recycleretro So cool that this 47 year old wedding dress lasted all these years and has such a cool story behind it

Sep 14Reply

littlegypsie @recycleretro Aww- thanks! I'm so glad my grandmother tucked it away in my mom's hope chest- where is stayed for 47 years. My mom just recently passed her hope chest onto me. I asked her if I could sell the dress- and she was really happy that I wanted to find someone who could wear it! Thanks for noticing!

eclecticthrift This is very similar to my mother's wedding dress. Her & Dad were married in 1968. Sadly, I have never laid my eyes on the actual garment .I love this!

Nov 19Reply

littlegypsie @eclecticthrift Thanks!! It is so pretty! I just love the styles back then. My grandmother kept the pattern package for a long time~ all of those dresses back then would look just as beautiful today! And, I'm so happy that I can find a buyer for my mom's dress!

caramia1500 This is darling! Almost my mother’s exact dress in 1968!

Apr 03Reply

littlegypsie @caramia1500 thanks! I love the style of this era 💕

Apr 03Reply

caramia1500 @littlegypsie I’m wondering if they used the same pattern. I’ll have to ask my mom, but it’s incredibly cute and I hope you pass it on to someone who loves it❤️❤️❤️

Apr 03Reply

caramia1500 Oh and your closet is incredible.

Apr 03Reply

littlegypsie @caramia1500 It could be the same. My mom said the lady that made it for her owned a local boutique/dress shop where she custom made wedding dresses and formals. It would be so amazing to go back in time and walk into her shop! And thanks so much!- Your closet is beautiful as well! 💞

littlegypsie @asteppe1 Hi, she is very Tiny. Back then- I think she was around 4'11 and maybe 95 pounds, but now, she's around 4'9. I think she looked like a tiny little doll :)

campbellsoup13 this is precious, Omigod I love it. keep this for yourself!!!!

Jul 07Reply

littlegypsie @campbellsoup13 thanks so much, it really is so adorable. My hubby and I can't have children, so I asked my mom if I could sell it to someone who would wear it, and she's fine with that. It's so tiny, so I may never find the right bride. I have considered having it framed to hang in my closet at home, I may eventually do that :)

Jul 07Reply

campbellsoup13 @littlegypsie I was actually going to suggest that it would be so beautiful framed in shadowbox. my daughter saw it and loves it she is very petite I am like an Amazon woman next to her. she is the perfect size but I can't right now. I just wanted to tell you how absolutely beautiful it is. you and your mom are so precious!!!!!

Jul 07Reply

littlegypsie @campbellsoup13 awe, thanks, I know my mom will appreciate reading that too :)

Jul 07Reply

campbellsoup13 @littlegypsie you are very welcome. also on the child topic good luck with anything you and your husband decide to do in the future when it comes to that matter. stay happy and healthy. this is a great big world and its good to see we have some wonderful people in it like yourself. ❤❤❤❤ xoxo

priddypenny did this sell?

Oct 29Reply

littlegypsie @priddypenny hi, no. I took it down due to the massive “low-ball” offers. If I re-list it, it will be on Etsy or a platform where I can turn off the offer feature.

Oct 29Reply

priddypenny @littlegypsie oh! ok! thank goodness! im getting married and this is THE DRESS. ive just been biding my time and saving my money. when i thought it was gone i found as many vintage patterns i could that would come close thinking maybe i could be like your mom 😊 make my own. let me know when you list it on Etsy. i am smitten over this dress.

Oct 29Reply

priddypenny @littlegypsie $300 is not expensive for a HANDMADE WEDDING DRESS and for this beauty?!?! unbelievable.

Oct 29Reply

littlegypsie @priddypenny oh my goodness, well I'm glad you asked! If you want, I can mark it for sale for you. I don't know how small you are- but my mom was tiny- so be sure to check the measurements. If you needed to have it "let out" in the chest or waist- you would need a professional seamstress to do it for you.

Oct 29Reply

priddypenny @littlegypsie i cant believe you would do that! i wont be able to purchase it until next week, though. close! but not yet...

Oct 29Reply

littlegypsie @priddypenny Ok, just let me know. This is be so wonderful to know my mom's dress will actually be worn again!

Oct 29Reply

priddypenny @littlegypsie i would be so honored to wear it. I CANNOT WAIT!😍😍
