Mum's Old 80's Dress Or A Beautiful Brand New Wedding Dress? | Something Borrowed, Something New 

Well if she was feeling better in her new dress then that’s better. U don’t have to like it 👍🏻

@@saskia7068 you can clearly see and hear that she don't like the after resulte...

You are absolutely right! The dress became more revealing which lessened its class and elegance. What a pity!

Five million times better as a rag.

I liked the old ones bottom much more

Me

Yep

Racquel Castilla 🙋🏻

Racquel Castilla I don’t really like either one because of the low cleavage but I do like the idea of remaking the dress but why are they always made low cut I would like to see a modest one

I haven’t finished the video, but I feel for the mom because she does cherish the dress so much. I wouldn’t risk totally obliterating my beloved wedding gown for the purpose of my daughter POSSIBLY wearing it for her wedding.

@@jessicazeller8060 Yeah I don't like the premise of this show at all. Seriously, TLC?

heck I'm not even the mom or bride and I wanna cry for them

Me

ME

Hi yes. The fact that smthe mom started to cry when she took the scissors to it I...

For real💀💀😂

Well, it's a good thing then this show offers a pick between old and new. The old dress would have only been ruined if the daughter wouldn't even consider wearing it to her wedding after the alterations. Just because it's not your taste doesn't mean it's "ruined". She wouldn't have worn it to her wedding the way it was. The way it is now she does consider it and it's now a fair competition with the new dress of her own choosing.

I absolutely agree!That beutifull lacing on the neck!Totally ruined!

totally agree.

Yess what i was thinking

I agree

@@daniellaalmeida1139 i love how you are a guy with fashion sense

@@StevieMichelle Girl...but thanks I guess

It was perfect for mom. Not The daughter

So what. The daughter didn't

Seriously it was so important to her

Yeah. They committed crime with changing this fabulous dress. They ruined it, they shitted on it.

menaga maniyan and her mouth shut as well

@@HA-gx2dg Yep. A lot of times the moms on this show are just being pushy about their daughters wearing their dresses when they say no. And then, they regret when their daughters pick the new dress they actually like.

I agree I would have rocked it proudly knowing I had a mother so cares and loves me

I think removing the lace above the neckline was a good idea, but otherwise it was perfect. And then she went and destroyed the neckline by flattening it out -_-

Agree... the remodel was not good... ratty neckline... it was lovely before... just needed careful cleaning.

yeah me too

Well then they shouldn't have gone on the show cause that's the point and the mother knew what she was getting herself into

Aria Anna True, but that is obvious. If you notice, my comment contains three ''I'', meaning it was my personal opinion.

that sums it up well

Milena Koseva it looks like an old season. Maybe it's the kind of style.

Yasss

The old dressed looked more modern lol

yes

The neckline was awful

Sadly yes...

Trinity W made her look flat and frumpy at the same time

Ikr? I can understand wanting to remove the lace on the collar but it should've stopped there.

They said its off the shoulder... Its not even below the shoulders

She destroyed the bodice and those straps are both too short and uneven.

From the videos I’ve seen of her work...it’s atrocious and she butchers those dresses 90% of the time

She may as well have built a garbage bag out of that dress. It legitimately looks like a trash bag to me.

Kelly is a terrible designer she ruins Lovely old dresses

@Ash id have just cut off those little sleeve/back flap thing and been done with it. I loved the neck

You did hear Lauren say she hates the neckline? Better listen again

You were not going to wear it. The daughter hated it

I thinks the orig is much pretty the neckline from.chest to shoulder is loose

how do I like a comment several times?

Irene Maria Thomas yeah it was sooo pretty 😍

Right!?

Irene Maria Thomas ikr

should’ve kept it in the box in the closet. i would have loved that dress. ugh i might just think about getting a similar one for my own wedding in the future

Irene Maria Thomas i agree -_-

I hope so! I'd love it if they didn't actually destroy that beautiful dress.

if you look at the patterns of the lace, its unfortunately the same dress rest in peace

@@double0hsnap538 I expected a better job on the Dress. Made it look cheap. She could have used the pretty bling neckline as a belt, or enhance the bust.

