideed.
Actually wish have better choices. Here Sssniperwolf reviews several. czcams.com/video/jmD_176dpLY/video.html
Dr B id watch it but her thumbnails remind me too much of 2016 and idontwannagobackthere
i read this comment before she got to the examples and i was like Surely they cant be that bad,, they are
😂😂😂😂😂
Woman: My job is to keep the integrity of the old dress.
Also the same woman: The entire old dress has been turned into the train for the new dress
if you like having the integrity of the dress on the floor, she did the job fine
if you wanted to have the integrity of the dress to be respected in any way, thats something else and youd need a different person entirely
this seems like a funny joke until you watch the rest of the vid 🥲
@@jewbearidk Life is not a museum and it’s always change and we don’t care live freedom and you’re born and will die empty handed 😊😅😂🎉
This makes me so happy that my mum was married in a saree. She is 5'1 and was incredibly skinny at the time, while I'm half a foot taller and athletic-curvy. The difference in our sizes makes no difference, the wedding saree fits however your aunties decide to safetypin it. 🤣
Are you from India ? I know it's a little ignorent of me to just guess but I'm Indian and I think Sarees are just amazing !
That's smart thinking 😂
@@xenonsketches2351 Most definitely yeah, sarees are worn in the Indian subcontinent or by the Indian diaspora.
You are so lucky. My grandmother turned my mom's wedding saree to be a Pishwas (I think broader India calls it an Anarkali, but it has many names). They thought the seventies style blouse and saree was too skimpy for America. My former mother-in-law's, which had real gold threads, burned in a fire, so I have neither to give my daughter. My ex is very tall, so I don't know that my daughter will fit either my American dress or Lengha.
My mom wouldn’t let me wear a saree and made me purchase a full lehenga. In any case, our clothes are probably the easiest to alter and change with minimal effect to design
The dresses after the remakes looked like they could be sold on Aliexpress or Wish
lol
even aliexpress has better wedding gowns than this
Yup. The worksmanship was Just. So. Bad. I have no idea what skills that woman used to get her spot on that show, but it sure as shit wasn't her skill with a needle.
@@MB-eh3js bj skills man
@@coronajewelry indeed, there are some for like 600€ that are actually very good.
The 80’s dress with that high neck was gorgeous. Was.
The mom looked like she was about to cry, and I honestly was too. They completely ruined it, and it was an absolute show stopping dress.
Yes, I bet they both wish they had just taken it to a dressmaker themselves for some minor adjustments, not gone on this show.
Like honestly, they probably just could have taken off the cap sleeves and it would have been PERFECT.
It was so beautiful. Like, why would you change that?!
i’m holding on to the theory that they’re two different dresses
Something borrowed something new is about a bad seamstress whom hates sentimental wedding dresses and wants to destroy them all, but legally, and watch people suffer with smiles on their faces due to a signed contract.
greetings guy named John Doe with a Technoblade profile picture. You have my respect.
goddamn.
I’m so sorry for the mother in the first dress episode. She said it had deep sentiment value to her, and now look how awful it is :/
If anything, they need to have the designer create some kind of drawing for the dress first before actually altering it. At least then they’d get a warning before the poor dress is ruined
Agreed. I think that is what hurt the most. The dress was so special to her and the hosts and 'seamstress' basically did a 'don't know, don't care' attitude and completely ruined it. They might as well spit in the mom and daughter's faces.
If it had been me I would of immediately stood up, accused them of destroying the dress and then marched out with the dress while planning to sue them. Then I would cry and take it to a real seamstress/tailor to see if they could fix it. It's just horrible.
Yeah I get they want to “shock” them but that’s too much. When she said it was the first thing her husband bought for her 😭 they definitely need to have a sketch beforehand off camera so there’s no pressure
If that dress was so important and special to her, then why did she offer it up to be used for the show...? That's what I don't understand.
@@thekingsdaughter4233 she probably was under the impression that these people wouldn't change much, just modernize it a bit, and the daughter was probably the one who convinced her. it's pretty clear they both had wildly different expectations :(
@@natashalawely2900 The biggest thing is just toning down the sleeves or maybe changing the neckline with different or softer lace. (I can't wear lace unless it's an overlay because it makes me itchy). It's a crying shame what they did to the dress.
It’s like taking a beautiful historic painting off the wall and painting over it because you wanted to use sentimental canvas. Like why?
Literally. Just get a new dress, they clearly didn't like the originals.
FOR REAL!!! this was most perfect comparison
It's basically like Mr. Bean drawing over that painting in the Bean Movie.
Or when people buy vintage furniture and paint over it, they always try to imitate the old worn out look or paint it gray. 😭
This is something they used to do in the victorian era! They would take very old paintings, where the face was obviously painted in a different style which they decided was ugly and they would paint over the faces to make them more 'fashionable'! In the end you would have a very beautiful painting stripped of its history. If you watch restoration videos like Baumgartner Restoration you can see the conservator strip back the overpainting and reveal the original face. It's very satisfying.
wft that first girl from the evil show honestly looks better in her mom orginal dress, also I cant stand poor mommy's face when she sees her dress completly destoyed and changed :((
I know... And the "new version" looks so cheap, OMG.
