I sold my junior prom dress. But it was so rewarding. The girl had the same reaction I had when I bought the dress. She started crying because for the first time in a long time she felt beautiful. That's how I felt when I bought it. It was good to pass that feeling onto someone else.
At almost 5’7”, I’m a half a foot taller than every other woman in my mom’s family. I’m also the only one interested in vintage fashion, so it killed me to not take anything from my grandmothers closet when I was in high school, because our measurements are so off.
@Ingoc it is, idk why people are so surprised when vintage clothes fit later generations lmao it makes sense theyd have similar skeletal structure and can have them adjusted 💀
I just think it's fake I mean you can't believe everything you see on the internet what normal people have the privilege to keep a fifty-year-old dress in reality she probably thrifted these dresses and made them to fit then made up the story also who goes to prom all four years that's kind of weird too
@@nervousbabbs2769 It's obvious to take everything you see on the internet at face value, but you're definitely over analyzing this 💀 plus it's not uncommon to go to prom every year if you have junior or senior friends
Same, both of my grandmother’s were forced to drop out in the 3rd and 4th grade, respectively, as the eldest daughters to take care of the rest of their siblings.
My parents town didnt get a middle school until a few years after they had already finished elementary school n were working full time so they both only went up to 6th grade
My mom grew up in a rural town with not a lot of money so there was "the one" dress for all the older gilrs. It was stunning. She had on long white opera gloves, and this fit to the waist, then poof, big tulle skirt. She looked like a queen. Its one of my favorite photos of her ever. Unfortunately, she has no clue what happened to it. A few of her sisters wore it and it was passed around and probably given to another family and no one ever saw the dress again. I would have totally worn it if I could.
Honestly If you feel like standing out 100% go for a unique look. I wore my traditional cultural clothes to prom and everyone loved it. No one had anything like it and I didn’t feel overdressed bc there were ppl with literal wedding dresses on
yup, i went when i was a freshmen. but i think that was js b cus my school had allowed 9-12 grade to all go, otherwise i wouldn’t have been able to go.
Sure. It's a 3-4 yr age difference. Important for legal other matters, but if it's just someone that you've known forever and are friends with, you go so that they aren't dateless. Or embarrassed.😊
I borrowed a ball gown from a local theater 😅 put my hair up as an homage to girls putting their hair up for the first time when coming out into society. I ended up looking like a cross between the 1940’s Queen Elizabeth II & Anastasia. I stood out but looked like a Queen without the crown & everyone loved my dress. 😁🥰😊
Everyone at my senior prom said I looked as stunning as a Disney princess and my dress wasn’t even that fancy. It was a simple crimson A-Line gown with flowers. No one had a dress like it and it proved that I didn’t need the glitziest dress to feel beautiful. I guess I have princess vibes.
@@theroseofversailles NICE!! Go girl! I’m just happy was able to be savy/smart & not have to pay sh%# to look like a Queen. Kinda cheated with a side hair piece almost like a tiara. 👑
I wore my grandmother's kaftan to a dance when I was twelve, it was so different from what everyone else wore, I felt a little awkward about it as a kid but it's absolutely gorgeous. A decade plus later, I found it again and got to wear it for a costume recently!
@RoraHope I honestly didn't think it would! I'm six feet tall now and definitely Wasn't the first time I wore it, but It's actually just really billowy and kind of a giant box with tassels and arm and neck holes. The arm holes were a little tight to get through, but not so much that it put stress on the dress. :)
I think you and your Great Aunt must definitely have a strong soul frequency connection as you seem to both understand fashion trends and value the artistry of fashion thru the years enough to take such loving care of your old dresses! Enjoying this! Thanks for sharing your passion with others!
I’m guessing by looking at the comments that it’s common for other schools to let all years attend prom, but for us it was only seniors. I didn’t even get to attend my school’s prom before I left (I dropped out, don’t copy me 🥶) and only got to attend my boyfriend at the time’s private school prom. Which sure, it was fancy, but god was it boring. I knew nobody there, and there weren’t many people because they also only allowed seniors and their dates. It was really awkward 😂 not to mention, my date was quite the bore himself.
For mine it’s both juniors and seniors. They are on different days. For both you can only bring one person with you, they can be in any grade as long as it’s high school, and they can be from a diff school. We have a homecoming every year which everyone can go to, but we don’t have any other dances like semi formals.
I wore a dress from my aunt for a dance. It was so gorgeous black off the shoulder with a circle skirt and covered in copper shiny floral embroidery. Still my best dress
All the women in my family have very different body types and my moms side of the family (who was more fashionable) was pretty bad at taking care of and keeping their old clothes safe. I asked my mom recently if her mom had any of her grandmas old clothes and apparently they were all sold or thrown out when she died. Her house went to ruin when she started to get older and didn’t clean anything, not even dishes we had to use when visiting, and her mom is a clean freak (understandably so) and never keeps anything “unnecessary.” I’m pretty bummed about it lol
My mom had a bridesmaid dress from the 80s that I adored but she hated it. When I found it at 8 years old she told me I could wear it to prom. She didn’t expect me to still want to by then but I did! She didn’t let me. I still think that dress was gorgeous.
Your grandma has good taste! Wish mine had her taste, then I would’ve asked to keep her old clothes. Though I do have my moms jewelry from when she was a teen in the 70s.
I think it's amazing you and your great aunt still have all those dresses especially the ones from the 60s. I don't think my kept anything old lol. I wish they had.
I would wear the junior and sophomore dresses now, and I'm well past school years. They are so beautiful! I'm sorry that I'm rude, but who would let their highschooler out in that red dress? You were falling out of it.
Im sorry, but this is white people privilege. Most immigrants and black peoples older relatives rented or had to sell lost of their clothes in the 50s and 60s. Some few wealthy families may still have them but i cant imagine anyone having anything other than a wedding dress.