God I fucking hope.

It actually looks older!

Maisie Agreed! It looked sophisticated on her before. And the after-dress just looks like a cheap Frankenstein made with very little thought. This show hired poor designers. Not to sound mean, but they can definitely do better/ find someone else.

I like it too. I might just would wear it without the lace on top such as when the designer cut the top front off because my skin right there usually gets irritated easily. But it is a beautiful vintage dress. I really love it the way it was too.

totally agree..the original was way better

Maisie exactly, the transformation is horrible

The designer broke mom's beautifull dress... The renew dress is look like cheap one...

Thorn Volkov I completely agree

agree

I agree with you on her mother's old dress I liked it with the short sleeves

I agree

I like the added beading, but I agree about removing the lace and sleeves. This one looks fine, but it doesn't look as..magical? I guess?

Ya ampun ada kak nessie jugak! 😁😁

FOUND YUH !!!!

Love to see you loving this kak nessie. I'm your fan 😆

Wow, it's fantastic to find you here sist

And, cut the capped sleeves… it would have been perfect.

The mom genuinely looked like she was about to cry

Agreed! :(

She just completely ruined the original Wedding dress! Extreamly poor Work and bad quality!

lol

The 1980's dress is originally hidious. The remake is a vast improvement.

@@ingriddubbel8468 yeah, from the original a hight quality fairy dress to the new cheap halloween costume... -.-

Maybe if her mum hadn't pushed her daughter into having her dress it still would have belonged to her mother, now it's been spoilt and I don't really think either of them like it, I wouldn't have a second hand dress either unless it was a really old vintage dress that had been passed down the family, her mother didn't wear second hand, why should the daughter unless it was her own choice

Agreed

It looks like it was made in China

The mum has been kinda pushing her old dress onto the daughter..wtf..if it was my mum i would say thanks but no thanks early on, the girl has her own ideas

She took what was an expensive, good quality dress in ~1983 and made it look homemade.

Omg same 😂

Holy Crap you are so right

I think I had one like that when I was 6. In 1974.......

To me it looks like a cheap Barbie dress

I was just about to write that exact same! 😂

And they don't make dresses with sleeves or cap sleeves any more. Unless it's custom made.

If the waist part would be more fitted, I'd love to wear it if I'll ever gonna get married hahaha love the skirt as well

@@TheRabidWolverine if she had some alterations then it would look stunning on her.

@@annaconigliaro2907 no argument there.

Yes! The lace was so beautiful. My gosh.

Completely so thats my thought as well

That's why they are on this show to begin with? This show offers a compromise by altering mum's dress to something the bride would wear and a choice between that and a new dress. I think agreeing on this compromise is not selfish and pretty much selfless. Because you agree to be on a show of which you already know they'll be cutting your old dress apart. Selfish would have been if she wouldn't have been okay with cutting in her dress and forcing her daughter to wear the dress as it was before. They are on this show because they love their daughters and are open to a compromise. And love means that both parties are open to compromise and meet each other in the middle. This show is the part where they meet in the middle.

Iv1309 picking a wedding dress can be so sentimental. The moment you put on that dress and see the perfect dress for you is so special. Because of the mom, the daughter can’t have that moment. Moms like this are so obsessed with reliving their wedding, when it’s not their wedding it’s the daughters moment and the daughter should be able to have that special moment. The mom can’t “force” her to wear it, she’s a grown ass woman. The mom should understand it’s the daughters special day, not hers.

Maybe the daughter wanted to do this

@@joyceprice4811 Not Mom for sure, having her very important dress be destroyed for 50% chance her daughter would wear it? No thanks.