Marina Ramalho literally it looks like a Halloween costume!
yeah, that dress was beautiful
I am so mad!! . That dress with longer sleeves is something I totally wear. Hell, I even wear it like it is
It looked so much better before
I have this reaction when I walk into old houses that have been “remuddled.” If you don’t want to live in a 1920’s house, don’t buy one! They make bad 2020’s houses no matter how many walls you knock down!
I feel this as a Melbournian
I recently bought a house and toured quite a few 1920s houses that they tried to do that to. Why do they think everyone wants everything to be painted white?? You're taking all the warmth out of the room when you do that, and I want my home to feel cozy. We ended up with a 1930s house with all the original wood trim and it's gorgeous, wouldn't change a thing (except maybe the hodgepodge of decades that is the electrical wiring). The kitchen has definitely been updated by a previous owner so it looks modern and is almost certainly better for my needs as someone who cooks a lot, but they took care to choose a color and style that isn't horribly mismatched from the rest of the house and the floor appears to be the original hardwood. And who knows if they were updating from the original kitchen or some previous 1960s reno. Still, I'd love to have seen what it originally looked like!
Sometimes is understandable like some things are broken and need to be fixed and attended to but sometimes they just destroy the pretty things 🥺
@@harmonicaveronica It just breaks my historical fashion-decor spirit when thinking about all those gorgeous late 1800s to 1930s homes that have been destroyed 'in the name of progress.' It's my dream to live in one, and why tf would people 'remodel' into the same generic homes you could get for less? It's so much easier getting a 1980s or 1990s home than it is to tear apart history.
@@harmonicaveronica I don't like plain white walls, they looks so empty; green, purple, yellow, orange, blue, brown, wallpaper, wood paneling, or art all look better to me.
I had saved my grandma's gorgeous 1940s wedding gown and my moms Victorian style gown from the 70s and they were both destroyed in a fire. I was devastated. So seeing people destroying gowns on purpose hurts my soul! Wah!
Fires destroy so much! Every time I hear about something like old dresses, papers, books, and pictures being destroyed, it is always fire! People really need to keep important things in fire proof containers!
@@iamme2739 You see when we did the sensible thing, and made clothes out of asbes... Salamander skin. This was not a problem!
Fires and floods really destroy so much 😭
@@The_Bird_Bird_Harder i thought it was called salamander hair, not skin. Because it is thin and hairlike.
@@HBoyleAnd decaying. That too. That happenes especially to old movies 😭
"Something borrowed."
IDK about you, but when I borrow something, I like to give it back in the same condition.
Imagine borrowing a book, and you give it back, but you torn the pages that you don't like and be like "I made some fixes to it, now it's better I hope you like it".
Exactly. They should call it something old to make it more accurate! There is no “borrowing” happening here. Mothers on that show talk about keeping their dress to hand down to their daughter one day. So just call it something old.
@@raynamiranda6806 Still the whole idea of the show just rubs me in the wrong way. There are these mothers who kept their dresses for multiple generations sometimes, clearly there's a lot of sentimental value here. And one day someone comes and makes a glorified tablecloth out of an xy year old dress. And it's ripped apart, there's no going back. Which is a shame, since in the 80% of the time the bride will choose the new one anyway, so ruining the old was pointless.
They should just use the "idea" or the design of the old dress instead of actually using it. But I guess, that would be too much work.
"Firefly"
River Tamm fixing the shepards bible.
Maybe the show could be renamed “Something Destroyed or Something Tacky”
@@horrorharpy4513 I don't think so much that it would be disrespectful to your grandmother who I'm sure would just be happy for you and happy to provide what she could for you, but it would be rather wasteful and disrespectful to history to completely alter a vintage dress that was never designed to fit you. Like given that there is such a height difference, you'd have to completely change the dress. If your grandmother had stipulated "I want you to wear this some day" then yeah honor your grandmother and do whatever, it's what she wanted. In lieu of that, I agree that it wouldn't be a kind use of the garment.
The sad thing is that most of these “after”s all look just the same whereas the “before”s are just so beautiful and unique
Exactly! Even listening to the descriptions of the after dresses I’m like... y’all really copied and pasted huh?
I know right? they made them look so generic smh
I think it is sad, that mothers force their daughters to wear their old dresses. Just leave the dress as it is and buy your daughter a news one.
Some of the "after"s look more like worn-out night gowns than wedding dresses.
Yup it's so ugly
The only thing I'll say is if it's an ugly dress from the 80s well.... it can go in the trash
I like to imagine that this was all staged so that when the bride saw how awful the redesigns were, the showrunners could whip out the original dress and say, now you see how cool the og dress is!
Yeah, making an exact copy to do whatever to, while keeping the original intact!
I’ve heard some people will display their mom’s/grandma’s dresses on mannequins at their wedding reception, which I think is cool. It includes them but doesn’t require them to wear the dress if they don’t love the style.
Also, everyone’s already said this, but dang that original 80s dress with the lace neck was beautiful! And they just… no😭
fight me if u want but i like 80s dresses
That’s a pretty cool idea. My mum left her 80’s dress in my school’s theatre costume room cos it got mouldy :(
My fiancé mom just give me her dress that also was wear by her mom, so it’s basically a very old old dress.
I’ll love to wear it for mine, but I dont know where to take it as I don’t know anyone that can do the work.
