Daughter Looks Amazing In Her Mum's Vintage Wedding Dress | Something Borrowed, Something New 

))))))))) for the mother means, she shouldn t force upon the daughter..

The mother was a good sport about that though. 😆

I don’t think she minded

I actually thought that part was funny I mean let's face that dress was UGLY but I did like the way it was redone and it was so beautiful on her I'm glad she went with her mom's dress. But lighten up it was a funny moment mom was joining in

I love the presenters response!!

Lily mb oh you must be new

She can wear her Mom's dress sir the ceremony and the new dress for the reception.

marie-elena Waldrip she could but it’s also paying extra for two dresses

KittyFantasy Productions™ yes, but how on earth can she choose between the two- she is getting a very good deal on the vintage dress and the new dress looks so beautiful on her- I would choose the new dress- It suits her best and I think her soon to be husband would prefer the new dress- Afterall, I understand the sentiments of her mother, but it is the brjde's day-

marie-elena Waldrip they practically wasted their time ripping up the mother’s dress and making it pretty just for the daughter if she’s only going to choose the new one in the end

Beautiful. We are the totality of the ancestors who have come before us. We all want to be original, but we are original because we have one more mother and one more father than the generation before us.

The borrowed dress (updated of course) looks like what we mere mortals wear. The new dress is like all the other bridal TV show dresses (for non-plus women) - a daydream when you have thousands for a dress and fittings and hairdressers and makeup artists. I'm envious for sure, but I think most of these shows build up expectations that many of us can't afford or obtain.

Same!

The new gown looked more like a Hollywood evening gown.

asseater007 hahahaha

Dennis Hauzel they knew what show they were signing up for

She chose the borrowed dress.

Yeah, she was clearly horrified. The empathetic thing to do would be to just back out, give her priceless heirloom back unharmed, and buy a new dress.

It’s part of ever show so she knew it was coming.

Becca Morgan oh good

Thank you! They cut off the last part so I didn't get to see which she picked.

So glad she did! You can feel the love when she wears it 💕

Oh GOOD!! That one was by far the prettiest one, even though the other one was pretty- but it looked more like a evening dress/prom dress vs wedding dress!

I don't think she really had a choice after cutting her mum's prized dress. I did think the new dress looked better on her than the borrowed 😬

I love mom's dress.

Arial Xiong lol

Not picking mom's dress after cutting it up is CRUEL.

@@SkylerDawn1123 Well what is someone supposed to do? Not feel beautiful on their wedding day? The mothers knew there was a chance the daughter might not like it. The mother already had her day, let the daughter have hers the way she wants

Tiffani Farrington no. If you want a new dress, you’re supposed to decide that BEFORE destroying your mother’s beloved gift. In the same boat the daughter should know that’s the dress she wants before altering it. You don’t cut up her dress, break her heart, and then say meh I’m gonna get this new one instead.

That wasn't the point. It was about having her mom let go of her death-grip on her daughter's choices.

Infinite Worlds They had already signed up for the show. They had already agreed to modify the dress. That level of cutting was unnecessary, as the pieces could have been repurposed or added back later on, after the wedding.

I cringed at that part. My seamstress side was screaming.

My same thing. Would've made a dress for a little girl in the future

@@jonquilgemstone so true. The sleeves where useful later

Hayley Dell-Clooney my thoughts exactly!

Me too girl! They are lazy, because seam ripping takes too long!

The whole point of this is to create unpleasant drama, they want to cut up the dress so that it can't be put back together as it was, making sure that mum is distraught and the bride carries even more guilt. This is the second time I have seen this programme (I found this while browsing)and I won't be watching any more.

And the sleeves looked nice, it’s the puffed shoulder pieces which were the issue. The designer should have found a way do just remove them but I don’t feel she is talented enough for it.

Yeap!! I cringed.

Kris Latoya she could wear the mom's dress for the ceremony and the new dress for the reception. Good idea!

peekaboots01 Agreed

I absolutely agree. The New dress to me looked more like a party dress anyway.

Yeah! The new one was actually a party dress, no way a bridal one

Doesn't she have to pay for both then? The budget may not allow for two dresses.

princessmyhand ikr...

I liked her mother's dress better as to me it looked more young and fun. The new dress looked like it was more for a mature bride.

omg you're missing the whole point of the show??? shes not selfish at all lol. she was so grateful for her mum and the dress

This made me cry, it was the mums mothers dress and they cut it up! All those memories have vanished! There’s no going back to the old one. Although it was a great opportunity for them to create new memories. I’m making a puddle on my pillow guys! Help me here! 😭😭😰

Susie English I thought so too.... unpick save n maybe put back together again. I may have given in.

