I sold my junior prom dress. But it was so rewarding. The girl had the same reaction I had when I bought the dress. She started crying because for the first time in a long time she felt beautiful. That's how I felt when I bought it. It was good to pass that feeling onto someone else.
Same, both of my grandmother’s were forced to drop out in the 3rd and 4th grade, respectively, as the eldest daughters to take care of the rest of their siblings.
At almost 5’7”, I’m a half a foot taller than every other woman in my mom’s family. I’m also the only one interested in vintage fashion, so it killed me to not take anything from my grandmothers closet when I was in high school, because our measurements are so off.
@Ingoc it is, idk why people are so surprised when vintage clothes fit later generations lmao it makes sense theyd have similar skeletal structure and can have them adjusted 💀
I just think it's fake I mean you can't believe everything you see on the internet what normal people have the privilege to keep a fifty-year-old dress in reality she probably thrifted these dresses and made them to fit then made up the story also who goes to prom all four years that's kind of weird too
@@nervousbabbs2769 It's obvious to take everything you see on the internet at face value, but you're definitely over analyzing this 💀 plus it's not uncommon to go to prom every year if you have junior or senior friends
yup, i went when i was a freshmen. but i think that was js b cus my school had allowed 9-12 grade to all go, otherwise i wouldn’t have been able to go.
Sure. It's a 3-4 yr age difference. Important for legal other matters, but if it's just someone that you've known forever and are friends with, you go so that they aren't dateless. Or embarrassed.😊
My mom grew up in a rural town with not a lot of money so there was "the one" dress for all the older gilrs. It was stunning. She had on long white opera gloves, and this fit to the waist, then poof, big tulle skirt. She looked like a queen. Its one of my favorite photos of her ever. Unfortunately, she has no clue what happened to it. A few of her sisters wore it and it was passed around and probably given to another family and no one ever saw the dress again. I would have totally worn it if I could.
Honestly If you feel like standing out 100% go for a unique look. I wore my traditional cultural clothes to prom and everyone loved it. No one had anything like it and I didn’t feel overdressed bc there were ppl with literal wedding dresses on
I borrowed a ball gown from a local theater 😅 put my hair up as an homage to girls putting their hair up for the first time when coming out into society. I ended up looking like a cross between the 1940’s Queen Elizabeth II & Anastasia. I stood out but looked like a Queen without the crown & everyone loved my dress. 😁🥰😊
Everyone at my senior prom said I looked as stunning as a Disney princess and my dress wasn’t even that fancy. It was a simple crimson A-Line gown with flowers. No one had a dress like it and it proved that I didn’t need the glitziest dress to feel beautiful. I guess I have princess vibes.
@@theroseofversailles NICE!! Go girl! I’m just happy was able to be savy/smart & not have to pay sh%# to look like a Queen. Kinda cheated with a side hair piece almost like a tiara. 👑
I’m guessing by looking at the comments that it’s common for other schools to let all years attend prom, but for us it was only seniors. I didn’t even get to attend my school’s prom before I left (I dropped out, don’t copy me 🥶) and only got to attend my boyfriend at the time’s private school prom. Which sure, it was fancy, but god was it boring. I knew nobody there, and there weren’t many people because they also only allowed seniors and their dates. It was really awkward 😂 not to mention, my date was quite the bore himself.
For mine it’s both juniors and seniors. They are on different days. For both you can only bring one person with you, they can be in any grade as long as it’s high school, and they can be from a diff school. We have a homecoming every year which everyone can go to, but we don’t have any other dances like semi formals.
I wore my grandmother's kaftan to a dance when I was twelve, it was so different from what everyone else wore, I felt a little awkward about it as a kid but it's absolutely gorgeous. A decade plus later, I found it again and got to wear it for a costume recently!
@RoraHope I honestly didn't think it would! I'm six feet tall now and definitely Wasn't the first time I wore it, but It's actually just really billowy and kind of a giant box with tassels and arm and neck holes. The arm holes were a little tight to get through, but not so much that it put stress on the dress. :)
All the women in my family have very different body types and my moms side of the family (who was more fashionable) was pretty bad at taking care of and keeping their old clothes safe. I asked my mom recently if her mom had any of her grandmas old clothes and apparently they were all sold or thrown out when she died. Her house went to ruin when she started to get older and didn’t clean anything, not even dishes we had to use when visiting, and her mom is a clean freak (understandably so) and never keeps anything “unnecessary.” I’m pretty bummed about it lol
I think you and your Great Aunt must definitely have a strong soul frequency connection as you seem to both understand fashion trends and value the artistry of fashion thru the years enough to take such loving care of your old dresses! Enjoying this! Thanks for sharing your passion with others!
that red long sleeve dress is TO DIE FOR!!!!! It looks so good on you! All these dresses are so beautiful and can be worn again for other occasions! But that red dress !!! CHEFS KISS*
I wore a dress from my aunt for a dance. It was so gorgeous black off the shoulder with a circle skirt and covered in copper shiny floral embroidery. Still my best dress
Your grandma has good taste! Wish mine had her taste, then I would’ve asked to keep her old clothes. Though I do have my moms jewelry from when she was a teen in the 70s.
My mom had a bridesmaid dress from the 80s that I adored but she hated it. When I found it at 8 years old she told me I could wear it to prom. She didn’t expect me to still want to by then but I did! She didn’t let me. I still think that dress was gorgeous.
Im sorry, but this is white people privilege. Most immigrants and black peoples older relatives rented or had to sell lost of their clothes in the 50s and 60s. Some few wealthy families may still have them but i cant imagine anyone having anything other than a wedding dress.
I would wear the junior and sophomore dresses now, and I'm well past school years. They are so beautiful! I'm sorry that I'm rude, but who would let their highschooler out in that red dress? You were falling out of it.
I think it's amazing you and your great aunt still have all those dresses especially the ones from the 60s. I don't think my kept anything old lol. I wish they had.
I actually wore my mum' prom dress for yr 11 prom - and yup, no one had anything like it.
Awww
Same but 8 wore my aunts
Same but I wore my aunties
What year was hers
I was covid year 11 and never got a prom, even after buying a dress for it 😅
The junior dress in white is to die for
Ikrrr, the sleeve gloves are so awesome

