I can't believe how beautiful the remade 80's dress was, I was literally speechless. I hope she changes her mind. She looked like she stepped off a movie screen.
Both gowns were beautiful. If I were her if budget allowed, I would have got both of them. One for the wedding ceremony and the other for the reception.
she describes her mum as overbearing. It's not about the dress design at this point, it's about her wanting something new of her own. Making her own decision.
My hubs and I were married in the 80s. (Still married-40yrs) I’m so happy the mother and daughter could get the dress they each loved. May the new couple find health, happiness, and long years.
Her mother is so gracious and also hilarious. I feel like she's a little disappointed but she also fiercely loves her daughter and wants to support her. She wasn't about to make her feel guilty for picking something she truly loved . Young lady is beautiful and both the dresses
I loved the re-imagined 80s dress because it was different, and I thought it incorporated new elements on the design, too. The sentimental value was big for me. I liked the first dress but it wasn't unusual. The bride buy both - wear one at wedding and the other the reception.
Not a hard decision in my opinion. The “borrowed” dress….. the remake of her mother’s dress…… is absolutely Stunning! And it has what no other bridal gown has…… sentimental value. First…. It’s a custom original Second….. it’s her moms dress….. which her grandmother purchased. That’s a win, win, win…… in my opinion. Love it❣️
The finished borrowed dress was really stunning! I loved how many different elements were there and yet it was still all pulled together so neatly and uniquely. I would've loved to try it on myself!
I preferred the borrowed dress too. Custom made AND with sentimental value. The new dress looks good on her too, but it was pretty basic. And can we take a moment to appreciate that mom? I mean, it must have been soul-crushing to have your daughter pick something else, but she was still so supportive and lovely.
Well said. The new dress IS basic. The way that the new dress is viewed today is the same way that people viewed the mom's dress in the 80's. In other words, won't stand the test of time. It'll look dated in a few years. The borrowed dress was stunning and with meaning. Reminds me of Grace Kelly style. BTW, I'm in my 20s but appreciate good fashion even if it's from the 50s.
This will not be the hardest decision you will ever have to make. She looks beautiful and I am sure it was a hard decision. Many blessings to you and your husband.
It's a beautiful dress she chose and her borrowed dress was stunning as well. But she is surrounded by love and she knew she would be supported which is why she chose the dress that was hers and only hers. The reasons she loved the borrowed dress was for the sentimental value and those people who made it so valuable were there hugging her in the new dress. She's so blessed with such a beautiful loving family. ❤️
i thought she would have gotten the two of them. wear the remake borrowed one for the service and the new one for the reception. so what are they going to do with the remake one?
OH NO NOT SOMETHING BORROWED! 😱😱😱 they BUTCHER these sentimental heirlooms and half the time the bride doesn't even wear it. i cannot describe how devastated i would be if some stranger cut up the last thing my dead mother bought me only for my daughter to decide on a different dress altogether.
I know what you are both saying but my mum always says you should own your items and not let them own you. She will always have her memories. What a beautiful mum she has. I wish she would wear both dresses.
They literally handing it over hoping that she would wear it bc most of time the daughter wasn’t going to wear it regardless. Her mother knew that it would be changed and doesn’t change the fact that it would be stuck in dam storage most likely forgotten. Once in awhile they will choose it but the mother knew the risk. I mean It’s your choice to hand it over or you can keep shit but you shouldn’t let it control you. Cherish the moment and memories move forward. End of the day they are objects that will fade but you can appreciate it while moving forward.
I would think this was a no-brainer ! Off the rack versus custom designed with the added bonus of the history of the dress. I would have picked the other one, but it was her choice.
The new dress made her look like a show-girl--no illusion there! Also, the mermaid style is a bit overdone, as in common. The borrowed dress was beautiful with the sleeves reimagined and the off-the-shoulder styling in lace. The flow and shimmer of the skirt looked dreamy. It was totally unique, and oh so pretty.
The new dress looks just like what everyone is wearing. The borrowed gown was one of a kind. Nobody in the world will wear that gown. She made the wrong choice.
Sentimentality or not - she has a right to her OWN dress - like her mother did - and not feel bullied and emotionally blackmailed into it - I can never understand mothers like this - you had your moment - Let your daughter have her dream come true
She made the wrong choice; a wedding is not a “sexy” event. A marriage is a forever commitment between the husband and the wife but it ALSO combines families. Carly’s grandmother chose Carly’s mother’s wedding dress. This beautifully re-fashioned gown retains essential elements of the original dress and would be a way to include her deceased grandmother in the wedding. If she wants her husband to cry as she walks up the aisle, this would be the right choice. I, too, hope she re-considers. Here’s a thought. She could be married in the elegant gown (which cost less than 1K in alterations) and buy the new gown for her reception and party. A win-win!
Personally, I think the satin from her mother’s dress on the bottom aged her daughter. I prefer the first dress which fitted her personality much better.
Oh my goodness the recreated dress is stunning. She will get to have her grandma and momma with her. Either one is so beautiful. Tough choices. Love how they are supportive regardless of her choice.
In an age where a lot of brides have two dresses, why not take both! The borrowed dress at $800 was perfect for the ceremony and the new one was perfect for the reception.
As soon as I saw the friend I knew she wouldn't pick her mother's dress. The friend wasn't feeling it and it showed in her words and attitude. She described what she wanted and got it, she looked how she imagined she would, she spun around in it and smiled from ear to ear. I hope they buy both, because she may change her mind. Like everyone said, wear one to the ceremony and another one to the reception
It's hard to say which one I like the most, but it would have to be the borrowed one. I'm making this comment before she actually makes her decision. But there's just something about the generations that's involved in that dress. Not just the mom but the grandmother as well. Phenomenal. And she looks beautiful in whatever she wears!