Laugh&smile all day&night the memories never vanished, they live on in their hearts

Wasn’t even anywhere near a seam she cut through all that beautiful appliqué

Chris Thomson honestly I've never seen it, nor have I heard of it. So.

She picked her mum's dress

Night Wolf hate the dominant mother and her bloody stupid dress.

I actually thought her dress was really pretty! But I am a supporter of being able to chose what you want on your wedding day. It's a shame she put so much pressure onto her daughter, but I also see why.

She pushes the dress on the daughter, and continues to call it "my dress". My precioussss!!! Mummy: it is her wedding, not yours... let her free!!!

Harshita Bhuyan The mum can say "When they see her they are going to say that's mum dress" making the bride Day turn to mom Day but the daughter HAS TO USE WHAT SHE WANTS?

Harshita Bhuyan its a piece of cloth.... Relax

It is just a material possession. Memories can never be taken away.

the mom really wanted her to wear her old dress, but the bride didn’t want to look like she was from the 80s, it’s called compromising.

Relax Harshita Bhuyan both mother and daughter did the show knowing the old dress would get chopped.

Just 'Kiran fyi she choose her mom's dress

They always have to pick a new dress and then choose between the updated old dress or the new dress of their own choosing. They have to choose between something borrowed (after adjustments), or something new. That's the whole point of the show. That's even why it's called "something borrowed, something new". Duh. And obviously it's hard to choose because the new dress is always something that the bride always feels like this is her dress and makes her feel unique, but then the old dress after the update is beautiful too and carries memories and sentimental value and is much more "her" than before the update (if she should have had to pick between the unaltered puffy sleeves and the new dress she would have gone for the new one without a doubt) and that's why they update the old dress first so it has a fair chance against the new dress. So of course it's a difficult choice. But the choice is what the whole show is about.

shantii mirone That's just it for me. The new one looks too much like a typical party dress. Call me crazy, but I would rather wear something unique and special.

Or a dress and vail from same dress

Lacey chan especially if she didn’t even pick it

Lacey chan And why cut the sleeve lengthwise ??????

sophia mac First of all, cutting the sleeve off the other way, while she was still in that dress, would have been difficult. Secondly, in that way you do not destroy all the lace with it, it is easier to 'recreate' / 'recycle' that beautiful piece. When you look closely at the sleeves, then you can see that the measurements of them are not perfect, it is her mother's dress after all and was not made for her. Therefore, it is not as fitting. However, by cutting them off lengthwise, you can 'recycle' them by sewing them into any part of that dress. If you decide that you will keep them, then you can take the exact measurements from the daughter. That way you can work according to the measurements and remove or add textiles, if she needs it.

I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of this show

Nisali Pallewela you mean ugly betty?

Nisali Pallewela America Ferrara is her name ..from ugly Betty and the sisterhood of the traveling pants

Nisali Pallewela oh my gosh yes she does

I was thinking the same thing!

Nisali Pallewela - She looks like Moana to me...

Not everyone has the same taste, or the same appreciation for their family. Sometimes you don't realize how much people matter to you until you lose them. I'm so sorry for your loss. :'(

Hellgirl lives In spotlight I feel sorry for the daughter~ it’s her wedding not moms~ you couldn’t force me to wear that~

holly love but she likes it...

Galiana Llaque agree most people want attention~ I still wouldn’t wear the dress I’d ask mom to wear it at my wedding~ turned out gorgeous regardless~ it’s the helicopter mom letting go statement got me~

Really the mother is emotionally black mail her daughter to wear it

Why she agreed to be on the show

They always do that. Take pieces of history and make some tacky dress out of them.

THE perfect solution 😍😍😍

Chris Thomson but the dress was her WEDDING DRESS it must have had meant a lot to her

Yusra Salehi point of the show

song

That's the concept of the show. They have to pick between something borrowed (altered to a more modern style because most modern girls don't want to walk down the aisle in a dress that makes them look like they just came from the set of an 80s movie) and something new. That's why the show is called something borrowed something new. It's the concept of the show. And although it's emotional, if they really hadn't agreed with the dress getting an update and then still having to choose they shouldn't have signed up for it.

Korv spad I agree the bottom of the dress was lovely

Korv spad I would have modded the train to not have ruffles, and I might have gotten rid of the poofy shoulders, but I would have kept the choker and most of the sleeve.

If they would have done it your way she would have not even considered the old dress and gone for the new because it was obvious she hated the train. So they adapted the dress to something she feels beautiful in. Not to something you would like to see. It's about the bride. Not about the mum. And not about strangers on RU-vid who would have kept the train or done it differently.

