Saving a Vintage Wedding Dress 

Oh my goodness?! I have this overwhelming urge to go to that store and SLAP that alterations person. You NEVER say that stuff OUT LOUD to a BRIDE. You buck up and say, "You look gorgeous, let's see how we can make this fit better". GAH! ...off soapbox... You did a GREAT job on this gown and I am so glad it makes you happy!

Oh wow. That satin is like liquid light. It makes me so happy that you saved this dress while still keeping the vintage vibe. Magnificent.

You did a magnificent job with that dress! I love that your husband was absolutely there for it. ♥️

You have very good taste in wedding dresses. I love how you altered the dress in a way that preserves its original beauty and even enhances it.

Loved the ending. I have a 1940s wedding dress with its original veil and slip. When I bought my house the owners left it in the attic. I didn’t know it was even there only when we started cleaning out the place for remodeling. It’s thick satin with such intricate details. Also looks handmade, not store bought. Keep up your sewing, I’m new to your channel.

The end of this video was so adorable, it put a massive grin in my face. Which I needed after a long day. Also, the seamstress shouldn’t have said that. Even meaning “this is going to take a lot of work to get it down that many sizes”, it was still an awful thing to say. She could have said “now, because we have to reduce the size so much, it might take a while, and it might not turn out perfectly”. That would be a decent warning. But NEVER should anyone say “you should have chosen a different dress”. That’s just not okay, and honestly, that was deserving of a complaint, especially given how it made you feel.

You. Look. STUNNING. And your husband is adorable, handsome, and you two truly fit one another. I can’t even begin to say what was my favorite.

You truly did this dress justice… it’s beautiful on you!!! May you live a long and happy life !!!!

What a beautiful dress ! So authentic, with a story…. Congratulations

This dress needed to be saved by you. It’s gorgeous & you looked stunning it. Thank you for giving it life once again. (And you & your husband are adorable together!) ❤❤❤

I'm very impressed by you for what you've done!!!! My mum use to have a large Spanish table. When she was moving the rest of the family nearly threw it away but I insisted on saving it so we managed to give it to charity. About a week later I found out that it was sold for £100 pounds so obviously I was really happy to find out about the Spanish table!! Awesome!!😉😊🥰😍😎👍

You look amazing and the dress is a show-stopper! It speaks vintage even with your alterations. The updates blend perfectly.

Wow the dress is amazing, you look beautiful in it!

This was ur 1st video that I discovered. Am hoping to be married next July & really want a vintage gown. I have been engaged 2x before & almost a 3rd time (le sigh). I picked out a dress w/ the 1st one from a thrift store & I was surprised that it had such an Edwardian feel. I'm open to anything vintage that flatters my shape. Hate the modern gowns that look painted on gal's bodies (shudders). '40s style gowns usually flatter my shape & I am wanting to try to semi recreate my g-ma's wedding from '47. But I am open to Edwardian too cuz there is a lot of stuff from the 40s that looks Edwardian at times, esp the leg of mutton sleeves or the broader sleeves.

He is a KEEPER! Y’all make a beautiful couple!

I had a wonderful wedding dress, unfortunately the husband turned out not so great lol. Yours looks like a lot of fun and you look beautiful in the dress!

Your man is one of the best ones… I loved seeing the bond you both have and the care he has for you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful dress 🙂

SAMANTHA. YOU DOUGHTED YOURSELF , BUT YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB. WELL DONE ,YOU GO GIRL PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK BEAUTIFUL GOWN . DIANE FROM AUSTRALIA ❤❤

I Love the Vintage dress !!!!! I would have worn that. So beautiful !

OMG this dress was PERFECT! And I absolutely love the green tie with the black suit! Bellissimo!!!

This turned out absolutely beautiful ❤. What a horrible thing to say to a bride 😢. She should've said it would be a while until the dress was done because of the sizing. I'm a size 2 myself so I know how you felt

Wow you have such a great sister for buying you your wedding dress!

Your husband seems like a goofball, just like mine. Congrats on that! And on making this dress everything you wanted it to be

I appreciate the work that you put into this dress & your experience from your wedding. I have taken a size14 wedding gown down to a 6 before. I also take moms wedding dress & make it fit the modern bride’s body & style. Thats a fun & intimidating part of my job. Thank you for sharing your experience & helping to remind me the impact of how i say things to my customers.

You have amazing sewing skills!!!! I love your channel. Please keep it up.

My goodness, you did an amazing job. The pictures from your wedding are beautiful. Remember, you’re beautiful

Wow! You look amazing in that wedding dress…….Gorgeous dress 🥰

Where you had to repair the rip in the neck/bodice top you could have added a cameo brooch to cover the repair. I know it was barely noticeable, you did great hiding it, but with the brooch it would not be noticeable at all, and a cameo would fit that style perfectly.

I hope your fella never loses his sense of humor and fun! Beautiful dress!

I would have loved a dress like this.

Your husband is so funny and so charming. You make a lovely couple.

Love it!!!!!🍾 Your story is one I think a lot of us can relate too.

GIRL.. you looks gorgeous !! Both dresses are beautiful. I really love your style❤❤❤.

It looked amazing when you finished it. Love the whole look.❤️

You did a beautiful job!

Simply Gorgeous!🥲💐

5:20 you know you can do this. Whoever wore the dress before you will love it.

If it's from the 1930s, is it real silk? Polyester hadn't been invented yet

Stunning!

The end result is so stunning.

Beautiful fabric.

Beautiful!!

Words can cut deep.

You are an inspiration!!!

Ok. Thats BEAUTIFUL!!

Amazing job!

Stunning 🎉

It’s stunning❤

❤ THE ENDING !!😊😊❤

It looks sorta like Lady Edith's wedding dresses from Downton Abbey with the way you styled it.

You made me laugh and cry at the same time❤

Oh my God this is BEAUTIFULLLL. I may choose one just like it for my big day+

Amazing!

It’s gorgeous

You did that honey! You look breathe taking! New subbie! 💙🎉

Brilliant!

That is without a doubt your dress!

Well, it came out amazing.

I love that dress.

That is beautiful

*Beginning of Sarcasm* Oh no you two aren't perfect for each other. Nope not at all... *End of Sarcasm* The bit at the end where you are taking photos and he is totally joking around and dancing with you... I can see why you two are together. You complement each other really well. Super sweet!

Very Beautiful

Amazing.!

Stunning! So beautiful. Did you wash the dress?

Reminds me of the Great Gatsby.

You look beautiful.What a cute couple

Fabulous, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Lovely

Magical beautiful

So fun❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow you are beautiful in it and it is beautiful

Beautiful dress! Is she for sale? I'd love to wear and use her ❤

My friend is getting married and wearing her grandmother 1960’s wedding dress but pearls are missing should I glue or sew pearls on to her wedding dress what would preserve the dress the best

❤️❤️❤️

🤵👰 Wundervoll 💞

So that's why you were stressed. That makes sense you had a "off" feeling with your wedding dress and that is considered the most important one of all.

Lovely but what ruined it for me is that you did not buy some real flowers!

OMG. You two look like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

Ur too negative. Be optimistic