My mother in law does not really care much about the dress as the dress was in a plastic bag and on a corner, but I definitely want to give it a good treatment and give the love that it deserves.
@@zingara76 you may be able to do the tailoring yourself (plus it’s free that way)
Oh that's a good idea.
arrgrrr the high collar dress was soo pretty i cant belive how could they just destroy the whole thing wtf?!
if they just took off the high neck, that dress wouldve been perfect for her
@@prblmsbby9449
The high neck would have been gorgeous with longer sleeves.
It's so sad, the mom looks so attached to it that even wearing like was sems cruel. That dress was so important to her, it deserved to be kept in the family as a reminder of ther conquers... fell so bad for her and the daughter too, because she ended with an awful dress that look so cheap and ugly
@@gisela_oliveira yeah and the daughter didn't even wear it to her wedding, if I remember correctly.
I feel like the lace at the bottom needed some modernising, but I LOVED that original neckline.
That first dress was so beautiful and the "after" looks like something you'd find on wish for 20 dollars
It was gorgeous! I love the lace neckline
@@Feraloidies Now it looks so absolutely cheap
😢😢
I literally had to stop the video to process what I just saw.
To my surprise, I actually really liked the original dress, I could've even imagined wearing something like that. If you gave it to me for my wedding, I wouldn't question it.
And then they took it and made an ABOMINABLE rip-off out of it.
As the mother, I would have killed this guys for doing that to my dress
¡Fake! I found it for 5, and it was better made.
That first "transformation" legitimately made me cry. That poor mother...She just explained how much the dress meant to her and they utterly destroyed it. And that designer so proudly talking about how they just turned it into the train. 😡
The original dress was so pretty it just needed some TLC and accessories.
@@MorganVsTheInternet so sorry, what does tlc mean??
I believe they mean tender loving care? That’s what google said when I looked it up anyway
This reminds me of the time my uncle, while planning to propose to his then gf, got a bunch of our family heirloom jewellery and instead of giving her one and getting it resized, he got them all melted down to make a new ring. 🙃 All without the rest of our families knowledge, I might add. My mum was livid when she found out, but there's not much you can do when they're already fucking melted into another ring. Why the FUCK would you take a piece of history and completely alter it beyond recognition when you could just make a new one?
Oh my god !!! I can understand your mom's reaction. She must've felt she was loosing her mind. The audacity though!
How to get yourself estranged from your own family 101:
That's so egotistical. Red flag to leave him kneeling there with his stupid "precious" in his hand.
He imagined the "impact" and "effect" because he's too stupid and self-centred to realise that love is not all about material possessions. If a man did that for me, I'd be leaving him and questioning how I missed other red flags.
The dress: is okay
The hosts of the show: it needs poorly fitted straps and cheap lace to form a mermaid skirt regardless of brides taste or bodytype
AND NOT EVEN CENTER THE MERMAID CORRECTLY!!
No one:
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
Hosts when they find an old dress: *DESTROY*

I read “body type” as “blood type”
Needless to say, I was *very* confused

@@amk446 Thank you kind stranger!
I honestly just want ashow that does the old dress remake justice.. like that would sell hella good instead of these abominations
do you realise how much 1980's fashion items are worth now?
Beautiful? More like generic, also what do they have against pretty transparent fabric covering the neck and chest area? These little details look so good, but they just remove it for no reason
My grandmother wore the most beautiful wedding dress in the 60s. It had a huge skirt and a square neckline with Lacey sleeves. It was GORGEOUS.
As I grew up I would always tell my grandmother that I wanted to wear it exactly how it was when I got married. Then my auntie got married. She took the gorgeous huge gown, she asked a seamstress to make it into a flat straight down halter neck dress. Doesn’t even resemble the original dress AT ALL and she only used like 1/8 of the fabric leaving a huge hole in the back of this gorgeous huge poofy skirt and i am grieving that dress to this day
The bride with her mom's dress from the 80's seems to regret the choice and I agree. The original dress was so pretty and still fashionable by today's standards. You could tell her mom was trying not to cry when she saw her dress changed so much (ruined) and I hate that these two women couldn't go back on the decision they made because I'm sure neither of them expected for it to end up like it did.
some of the dresses "before" looked ugly, no denying of that, but ALL of the dresses "after" looked cheap and didnt't fit the brides. Wtf?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Yes. They looked hurriedly done, and frankly, made the brides look cheap as well. I only liked two of the "after" pics, the ones Karolina liked.
The only good one was the one with the bow in the back. I can't be convinced that wasn't outsourced 🤷🏿
That show is the ultimate place to go when you hate your mom and want to punish her for good but also want to destroy your self esteem in the meantime.
The "stylists" there are beyond unfortunate, and the results are amateurish even for a freshman in sewing school... 😔
Only one was ugly before.
But that's not a good reason for cut it!!!!
I’m so sad for the mom of the 80s dress. Her heart broke a little when she saw the disaster it had become. Before the neck was unique and elegant and the skirt had som beautiful layers and it was HER BELOVED DRESS and they absolutely decimated it. I’m so worked up and sad.
That first dress was beautiful. It just needed to be cleaned.