Alondra Moya exactly! That new fabric looks like it was bought off of aliexpress

The look in her eyes. You can see the hidden distraught.

yep looks so cheap

It looks cheap now😒

@@oldmcdonalds2287 ikr

Mallow07 M ... it was called an “off the shoulder dress”

Mom had her wedding day. She needs to let her daughter have hers.

Poor mom didn't have to go on this show.

They didn't fail. They would have failed if after the alterations the daughter would have disliked it because it's about what she thinks and she likes, not about what you, a random stranger, would have done differently and what you would wear to your wedding day, it's not about you or any of us random strangers on RU-vid. But because she now likes it and might wear it on her wedding day, while the dress before alterations she wouldn't have because it's not her, it means they did a good job. And concerning mum, they wouldn't have even been on the show if she didn't agree that her dress will get altered. She knew what she signed up for. Of course it's emotional when they start cutting. But obviously she was also happy to see the altered version.

of course theyd pretend to be happy they signed up for the show but its funny because their faces actually reveals how unhappy they are, just look at.the mom she says wow.but she looked traumatized lol

@@Iv1309 this video is posted online specifically for the approval of strangers who watch TV. They did a garbage job, and I'm sure that if the altered dress was worn down the isle it would receive several stiffled snickers

honestly yeahh

Dee Sherlock same. she just hated the neck than cut that part out perfect but no she had to destroy it and make it unflattering

well if she likes it that shouldn't matter

marycielo arroyo I agree it's upto the bride but it doesn't look good on her. It looks cheap specially since the original dress was so pretty

Pink Heart it does look good on her. But the original did look better.

Everyone always wants to “sue” ugh idiots SMMFH

I actuelly would have remade it better, having the old touch but on a new modern lvl

Justgirlystuff 101 because some brides are bridezillas and don't care about other people's feelings.

Same thought.

Because some moms are so fixed on having their daughters wear their wedding dress instead of having the daughter get their own.

I mean when I was in contact with my mom she was hell bent on making me wear her dress. And I wanted to change it. I wanted to remove all the sleeves get rid of the high waist belt and completely change it. And even then I didn't know if I would like it. It can be hard to imagine what you would look like in the dress if it hasn't changed any. Though I totally get where you are coming from.

It's a show and it gets people to watch? If you hate then why are you watching it?

Exactly! Like all clothing, wedding dress styles change. Unless there's no other choice, no one wants to wear an old, dated-looking dress. But I did think this dress was beautiful in that brief moment that we saw it without the (pretty awful-looking 80s style) neckline. But I absolutely hate the fabric she added in front. Ruined it.

Kary J. My mom got married in 1980 and was a size 0, i couldn’t even fit my leg into it, I was so glad!!! 😂😂😂 My skinniest friends couldn’t even get into it. It was one time I was thankful that I was plus size and big boned! 🎉🎉🎉🙈

Agreed

Because it was traditional back in the day that you pass your wedding dress onto your daughter.

Kary J. Some are very classic looking. My mother’s is gorgeous. Ideally i want to wear my grandmother’s from the 40’s.

Chari I agree

Isn't it trail..?

Niharika Agarwal it’s a train

I thought it was trail

I know

Lyncitia got that right 😂

😂

They pulled it out of a grave for her to put on. It was dead before they pulled it out of the box

Looks like they bought it on Wish or something

That dress is most likely early 80s before the extreme sleeves and highly ornamented trains became popular.

Michele Nakamura My mother does not, but I do. My mom got married in 1987 and had a beautiful silk dress that I find timeless and perfect for my taste and style. When I told my mom I want to use her dress when time comes (I am not even close getting married yet), she was like No, you can buy something new and beautiful. But I still stand by my decision and I will proudly wear it.

If you look into the history of the white, one-time use wedding dress that women use today you may better understand; it's a relatively new tradition generally created and reinforced by the "wedding industry". 100+ years ago only the very wealthy could afford a white (hard to keep clean) wear only once dress. The was no 'middle class' like today and they just wore their best dress or borrowed a dress. Many wedding traditions today are relatively new.