They were trying to make it 'on trend'. Tulle, lace & embroidery are huge in Bridal at present, after years of ruching, mermaids & pick ups.

It's sickening listening to the hypocrisy that comes out of his mouth!!!!!!!!

Pollyanna Principle no one is forcing them on the show

What good was the dress doing in a box, completely wrong for her daughter?

The mothers dress WAS the foundation....most of the redesign was done with the original dress...which, lets face it was quite awful ( 80's style) my own dress is from 1974 and by todays standards very traditional but you could still wear it today with a few alterations, mums dress here was extremely outdated and was turned into something beautiful

They did use it... They just seperated the top and skirt part and switched the skirts front to back ( and then sewed it back together).. As I see and assume they only chopped the puffs, replacing them with lace that represent the former puffs and they chopped the train

Jsmn .- ikr, i actually liked the long sleeves and choker as well as the bottom of the original dress. The updated one looks cheap 😷

Jsmn .- The old dress was outdated. The new updated dress was modern and it is nice. But yes I loved the old dress except the puffy sleeves and choker. She could have just cut the sleeves off. For me cut the choker off too. Done. The dress would be perfect.

I thought the opposite. The old dress fit frumpy and made her look chubby. The update was so streamlined and smooth.

Matilde J Yes. I think the shoulders and the train helped rather than hurt.

totally agree! i think it was top of the old skirt

Probably because Kelly isn't a good seamstress. Or at least in this show she almost always delivers really bad work. I can count on my hands the times they where technically good, without visible wonkt seams, uneven skirt lengths, badly placed darts etc. Maybe it's because of time limit, but I can't imagine agreeing to that, knowing millions of people judging your work on television.

The lady attempting to transform the borrowed gowns isn't talented at all.

That's what I wonder, especially with the modern trend of showing as much cleavage as can be. If I get ever married I would at least want my boobs covered. I have quite big ones and wouldn't be ashamed to wear something sexy any other day but on my wedding day I would want my future husband to look me in the eyes while saying "Yes I do" and not say yes to my boobs. 😂 But I do have to say that I didn't find her old or new dress to sexy. The new dress actually really made her look beautiful and the cleavage was at least still modest and I think open backs are just amazingly beautiful. I would want an open back too. Actually my ideal wedding dress is a bit between her old and new, mermaid dress with lace body and sleeves and open back, but in a light blue color like the dress my mum wedded in. Anyway, in front of the altar he's facing my front not my back anyway so at least that open back wouldn't be a distraction. As long as my boobs don't fall out of my dress and he is saying yes to me and not those melons I am fine. 😂

It's the pornification of the ideal of beauty, women & fashion. I'm glad I'm not young & in all that. It's damaging for young girls to think that's all they're valued for & that's what they 'should' look like.

it’s empowering? i see nothing wrong with wanting to look sexy AND classy. no need to keep it all covered up, flaunt it! it’s a wedding and you want to look your best. that doesn’t mean tits out, but girls feeling sexy isn’t a bad thing

Classy is better then sexy!!

I share your sentiment. I’m looking at wedding dresses now and I can’t imagine wearing something that shows off so much cleavage etc. how awkward with my whole family there and in laws!!

Kaileigh G my mother's is almost exactly like it as well! I would totally take pieces of it for a vow renewal dress later in life, as I am already married.

Alyssa Winegarden im getting married in 6 months and i love my dress so much i cant imagine wearing anything else!

Kaileigh G totally agree

She obviously does not like it, and it's her wedding, she should be able to choose for herself.

Fuck off man.

It's really disrespectful of the mother to be forcing the dress on her daughter, who clearly did not want it. I'm glad they both lightened up a bit by the end.

@@infiniteworlds5 WHAT? It's disrespectful to cut up the dress that her grandmother gave to her mother before she passed away and then just to discard it!

They knew when they went on this show that the dress is going to get cut up. The mother is so desperate to have her daughter wear her dress that she's willing to have it chopped up. If she didn't want that, she should have stopped pressuring her daughter before it got to this point.

It’s incredibly understandable

It was her wedding dress! The last dress her dead mother bought her As well

Most women are.... it's sentimental value is more than just the wedding it self.

OMG that's the point of the show, which they applied to, knowing full-well the dress would get cut up.

Infinite Worlds But did they have to remove everything which made it unique and not run-of-the-mill? Nope.

Why people keep blaming her when it’s the whole concept of the show and she would have just picked a new dress if her mother had not been pressuring her to pick the old one.

@@jonquilgemstone the puffy sleeves are not unique, they are typical 80s. Practically every dress from that era had those god-awful sleeves and choker collar.