It was really sad, especially because it was the first thing her husband bought her 😭
They could have just fixing the yellowing, I've heard of ppl who've done that. At most I can understand if they had removed the high lace collar, cuz I know that's not really everyone's thing and can be uncomfortable.
The after looked like a dress my Barbie's would wear, not in a good way. The fabric looks so cheap and shiny, it reminds me so much of Barbie's dresses.
@@Shapeshifting_Nerd or make the lace detachable but still useable? It should be treated like art restoration... So sad :(
"Why would you take a piece of history and destroy it?"
Well isn't that just modern American education in a nutshell
Not only American....😔
That first dress from the 80's was actually really nice, especially for the time it was designed. The 'remake' was absolutely hideous.
I am literally mourning that high neck 80's dress... The mom felt so attached to it, I just paused my screen and looked at the audacity... It just looks horrible goddamn.
That was a beautiful dress. I now know how brides can get their mums off their backs when their mum's force them to wear their wedding dress.
Me too...I genuinely did not understand why they would want to change it in the first place.
yeah it was beautiful, i LOVED the original
I loved that dress
Yep. And the last one. A few small alterations and it would have been nice. Really bohemian country side imo...
My mom really likes vintage fashion, and found a beautiful 30’s dress for her wedding, but she is really tall so fit oddly. Instead of ruining it, she paid someone to recreate it to fit her. I think that is a great solution if you have the money.
that’s actually great!
Key: If you have the money.
My mom had the same problem. Having a dress tailor made if you don't want something too extravagant can cost you just the same like a wedding dress of the rack (minus the additional cost of having that dress hemmed etc).
@@phoenixdavida8987 Some people spend 2k on a ring, so cost is subjective, I guess?
That is the best way to honor a vintage dress.
My grandmother’s veil was mostly literally rotten, and I had a milliner rescue the lace cap and put it on a fascinator. The milliner knew what she was working with and kept the cap intact when fixing it to the hat.
I was gifted my great grandmothers wedding dress from around the 30-40s (I forget which) and I absolutely refuse to change it at all. It’s a treasure. If my future daughter won’t care for it properly I will be giving it to a museum or fashion historian who will.
Who needs horror movies when this show exists
Because horror movies are enjoyable. This?this abomination is not.
@@alleegordon6511 well said!
Because there is no Jason Voorhees to kill them in various creative ways.
Pity pity the integrity of the design of the gown wasn't kept-old seamstress who worked in a wedding shop in the 60's-If the brides 'vision' had little in common with Grams dress-find out why-she's pushed for cost2save$1000s? Do my best to please the bride-Gown&fabric-R forfeit to her-sadly

I find it funny that I, as a 14 year old boy who dresses like a homeless man, cares so much about wedding dresses from the 40s lmao
Empathy knows no bounds lol
Okay, are you my one year younger clone?
CZcams leads you down rabbit holes and before you know it you're watching videos about 1940's wedding dresses or someone trying to fully restore a rusty zippo from WW2. 🤣
Hey, nothing wrong with caring about history like that. Fashion can be fascinating as a wearer or observer.
Literally same
I feel terrible because I took a (casual) dress, that belonged to my mom in the 90s, to a seamstress so she could make it fit me properly and she pretty much destroyed the top, the material was so damaged, I had to cut the top so I could save the rest and make a skirt. It pains me because I loved it as a dress. Can't even imagine how I would feel if someone transformed my mom's wedding dress into a monstrosity like that.
"All my friends are getting married and I'm sitting in my parent's shed looking at other people's wedding dresses" "I shouldn't have to be the one telling you this because I'm never getting married". Same girl, same!!! 👌😂
She did not say she will *never* get married
I remember HATING this show . No wonder it was canceled so quickly . They got such an awful designer , it was so sad !!!
Truly it could have been a really beautiful show if they had a good director and designer that mainly just altered gowns or would temp stitch things so the family could see before they change the garment idk
@@sunniejmh Or just like fit it to the new woman bleach it white if wanted and just.. restore it..?
Were they even licensed? Like did they have any basic training outside of "Barbie fashion studio"?!
@@Kairos_Akuma Exactly!
My mum and I used to watch wedding dress shoes together whenever I got sick - usually just Say Yes to the Dress - and I remember we watched this once. It was an episode with what I think they called a Queen Anne collar on a dress and it looked so lovely. The daughter just wanted the collar changed, and they butchered the dress. It looked absolutely awful, especially compared to how pretty it was before.
Oh God. The worst part is that the dress designs that replace the old dress aren’t just ugly af, they’re super generic. I swear they were all either mermaids or “fit and flares” which don’t even fit the bride’s properly
Deadass
I took a shot everytime I heard deep illusion back
Those fit and flares didn’t even fit the bride or flare 💀💀💀
ikr, why bother getting it reworked when you can just buy that shit in a store

That unusual 40s dress with the long train, they could have taken off the sleeves, raised the waist, and put her in the correct undergarments and it would have been stunning. What is wrong with people
Wow that 80s gown was actually gorgeous and it broke my heart when the mom talked abt how important this dress was to her and then they destroyed it
THAT WAS THE ONLY DECENT 80'S WEDDING DRESS I'VE EVER SEEN. WHYYYYYY
IT WAS SO GORGEOUS, I was expecting something gaudy with huge sleeves, but it was so elegant and beautiful????? I would 100% wear that exact dress, and they RUINED IT
RIGHT? the lace detail on the neckline was so beautiful why would they cut that out

This reminds me of when, three years ago, my cousin asked my grandma if she could borrow her wedding dress, from 1960, for her own wedding. My grandma said yes, thinking that my cousin was only gonna make some alternation so it fitted her better. Well, turns out my cousin turned the dress into a skirt and a jacket. My grandma was horrified and heartbroken, specially because she came from a very poor background, but still got a high fashion dress thanks to years and years of hard work
My heart is aching reading this
This breaks my heart. If my grandma let me borrow something that was so precious I would cherish it so hard :(
In what world does "borrow" mean "irrevocably change into something else"
it’s not borrowing if you do that!!!!
