Turning Mum's Outdated Dress Into A Classy Modern Wedding Gown | Something Borrowed, Something New 

She IS a mom

I am from the moms era, trust me, we know the styles were an ugly, hot mess.

True I was thinking the same thing

Agreed. The dresses look too much alike tough. I would want something wild and crazy for the reception.

Agreed

Mia Anderson I agree!

If she put the best on the borrowed dress it would be perfect!

Hillary Smith shhhhhh don't tell the mom.

When they "remake" the dress they literally just rip it apart and use parts of it for the new dress. That's as far as remake that they go which is a rip off. 😂

I agree, you can’t lower the hem without making a complete new underskirt. I really like that they took key elements from mums dress without making it dated and I’m glad she went with mums dress

Hillary Smith agree

literally 70% of the new dress is made from new fabric.. i don't get the point

😂😂😂😂

Flávia F maybe because of the color? i think the new dress was also beautiful... i didn't like the back of the borrowed dress honestly.

Yeah I was honestly unimpressed by the new dress

Good thing I didn’t read the comments until the end

i totally disagree

Kat A unfortunately I did glance down at the comment as it was right at the top,I hate it when people give it away like I that in the comments before I can watch it for myself

And the lace looks cheap... The straps look weird. Such a shame.

Definitely needs some alterations around the bust area and the button loops need to be shorter

I always think that about the revised borrowed dresses. They need a better team to do the tailoring.

I think it would clash with the back of the dress.

Agreed. The new dress looked much better on her figure.

My mom wouldn't probably show up on my wedding if I ever do that

Rude but true. Her mom’s dress in its original state looked terrible on her. Completely drowned her and honestly made her look like she should be haunting a place. And I think the mother knows that. She even said that changes should be made to fit her daughter.

It's your mom, not a stranger, you can be open and honest with her. She could've been more polite, but it's not that big of a deal.

I mean everything she said was true. I didn't really think it was that rude, she could've been a little kinder, maybe, but the dress was incredibly ugly and didn't look like a wedding dress.

Totally. Thank god it worked out for the best. My first comment after seeing the beginning which I deleted was about the same thing... imagine if her mom said that about her *wedding* dress. She'd probably throttle her lol.

Astrid Birgitte Overn yes you are definitely old fashioned.

Then that's the kind of dress YOU should choose...

There's people who think sexy is showing skin, others think sexy is fitted and covered and some think sexy is how you feel. Just cause they say sexy it doesn't 100% mean skanky or showy it's all about how the person feels.

I think I can understand why a women would want to choose a “sexy” dress. Like if in her normal, everyday life she always dressed in something simple, she’d want to shake things up for her big day. I thought her dresses looked fine. They were form fitting, which fit her sexy criteria, but I still found them elegant. They both seemed appropriate for her body shape, and they didn’t look trashy. Like someone mentioned before, I think maybe you’re associating “sexy” with “trashy.” There’s some gorgeous, form fitting, illusion, sheer, etc. wedding dresses out there that would look great on brides and are still modest for the occasion.

That's you. Some people wanna look sexy at their wedding and there's nothing wrong with that.

Has nothing to do with being a "clone". It's about making a new tradition & strengthening the bond between a mother & daughter

The mothers are not upset about them not being a clone or whatever. It's about them ruining a beautiful and unique gown from the past. you don't fix whats not broken.

@Dormouse it's really interesting that we have this preservative attitude towards clothing now. In the past it was completely normal for clothing to be altered and remade constantly.

raihaji she was way too honest but she picked that one after all

raihaji dts y parents are after God ....they'll love you so purely for Everything and forever ...

Exactly thats so true.... She should have expressed her feelings in a more polite manner

She mocked the dress not her mom c'mon

Her mother knows the dress is outdated and probably wouldn’t choose the same herself if she was getting married today. How many times do people look back and think “my God, I actually wore that?”

Lacklustre? Not at all! I think it's beautiful and I can definitely see the original fabric in it.

Yeah but I think the belt going around the back will draw away the drama from the back

William Radford Bruh it's objectively bad. Like that's just not good sewing at all.

Mum rather over dramatic... and rude at the end when she said she loved everybody but didn,t include the male designer... l think he felt left out😟

Good question. I'd hate to see the dresses thrown away.

Robin Stalnaker hopefully they tailored and fixed it before the d day

What are you babbling

Eileen Mcdonald lolol but I think it should be more fitting..

This show is all about transforming these old, ugly, outdated dresses into beautiful new ones.

Seriously... Did not at all in anyway looked like the old one. It's more like just add the same fabric and change the look completely lol... It would be better to look for the same fabric as said and then get it stitched n let the old dress be it

@@nicorizzo5402 this show most of the time alters the dresses in a way that it's modern but it's still recognizable. I think the commenter just like me was just disappointed that there were no recognition points in this one. Even if they did use the fabrics from the old dress, there's just no recognition at all.

@@Iv1309 I've seen a lot of dresses on this show that looked nothing like the original but still had the same fabric.

Nicolette James Ugly? They’re never ugly. They’re a piece of fashion history that shouldn’t have been altered because now it is gone. They were never made to look good to someone like you or her, they were made to look good for the bride of that time period.

Yeah those crazy v's that go practically below the bustline ...oh ugh. I'm amazed on normal clothes that a woman could feel comfortable since it looks like it will just flop off and expose you, but as a fashion for a wedding dress seems just like you said: a stripper. And that is nothing against professional women who dance, i mean the connotation contrasting with *marraige*.

@@nq4733 yeah the old dress updated and more personal..extra special, for memories and photos with her dad and all the family, the dress just ties everything in lovely 💕

Mikayla Mac looks like something i’ve seen a weather girl wear

Layla Loutfi Agreed

I didn't think so. It was quite beautiful.

I completely disagree! It was very flattering and looks beautiful!

None Because she made straps out of her mom's hat and not the dress 😂😂

Lots of it actually. Look again.

Jenna Marie i understand... it was simply using just the fabric that was left... lol totally different style and you could hardly recognize it

annabelle7123 changing the style was the whole point.

it's just a dress...

Jenna Marie I think the thing they don’t specifically say here, is that Dad is dying. What Kelly did here, was basically make a new dress from the fabric of Mom’s. It means a lot to mom, to Dad, and to Amy. Mom’s original dress was very, very outdated. Definitely can’t expect Amy to wear the thing in it’s original state. Before they go on this show, Mom agrees that the dress will be dramatically changed, and that her daughter still may not wear it. Once they actually appear on the show, everybody’s on the same page. Amy looks fabulous in the remade dress.

The point is that she has a piece of mom's dress in her dress. The original dress was absolutely hideous.