Keep up the good work!! This is so wholesome!! 🩷🩷🩷
I am OBSESSED with your great aunts orange number! The colour and the silhouette are amazing 😍🥰
Agreed! It's so fun and pretty!
I liked it, but I feel like it would be better suited to a daytime event than a night time formal like prom
None of the women in my life went to school long enough to reach prom 😭😭
What about you?
hugs 🥺 i think my mom reached high school but was forced to drop out in her first year :,(
Same, both of my grandmother’s were forced to drop out in the 3rd and 4th grade, respectively, as the eldest daughters to take care of the rest of their siblings.
@@daylightchim127mine was forced to drop out in 8th :(
My mom had to drop out in 8th 😅

Auntie had some serious style! Those vintage dresses are AMAZING
Her freshman year was a whole SLAY
Looks almost exactly like my first prom dress, except mine didn't have any petticoats underneath it.
💀💀
@@MirandaDFE💀
Yes! They were both gorgeous! Definitely my favorite.
Damn y’all were going to prom as freshmen?
you just have to know the right people, I also went as a freshman. I have a friend that got invited when she was in 8th grade still too

1965 dress is gorgeous and fits her like a glove!😮❤🎉
Your 2015 dress is so awesome. Would even make a great wedding dress.
these vintage dresses are so beautiful
They are…something about 60s clothes, so modern yet with just the right edge of formal👌
How did yall go to prom freshman and sophomore year? Did you both have upperclassmen dates? Prom was only for juniors and seniors at my school
My Prom was only for seniors unless one invited you as their date
at my school only juniors and seniors are allowed to go to prom. you can’t even bring an underclassman as a date
@@lilyofthevalley05 Same
Same im always so confused
i went my freshman year because i met a junior in my german class, and he happened to fall in love with me aha
My daughter wore her aunt’s prom dress to a Spring wedding and got dozens of compliments!
i like dress from 1963 the most. so pretty and yet so gorgeous.
Literally wore my mom's bridesmaid dresses from when she stood up in a couple weddings for prom! Would recommend doing this if possible!
Yes!! My mom has some really pretty ones, just need to make them a biiiit smaller but honestly worth it
the junior red dress is literally AMAZING 😍😍
Her style was so beautiful. I actually loved her dresses!!!
The last two are stunning!!!!😮🫶