"Borrow", huh...
I hate when vintage stuff is "remade" especially old houses that are elaborate and beautiful
I’d love if it was like “let’s restore and fit the dress as it is and see if it can beat a new dress that you have one day to find” because then even when they pick the new dress, the mother whose dress it was still has something they’re guaranteed to love at the end
AND ANOTHER THING!!!!!
One of my seamstress friends had a client that wanted to wear her mom's old wedding dress, because her mom died.
The dress was too big, the skirt too short, and the lace was stained and torn to shreds.
What did my friend do?
Took in the dress.
Added a tasteful layer of skirt underneath the short one.
Custom ordered lace that looked exactly like the original version.
Hand dyed that lace with tea to stain it the same color as the original dress because she was NOT about to bleach that thing of beauty.
Voila.
The dress was brought back to near original glory.
Big difference actually giving a shit makes.
Tatiana Cueto
I would NEVER bleach such a beautiful artifact. Blinding white doesn't age well anyway.
She gave the dress the respect it deserved, she understood the history and meaning behind it. Good for her.
🤩🤩🤩Wow... I wanna see that..
inglorious_Machina White doesn’t look so good on everyone anyway. I’d choose cream or ivory over white white any day
@@geministargazer9830 Hell i'd have a blush pink wedding dress than white.
As someone who has worked on the show (as an intern working under one of the background designers) the dress would be rushed and basically glued together to make it on the show so like. yeah. poorly made. And the designer on the show doesnt actually design anything, they paid other designers to do the designing and she just acted it out on the show.
I feel like the dress is crying like it’s a rare wedding dress it hurts me that they ruin it for a ‘remake’
Oof that’s really unfortunate.
Why would they rush it so much and not take the time to actually do it right?!? For my wedding dress, the manufacturer ran out of the heavy, vintage lace, and sent samples of what lace they had in stock. I hated how cheap those laces looked. The lady I was working with said she had a size 16 she could cut down to my size 6, so two days before the wedding I went and she measured it out, and the VERY NEXT DAY she had a size 6 that looked perfect. She was a very talented seamstress. But it was funny because she was basically cursing the manufacturer the whole time for not being transparent. I guess they had sent her a dress made with the cheaper lace, and she knew the lace was why I had picked that design.
Aggghhhh this hurt me. I really hope you never worked on the show and that this is just nonsense. Because I really hoped the original dresses would be fine and they will only bring out another damn commercial dress claiming it was the same.
Oh that hurts.
I never understood this trend of making a big deal on the bride wearing a generational wedding dress. I mean, it's totally fine if it was the bride's dream/idea, but most of them really feel pressured.
I think I see it differently because in my country it's believed that a wedding dress represents the luck of the bride in her marriage, so you shouldn't pass on the dress because every marriage should have their own stars, as it is a new beginning for the couple (also, an old tradition says a married woman should be buried in her wedding dress although I don't think anyone does it anymore, but that's a different story).
Thank you ! This show ran on TLC here and almost every single time, I'd choose the new dress because both the original dress and the remake were just...not my style. Why pressure someone to wear something that she just doesn't like just because it's tradition. As far as I know, the groom is marrying the bride, not her mom.
If I had had a 1940s wedding, I would have loved to have had a copy of my mum's dress. It was a beautiful brown rayon suit, with cotton lace at the neckline. I've always loved it. (She and my da were childhood sweethearts who got married on da's 3 day leave. They were married for 54 years, until he died.
That first 80s dress in its original form fit like a glow. The after-monstrosity was just that - a monstrosity. The transformation of that 50s dress almost made me cry.
The 80s dress at the beginning looked SO good, why did they destroy it?! Also, you can tell the people doing this show have no idea about wedding gown designing. “It’s yellow!” Yes; a vast majority of wedding dresses has a cream hue to it because if it was actually pristine white people who have pale complexions would look sick and dead in them. This one was *very* yellow, but that happens to clothes when you let them sit for a few decades. And the “modern romantic lace dress” looks 🤮 with that baby blue belt.
I want the name of whoever went all home ec finale sewing project on that dress so I can file a class action law suit against this obvious crime to society.