I actually wore my mum' prom dress for yr 11 prom - and yup, no one had anything like it.
Awww
Same but 8 wore my aunts
Same but I wore my aunties
What year was hers
I was covid year 11 and never got a prom, even after buying a dress for it 😅
The junior dress in white is to die for

This made my heart happy ❤
a hard thing to do kid .. good job ❤
Auntie had some serious style! Those vintage dresses are AMAZING

None of the women in my life went to school long enough to reach prom 😭😭
What about you?
hugs 🥺 i think my mom reached high school but was forced to drop out in her first year :,(

@AccClosedu don’t have to say it twice
My parents town didnt get a middle school until a few years after they had already finished elementary school n were working full time so they both only went up to 6th grade
1965 white dress was absolutely stunning!

Her freshman year was a whole SLAY
Looks almost exactly like my first prom dress, except mine didn't have any petticoats underneath it.
💀💀
@@MirandaDFE💀
Yes! They were both gorgeous! Definitely my favorite.
lowk looks like my qipao 😭
I am OBSESSED with your great aunts orange number! The colour and the silhouette are amazing 😍🥰
Agreed! It's so fun and pretty!
I liked it, but I feel like it would be better suited to a daytime event than a night time formal like prom
i like dress from 1963 the most. so pretty and yet so gorgeous.
I"m usually a vintage fan, but I love all of the modern dresses from this video! They're so unique and stylish!
Those dresses are so well taken care of!

I absolutely love the 1964 orange dress, super gorgeous. I could definitely wear that. Then the white one, simple yet very elegant and classic.
Your 2015 dress is so awesome. Would even make a great wedding dress.
2015 was my fave too lol
Damn y’all were going to prom as freshmen?
you just have to know the right people, I also went as a freshman. I have a friend that got invited when she was in 8th grade still too
yup, i went when i was a freshmen. but i think that was js b cus my school had allowed 9-12 grade to all go, otherwise i wouldn’t have been able to go.

