Trying on vintage wedding dresses 💜💜💜

[robynclark]

to make vintage dresses fit and look right, you’re best off wearing the underwear from the era. They are created with such specific structure and shape that if you wear modern underwear it often make them look unflattering x

Oh man I want that second one!! It was incredible. So much potential.

[sarav]

the second dress was quite pretty, just needed the appropriate structural garments to provide shape and silhouette

The second one might be made out of parachute fabric. Women would be sent parachute silk to make their wedding dresses from due to fabric shortages, sometime in lieu of wedding bands. You can't get much more sweet and earnest than sending your loved one something that literally saved your life to make their gown from.

The second one is a DREAM!!! I wish I had picked something like that for my wedding.

You looked like a princess in the first one !! It's a shame it didn't work out, but oh well that's vintage shopping.

I thrifted my wedding dress. It was about 30$ and from the 40s. It was the first dress I tried on and it truly fit perfectly.

That first one is beautiful! I bet it was amazing when it was new!

[yairahyasmin]

the last one 😭😭😭 i can’t wait until u find one !

[marshatolbert]

Definitely keep looking for dresses from the 1950s. The silhouette looks great on you.

[MiscellaneousLucille]

LMAOOO I’m sure your future spouse would love that last dress 😂

[Kaleighlovescomics]

Garments from back then can often feel very ill-fitting now because they were designed to go over all sorts of weird undergarments. You can even see how the darts in the bosom are used to create a pointed effect that was probably meant to compliment some sort of precursor to the 50’s bullet bra

[TahtahmesDiary]

The 40s one would suit an incredibly thin and lithe figure....just imagine Tyla or someone similarly petite, but maybe taller in that dress. Not for me, but gorgeous ❤

[tbrown]

Ok. I thought the second one looked wonderful on her.

[MeikelLohse]

The one from the 50’s was beautiful on you!

[kated]

Please please don't be offended by this but that second one just wasn't meant for your body type. It would be stunning on a diffeent body. FYI none of those were meant for my body type so I'm not shaming in anyway. Just some dresses aren't meant for certain body types and there is nothing wrong with that.

[Soldrakenn]

Perhaps start bringing a tape measure? So you don't need to try to squeeze into way to small garments.

The first one made ME want a wedding dress from the 50s 😭

[Sara-xkns]

You are one brave human. Putting your body out there is already vulnerable enough but to me it’s the mental torture of trying on too small clothes over and over. Even knowing how f’d sizing is in women’s fashion it still messes with my head. To do both at the same time, you deserve a medal. Seriously. And thank you for sharing such amazing pieces of history. Even if they make me feel like a whale I can appreciate them and the pieces of art they are.

That second one is my dream wedding dress😢😭