@Charisma Girl the thing is that the 'pure white gown for the virginal lady' was invented after a Queen was married in white. No one ever married in white before that, for starters because natural white isn't white at all. And in my country, in which the groom would gift the bride a brautiful black velvet mantel (like an open skirt that ties at the back) covered in Polish cristal and jeb stones for their wedding day (and every fine ocasion afterwards), it was still usedup until the 30s (when the dictatorship came and destroyed our culture forever). Nowadays some brides are trying to revive the trend and wear replicas, or take the 'motif' and variate a usual gown with jeb stones, smoked cristals or put black silk accents... The virginity in white stuff could have been a thing to nobles, but most women never went virgin into marriage, so it was ridiculous (and of very bad taste if you ask me) to make an statement out of it. Even Amish girls don't usually marry as virgins 🙄
@Charisma Girl I don't know about USA Amish, but Argentinian Amish are certainly not virgins. When a boy has made his mind and frequents a girl, they can have alone dates at the house of the girl in an empty room with just one chair... So I understand that they don't talk about that around foreigners (in case in the us is the same) but is most frequent than not that they had actually had sex before. It is expected... And it is practical, imagine you have to pass the whole of your life attached to a man who has some deformity or whatever impediment, it's like a safety net.
As of XIX century, I have made my own research, that's why I said that. The research you mentioned shows that the place it was made, was pretty similar in habits to my land, and is very helpful, so thankyou.
Queen Victoria, indeed.
If you are interested in the mantel topic, there is this blog about ethnic dresses who has an entry dedicated to Galicia (which is my homeland). The most rural areas of the region (in other times a kingdom) wore another kind of mantel, made out of natural black wool with applique in a variety of shapes on the margins to embellish it, but it was not longer in use by XX century (many rural areas were emptied because of the wars, and XIX famine).
Your mother and your gran are such bosses!
I enjoyed all the data you gave, thanks a lot!
@Charisma Girl Props.
cracked up: "sick AND dead" now that's ill.
The thing that kills me is that almost all the dresses get turned into super basic a-line fit and flare with illusion back.... like no variation and super generic dresses that aren’t even that expensive in the grand scheme of things. Go get a new dress. 🙄 I would love a vintage wedding dress when I get married. 😩
You would think something they do over and over they would get it right but they dont
I agree 100%,why take a beautiful old dress and turn it into something that is not only cheap looking,but is not remotely memorable? As a person who has been selling vintage clothing for 30 years,I am a bit ill. :(
It's what they do on television. Same happens in home and garden make overs. Always they end up with the same boring room or garden.
And then there are talent shows, all a scam.
Don't get involved.
@@ankavoskuilen1725 you're absolutely correct, avoid this kinda reality tv like the devil... If anybody gets famous or picked for these, just run away, if you aren't that desperate for money and in debt... your life is better off without them.
Most designs seem like they would look great if you just take away the sleeves and take in the waist.
That 80s dress could be worn just like that. It was beautiful. I'm so sad for her having it been ruined... 😢
I'm tearing up, having these dresses that are precious in historical and personal terms for the mothers get absolutely *ruined* just kills a part of my soul. This show is an absolute nightmare, god I'm in mental anguish.
I own the wedding dress of my grandma (it's from 1949). Im my case she was the one who altered it and I really wish she didn't. Not only did she shorten it from floor length with a little train to something weird between ankle and mid- calf (which I definitely could fix), but she dyed it BLACK. 🤦♀️😭
It still is beutiful, but instead of an awesome old wedding gown I now have a Bellatrix Lestrange cosplay outfit. 😑
I know this is supposed to be sad, but as a Bellatrix cosplayer, this made me kindof excited instead.
If the "seamstress" who remade those gowns were a doctor, they would have lost their license for malpractice ages ago. They clearly know NOTHING about draping, or fit, or the human body, or how to flatter it. Each of those remade gowns look like cheap crap from a sweatshop.
i don't necessarily agree, the dress with the sky blue detail was prettier in a way and the40s-50s one was also pretty elegant, the thing is they don't compare to the originals and their own vintage style
Looks like they bought them on wish!
They do look like those dire warning videos from when people order from knock off sites sponsored on Amazon.
I would guess that they don't even do a fitting so they don't spoil the "surprise" and it really shows...
Did you see how the first one was fiddling with the shoulder straps all the time? You don't have to know anything about sewing to know that this is a clear sing of a dress that doesn't fit properly.
I wore my Grandma's wedding dress from 1958 that had been in her basement for the previous 50 years. The dress is tea length with a full skirt, sweetheart neckline strapless with the sweetest, most delicate lace bolero. I always had a vision of wearing it exactly as it (cleaned and repaired of course) but what I hadn't expected was that the dress required zero alterations to fit me perfectly. Not one stitch had to be added beyond repairs. I like the think the dress knew it was being brought back to life. I totally understand the rage at seeing these mini pieces of history destroyed!
I would love to see the dress!! It sounds beautiful! 😍
That's so awesome that you could wear her dress! :D
Oh that’s so sweet. I would love to wear my mom’s (my grandma’s dress never arrived because of drama). But it might give me bad luck with how bad that relationship went & I don’t think she would like to see said dress again, and remember that.
Man, it’s such a shame my family line’s weeding memories always get ruined.
That sounds amazing! I wish I could see you in that restored dress! My oma (grandma) got married in 1958 in a (light blue) tea-length dress as well. Unfortunately she doesn’t have the dress anymore. I’m planning my wedding for next year and the first thing I set my mind on was wearing burgundy red shoes just like she did 👠
@@SomeonesGhost Thanks Micaela! I think it is but I might be biased :) I have it posted here: beyondcookiecutter.blogspot.com/2020/10/crochet-sunflowers.html
I just wore my mom's veil. Easy peasy and looked great, no alterations needed. My sister wore it in her wedding as well!