@@veronicariske2481being invited as an 8th grader is concerning….💀
Right? Prom was only for seniors.
these vintage dresses are so beautiful
They are…something about 60s clothes, so modern yet with just the right edge of formal👌
Her style was so beautiful. I actually loved her dresses!!!
I love those vintage dresses!😍
Literally wore my mom's bridesmaid dresses from when she stood up in a couple weddings for prom! Would recommend doing this if possible!
Yes!! My mom has some really pretty ones, just need to make them a biiiit smaller but honestly worth it
How did yall go to prom freshman and sophomore year? Did you both have upperclassmen dates? Prom was only for juniors and seniors at my school
My Prom was only for seniors unless one invited you as their date
at my school only juniors and seniors are allowed to go to prom. you can’t even bring an underclassman as a date
@@lilyofthevalley05 Same
Same im always so confused
i went my freshman year because i met a junior in my german class, and he happened to fall in love with me aha
I love her freshman dress, I would 100% wear that!
Y'all are so beautiful !!!
I love many of the fashions of the 1960s....one of my favorite decades...Y

It was my mother's and tbh I just didn't have a dress in time 😂
How did it fit u??

I loved your 2014 & 2015 prom dresses, beautiful fabrics and very fitting for your figure 😍
that 1965 dress is soo pretty!!
Also I wore my Grandmother’s handmade dress from 1949 for my senior prom. I felt so special 🥰 and my date thought it was gorgeous!

Our school only had a junior year prom. We had homecoming dances and winter formals every year but only one prom
For mine it’s upperclassmen (juniors and seniors) unless you have a guest from the younger grades. Homecoming is for all grades tho :)
For mine it’s both juniors and seniors. They are on different days. For both you can only bring one person with you, they can be in any grade as long as it’s high school, and they can be from a diff school. We have a homecoming every year which everyone can go to, but we don’t have any other dances like semi formals.
We don't even have proms, or formal dances or anything in our school
My school has juniors and seniors. But people form toher grades can be invited (As friends or dates which i think is very weird)
Beautiful Beautiful beautiful....that's all I have to say is beautiful 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
the freshman white dress is so pretty i love the fabric pattern too
Your 2017 prom dress was so pretty. The color, the style, the shape and the length were all perfect. I loved it.
As a man, I will also be showing up to prom in my great aunts prom dress.
it makes you happy, do it!
I wore a kilt to my Senior Prom. I got the legs for it, though.
Slay, just don't stretch it out.
OK, but your great aunt’s senior year dress,absolutely flawless. I want that.
PLEASE 🙏🏻
Finding out you are younger than me is a trip 😂
Same
i graduated in 2013 so we wouldnt even have seen each other in hs 😬 i really did think she was a bit closer to my age
I made my dress this year for several reasons, and it was great! I love sewing and plan on making even more clothes
I can't believe she took such good care of all those clothes! ❤
The last two are stunning!!!!😮🫶
ima wear my moms prom dress one year it’s actually so pretty it’s blueish purple with a cool back and some diamonds on the top of it
My daughter wore her aunt’s prom dress to a Spring wedding and got dozens of compliments!
All of them are so cute,y’all have good taste

The orange one is absolutely gorgeous I would die for it
Her junior year dress is perfection.
My imm8grant parents who didn't go to prom because they weren't even in the country:
Omg I cannot find any modest prom dresses anywhere. I love the sequin one it’s so pretty on u!
The orange stripey dress... its AMAZINGGGGG
I got to wear the dress my grandma wore to my parents wedding to an award ceremony once. it's a prized possession now.
I wore my mom's senior prom dress to my senior prom! It was a beautiful pink crushed velvet regency style dress :)
That pale pink one with the cap sleeves & sequins/beading 🤩
The orange striped dress is to die for
YES. What a flattering fit too.

I absolutely LOVE your senior dress it's so gorgeous! I love the color so much too! I wish it was a tiny bit longer though but still very pretty
That white junior prom one is wow and I’m really digging the orange too with the bow.
I love your great aunts freshman dress it’s gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
They fit so well. They really extenuate your curves
The older women in my family were too oppressed to go proms and shit like that 😂
I think it's amazing you and your great aunt still have all those dresses especially the ones from the 60s. I don't think my kept anything old lol. I wish they had.
The freshman and junior 60’s dresses are soooo pretty, I’d wear them now
How is nobody talking about her great aunt being alive in the 60s and looking young as hell.