Ivana Pesic - wait you’re going to wear your mums dress despite her not wanting you too?

Sophie - Trafotoz She just wants me to know that I have choice and no pressure or demands from her part about my choice (unlike some mother that expect their daughters to listen to their wishes about dress). I will 100% wear that dress the day I get married because I love the style and how it fits me and it is the one if I can be cliche.

Ivana Pesic - not cliche at all, I love “the one” & think it’s a beautiful phrase💜 and when you know it’s the one, you know!

Immortality Angel same

Yeah I liked the shear but now it’s just glossy af it looks tacky

Same, the higher neckline gave me grace Kelly vibes and I just thought it was gorgeous! The new satiny one looked like it was from a costume store

Agreed

Hello, that's exactly why this show offers a choice? Mother would like daughter to wear her dress, daughter doesn't want that, and this show first of all offers a compromise by altering mum's dress to something the bride might actually wear, and second of all gives her a choice between something old or something new, and obviously the something new is something they picked themselves. The mums on this show understand that their daughter might not pick their dress even after the compromising alterations. This is the concept of the show. This is what they agree on to be part of the show.

It absolutely is selfish and childish.

Caitlyn Dicroce that’s my teacher and her husband teaches at the same school as her and true!

Agree!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B3N7le75voI.html

When does a mother own their child? It seems like parents are just free charity... never becoming a parent.

Same 😑

Chari i personally don't like the old dress, so i guess the bride had a different opinion as well.

Chari same 😢

I agree! I thought the old dress was really pretty. The only thing about it i didnt like was the sort of V of material that fell off the back. I like the neck and the cap sleeves but the neck might have been itchy or so. At most I would have cut off the lace and then neck to open it up a bit but just left the general shape. They really ruined a beautiful dress :/

@@tess2082 If I were the bride, I honestly would have not invited mom if she kept pressing me about wearing that 80s monstrosity at my wedding. "But it's just a dress" ? Sure, but it also shows you can't respect that I'm a grown woman with different taste than you. What else would you try to control in my marriage ?

Great Halloween costume !

Billy Jeans The mothers know going in that their dresses are going to be re-designed. It’s the premise of the show. I have watched about 12 episodes and I have yet to see a bride choose their mother’s dress.

Consent was given when she agreed to be on this show

They give their consent when they sign up for this show. 🤷‍♀️ Mum would love to see daughter in her dress, daughter doesn't like the dress, this show offers a compromise. And you know what you sign up for. This show offers a compromise by altering mum's dress to something the bride would like to wear, but also give the bride an option of wearing something new of her own choosing.

@@Iv1309 the concept is not a bad thing, what I personally hate about that and is the sad truth is that they look horoble after that, and it's not about the desing, it's about the person who is doing it like a child! my whole class back then would have done that better, better quality! and that was our first year training as a tailor. (in German, Änderungsschneider) right know is my last year in this school, full 8 years of studie, I do my last training to become a "state-certified engineer for the garment industry" (Staatlich geprüfter Bekleidungstechniker), just have to pass the state exams. I'm going straight forward, I have done that much better! something she really wanted, without reducing the quality!

If she had just let her daughter wear the dress she bought she'd still have her old dress intact.

agreed

Deirdre McMahon you could tell the bride was not happy in her mother’s dress (especially in its original state). She’s happier in the new dress.

That's the thing. SHE HAS A NEW DRESS. Her mother's was borrowed. :(

She should have said no very firmly to hte old dress in the beginning, it would have been the kindest thing to do. Just laundered it and maybe taken a photo in it for comparison.

Me too. I actually like it with the high neck its so beautiful and timeless.

The dress is classic.

I think that's what a lot of the people commenting '"But the original old dress is better" don't get : It may be nicer to them but not to the bride. I agree with the bride in saying it's totally not my style, so we wouldn't be cajoled into being on the show in the first place. Ultimately, though, it's the bride that decides.