That 40's dress was so beautiful and they killed it!!😭
Honestly the popular "sleek and sexy" mermaid dresses are uglier than the 90s polyester nightmares and I will die on that hill.
I agree. The mermaid style is repulsive and tacky.
They're generally cheap-looking, badly-fitting and worn by people who have no business wearing that style in the first place. Add in the now standard strapless bodice and it's pure vomit in fabric form.
Do not get why they think it would work on their shapes... It would work if a pear shaped body has the right curves, but some wear them... Well, it'll be insulting cause it ain't complimenting... The style is beautiful and cool, but it ain't lovely on some cause it only accented their flaws, not their assets...
It depends on your body type.
I can use it, but others tho
I like mermaid dresses
Mom: "this dress is so important to me"
The dress: *gorgeous*
The show: "let's fucking destroy it"
So many of these redesign shows do this.
It's like you're one of the producers on the show, you see so clearly into their minds.
I don't understand why these mothers would agree to this in the first place.
@@glykera they just wanted they're daughter to wear it, but make it into something they thought they would wear but they didn't think that they'd completely destroy it
That 80s gown is actually beautiful. I was expecting a puffy monstrosity. They done fucked it up.
That final one with the long train being destroyed actually made me sick to my stomach.
The second I saw it I was filled with dread as in: “oh no what are they going to do with that gorgeous piece of history?!”
We've got my great-aunt's wedding dress from the '60s that I'd love to wear for my own theoretical wedding - but she'd been sick right before, so was about half my size. My plan is to leave her dress ALONE and make a copy of the parts I like that fit me and my style. I can't imagine letting anyone take a pair of scissors to it :/
Yeah, even though my mom’s family had no money, she had the most stunning full-skirted tea-length dress when she married my dad in 1958. My mom is also 5’0” and had a 21” waist at the time, so that dress would barely fit a teddy bear today, much less me. Thankfully she handed down her hand-etched wedding glasswear which holds my wine just fine. 🙂
My mum had her wedding in the 2000s but the dress looked like something vintage that I'd like to wear ngl
Great! What a great idea!
That's what they SHOULD HAVE DONE 😂 (on the show)
@@isda3314 same-ish!
why do the designers have a thing with thin, thin, sleeveless straps? it's just kitschy
It's a trend that seems to be dying off now, but it was deffo all the rage for most of the 2000s and a lot of the 10s. Looking like expensive long white tank-tops, but to each their own lol
If I can’t wear my bra with it, I don’t want it. DDs require support so thin, thin sleeveless straps are right out.
20 years from now, people will look at them and go "ah, it's sleeveless/thin strapped. So 00s and teens... But we can fix it" then add velvet sweep sleeves, or neon chiffon, or whatever is in style.
@@chelleyroberts here here
And itchy.
Another reason why I think remaking an 80s or 90s dress as opposed to an older one is because most of the ones from that era are made of polyester and won’t fall apart over time like natural material from older dresses would
100% agree, when we were cleaning out my Grandma’s house we found her wedding dress from the early 50s, Mom had me put it on just to see if the lace sleeves were ripped (they’re fine), and we decided that the dress shall always remain intact. If someone wants to wear it, they need to be Grandma’s RIDICULOUS measurements, cause no scissors shall ever touch it.
Dude I cringed soooooooo hard when I first saw this show years ago...I got VERY angry when I saw they altered a 1800's dress...that was worn by a handful of generations in THEIR family...that had the matching veil...that was in GREAT condition for it's age....like it could have been in a museum.....I got soooooooo freaking angry... I can't believe I'm actually getting annoyed typing this all over again ...lol
Also she didn't even end up picking the dress either ....
As someone who is obsessed with the fashion from the 1800's, I better not come across that episode online, or else I'm gonna cry
God, I'm so glad I didn't see that...
There are tons of these dresses in "museums". Why should we judge what they want to do with their property...?
@@Meaganttv what are you doing in a channel about historical fashion?
When they restore old art they always use materials that can be removed without damaging the original piece in case someone decides the original painting has more value, even damaged, and I feel like these dresses should have been treated the same way
Let's call Julian to restore the dress XD
@@jellyfish0311 Yes, I was just thinking of Julian! :D
and there should be ways of removing pieces that you don't intend to use to reattach like sleeves, bows, collars etc :(
My Mum kept her wedding dress in the hopes I'd use it. I actually wanted to and quite liked the 80s design of hers. Alas, I grew to be about 4 dress sizes bigger than her and half a foot taller. I wound up simply pairing her old veil with my new gown to avoid destroying her actual dress. The pairing looked lovely and was a subtle nod to family history.
I would just never give it to my daughter if she didn’t want it. Seriously, the dresses were beautiful & pieces of history.... I. HATE. THIS. SHOW.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is me.
It is the same with old houses and architecture.
My irrational brain: No! Don't knock down that tiny, dilapidated, stone-brick cottage in the middle of that field! It is history! It is decorative!
it me
And also updating them. I drive past an old farmhouse on my way to work; they tore off the attached barn and replaced the peeling painted wooden siding with cheap vinyl, including the really beautiful sunburst above the door. It hurts my soul to look at it now.