As a man, I will also be showing up to prom in my great aunts prom dress.
it makes you happy, do it!
I wore a kilt to my Senior Prom. I got the legs for it, though.
Slay, just don't stretch it out.
Y'all are so beautiful !!!
I love many of the fashions of the 1960s....one of my favorite decades...Y
I got to wear the dress my grandma wore to my parents wedding to an award ceremony once. it's a prized possession now.

Our school only had a junior year prom. We had homecoming dances and winter formals every year but only one prom
For mine it’s upperclassmen (juniors and seniors) unless you have a guest from the younger grades. Homecoming is for all grades tho :)
For mine it’s both juniors and seniors. They are on different days. For both you can only bring one person with you, they can be in any grade as long as it’s high school, and they can be from a diff school.

We don't even have proms, or formal dances or anything in our school
My school has juniors and seniors. But people form toher grades can be invited (As friends or dates which i think is very weird)

It was my mother's and tbh I just didn't have a dress in time 😂
How did it fit u??

@@OstrichFanAw that's so cool though!! 😁
I loved your 2014 & 2015 prom dresses, beautiful fabrics and very fitting for your figure 😍
that orange dress is sooo cute
Also I wore my Grandmother’s handmade dress from 1949 for my senior prom. I felt so special 🥰 and my date thought it was gorgeous!
My best friend wore her mom’s dress for a high school dance- it was so cool comparing the pics! 💙🦋
Those dresses are beautiful
Loved her style, so fun to go back and compare. Love seeing yours too.
Finding out you are younger than me is a trip 😂

i graduated in 2013 so we wouldnt even have seen each other in hs 😬 i really did think she was a bit closer to my age

both Junior dresses are my favorites. Stunning!
Your 2017 prom dress was so pretty. The color, the style, the shape and the length were all perfect. I loved it.
I wore a dress from my aunt for a dance. It was so gorgeous black off the shoulder with a circle skirt and covered in copper shiny floral embroidery. Still my best dress
I love the 1964 orange dress! Sooo pretty!!😍 ❤
Beautiful Beautiful beautiful....that's all I have to say is beautiful 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
I made my dress this year for several reasons, and it was great! I love sewing and plan on making even more clothes
My imm8grant parents who didn't go to prom because they weren't even in the country:
Omgoodness, I absolutely LOVE your great-aunts sophomore dress!! I've always had a thing for orange dresses!! ❤❤❤
Also these dresses are gorgeous!
The orange striped dress is to die for
YES. What a flattering fit too.
I wore my mom's senior prom dress to my senior prom! It was a beautiful pink crushed velvet regency style dress :)
I love those vintage dresses!😍
You're great Aunt looks freaking fabulous and had great taste in prom dresses!! Love love love the orange one.

The older women in my family were too oppressed to go proms and shit like that 😂
I love then all but your 2017 one is just amazing! The color cut and style
All of them are so cute,y’all have good taste
They fit so well. They really extenuate your curves
Stunning figure.

I actually came looking for this comment. Lol
Seriously?😅
You're trying to tell me you had the money to have a new dress every year? 😵
I think one of her relatives made them.
Im sorry, but this is white people privilege. Most immigrants and black peoples older relatives rented or had to sell lost of their clothes in the 50s and 60s. Some few wealthy families may still have them but i cant imagine anyone having anything other than a wedding dress.
Omg I cannot find any modest prom dresses anywhere. I love the sequin one it’s so pretty on u!
I absolutely love the 1964 orange dress, super gorgeous. I could definitely wear that. Then the white one, simple yet very elegant and classic.

I think the great aunt aces the dress wear! I love the styles!
Both of you have a great sense of style! For some reason the one with orange stripes on it just gives me so much happiness
I love how modest and gorgeous they all are!!
I would not call the red dress modest.