I feel this in my soul. I could cry when I see bullshit like that.

As the saying goes" Don't fix what is not broken" the dresses were perfect before the catastrophe, no shade but the host has no idea what she's talking about.
@@DireDandelion hostess: "hmmm nope, needs more ass"
Some of the dresses were not perfect for a bride now. Most of the ones on that show were very, very 80’s. That said the solution is to get a new dress, not destroy an old one.
Omg yes. She talks total nonsense
All the "remade" dresses look exactly the same
I redesigned my mother-in-law's 1950s dress by adding a lace flounce at the bottom--I am taller than she. I also added another lace flounce at the neck for a Victorian vibe. Both totally removable. Yes, I agree. Don't mess with the history of the dress. Start over with a totally new gown if you cannot respect a family heirloom. My two cents.
As someone who’s parents didn’t have a traditional wedding (meaning my mom just wore a nice blouse and pants because they couldn’t afford a big wedding), I wish I could wear something from my mom. I understand wanting to transform your moms wedding dress but… that’s history right there. I just can’t see myself ripping apart a vintage dress that has a beautiful story behind it. Just my opinion. To each there own
I feel the same way about people ripping apart old Victorian and Mid-century Modern homes and redoing them cheaply with fixtures that clash horribly with the home's original style. So many antique homes and clothes with unique features and histories have been destroyed by these kinds of people and it makes me so mad.
L G my gran cried bc she sold her old house (which was 6-year old mes favourite place) and then when she went back to see it and her garden they had slapped two modern wooden extensions on this georgous white plaster, old style house (idk the word)
@@daisy_marblex6286 yes, so true.
So true, in Aus people are knocking down stunning old houses to build shitty concrete boxes that look dated (and not in a good way) before they're even finished. It pisses me off and I wish there was some sort of law that didn't allow homes over a certain period to be knocked down or completely modernised at all.
@@georgie3411 Don't know about other countries, but luckily here in Germany there is a thing called preservation order which prohibits the architectural transformation of the outside of "historical" buildings (like about 60 years upwards). And it does not only affects public buildings but also many residential buildings. Bad luck for someone living in it with the wish to modernise the whole thing, but there are always ways to modernise the inside. But very good luck considering the protection of historical heritage! :) I'm sure there are other countries with similar laws as well...?
@@oromara Ours is more on a case by case basis in Aus, usually only the really old, big houses are protected and it depends on the council. For example where I live, they unfortunately knock down anything to build either apartments or multiple houses on one block.

I got married 8 months ago and I was offered my great grandmothers silk wedding dress and it was so delicate I wouldn't have dared sit down in it for fear of the seams going. when I tried it on the buttons up the back wouldn't close (I'm a natural 34F chest) the waist was too big (I've got a 30 inch waist) and the sleeves were too tight. it was a disaster so I tactfully told my mother that I didn't have the heart to try and alter it and have it ruined when it didn't work out.
So I got a modern dress that looked like vintage fabric (Chi Chi London brand in a style called 'Kerris') in a Bardot style.it looked unique and I got it fitted to my shape professionally and I wasn't afraid of it falling apart or destroying and heirloom that's survived a war or two.

I don’t know who’s seen the movie “27 Dresses” but this is one of the main conflicts. The sister getting married takes their moms old wedding gown, has it cut up to pieces and is like “look, i made it new and better!” I was always furious whenever I watched that scene and now I feel justified lol
Same here honestly hated the sister just for that
That scene in the movie makes my blood boil. Like she KNEW her sister loved their mother's dress and had planned on wearing it first and she still tears it up only to put a tiny bit of lace on her new dress. Then she's all "Don't worry we saved the rest" like she's doing a favor and hands back a pile of scraps. 😡
It reminds me of the scene in Pretty In Pink, where Molly Ringwald's character cuts up a 60s dress and makes it into this hideous thing. (Still a good movie tho)
YES. She only used like two little parts of the dress and the rest was just torn to shreds
Omg I hated the sister so much
Even after they made up I was like nah I will not forgive you
The scene makes me so furious

Imagine absolutely destroying an og gunne sax dress to make the most bland wedding dress to ever exist... I literally threw a fit
I know! The original dress is very in line with what I would want as my wedding dress! I think the after was just awful.
And they called it “cowgirl-milkmaid”. I recall that fashion era. While the prairie style wasn’t necessarily glamorous, it never evoked work clothes. It was a time that valued a nostalgia for innocence and simplicity.
I will say this though, even back then I thought the wide brim hats that went with the look were a mistake.

The way it fits her, it must be mail ordered.
The sad thing is that the original dress was actually really pretty (in my opinion). It wasn't super over the top and the fabric looked nice and flowy, it was overall in a very good condition. The new dress looks like it was made out of wrapping paper.

Not a wedding dress but this reminds me of when we had exchange students from South Korea in 8th grade and one of my friend’s family was a host family. Their exchange student gifted my friend a traditional Korean dress which was handmade and stunning and she DESTROYED IT to make herself an 8th grade graduation dress. The Korean student was still living with her at the time and I just get so much secondhand embarrassment when I think about that. They had to have been so offended