Im at 6:05! I dont know which she picked but!!!!!! Were I her mom, I'd pay for the alterations to thee old dress & daughter should wear that to church... Buy the new dress and wear that to the reception. Win/win!!
I vastly preferred the new dress, but it seemed like she preferred the borrowed one. Not sure that she ended up making the right choice, but she did look beautiful.
The remade dress looks so beautiful and unique. it is custom made and looks so good on her. Bride looks beautiful. New dress looks beautiful too. that dress is not one of a kind like remade one.
I was blown away by how beautiful the borrowed dress was! Aesthetically that had to be the choice! But I understand that it might have been important for her to separate herself from her mom on this decision
She could have worn the borrowed one for the ceremony and the new one for the reception (if thats an option) She looked classically beautiful in the borrowed one. Also, hate the idea of cutting up vintage dresses, and just attaching a piece of it to a new one and call it "borrowed". In this case, the old dress got cut up for no reason.
It's her day she can pick what she wants. I saved my wedding dress in case I had a daughter but I didn't but if I did and she wanted her own choice I would have been happy with that.
I can’t believe her mother’s dress was destroyed for nothing. Even if she didn’t want to wear it, it’s a piece of history that should have been preserved. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and desires, but I’ve never understood why people insist on altering beautiful pieces of history. They should just make entirely new gowns based off the old ones while preserving the vintage dress.
I was so lucky my mother in law had her dress and let me use it. I didn't change a thing. Except I wore a hat with the most beautiful Amish dress. No buttons.
So sad she didn't choose her mom's dress. That one was perfect and sentimental. I don't think you should look sexy on your wedding day. You should be glamorous, which the nostalgic dress was alot more glamorous. I was really sad that they changed it and then she didn't even wear it. That was heartbreaking. She could see how much her mom cared about it. Then she cut it up for no reason 💔
The borrowed dress looked more bridal to me, the new dress more red carpet, but both were beautiful and she would look stunning no matter which she chose. ❤
“I felt so sexy, like a bride.” is the part I don’t get. It’s a wedding not a red carpet. Obv all brides want to look gorgeous, but I don’t understand body con and peekaboo for a ceremony that is about family and in a lot of cases, religion. Demure used to be the bridal look.
That repurposed dress is the best wedding dress I've ever seen, even better than Lauren's cape dress. The repurposed dress is my favorite dress ever. Now this pretty girl looks just like everyone else! Just a pretty girl in a conventionally pretty dress. Bo-ring! That borrowed dress...oh, that was divine! What a disappointment! What a shame. That borrowed dress was my favorite, my #1 dress to date. I've never wanted to be any other age before than the age I am, but I'm telling you what: if I were 25 again, I'd rock that borrowed dress. Rock. It. Time to hit rewind!
Zandra Rhodes. Of course. That second dress is very Zandra Rhodes. This will not surprise you: I got married in Zandra Rhodes. I always like the same thing!
I like the new dress. Personally i liked her mum's dress in its original form and not the redone one even though i wouldn't personally want to wear the original style. Too 80s lol

she looked stunning in both, and although her mom wanted her to pick the borrowed dress I love how supportive she was of carly’s decision ❤
Yeah the mom was awesome and very caring of her daughter. Other moms on these shows should learn from her example.
Would be nice to be able to wear the old dress to the ceremony and the new dress to the reception. She looked absolutely beautiful in both.
Yes I thought the same!
Agree!
This.
That is how I really thought this would end: the only correct solution.
That…indeed…
The naivety of youth : “this is the hardest decision I’ll ever have to make.” Bless her.
I thought that same thing!! 😁
Yeah
She’s got no idea what’s coming,lol.
Lol.
She is in for a shock. 🙄
I can't believe how beautiful the remade 80's dress was, I was literally speechless. I hope she changes her mind. She looked like she stepped off a movie screen.
I think she should change her mind and go with the something borrowed one, in my opinion.
That dress was still ridiculous looking. But we can pretend it was fine?
The new dress is more beautiful to be honest.
I agree
Both gowns were beautiful. If I were her if budget allowed, I would have got both of them. One for the wedding ceremony and the other for the reception.
I would wear her mom's dress for the ceremony and the new dress at the reception.
Totally agree!!
but why would you wear her moms dress.. ilol
That redesigned dress is the prettiest I've seen on the show and I watch ... a lot! congrats
to the designer.. beautiful style
The repurposed gown looked absolutely gorgeous; one of the best dresses I've seen on the show ever! It looked better on her than the gown she chose.
she describes her mum as overbearing. It's not about the dress design at this point, it's about her wanting something new of her own. Making her own decision.

The “borrowed” dress….. the remake of her mother’s dress…… is absolutely Stunning!
And it has what no other bridal gown has…… sentimental value.
First…. It’s a custom original
Second….. it’s her moms dress….. which her grandmother purchased.
That’s a win, win, win…… in my opinion.
Love it❣️
The finished borrowed dress was really stunning! I loved how many different elements were there and yet it was still all pulled together so neatly and uniquely. I would've loved to try it on myself!
When the bride picks the new dress, I always wonder what they do with the "borrowed" dress.
@@eller3452 To be fair, she was working off a dressmakers dummy with measurements. Most wedding dresses need to be tailored, as would this one.
I preferred the borrowed dress too. Custom made AND with sentimental value. The new dress looks good on her too, but it was pretty basic.
And can we take a moment to appreciate that mom? I mean, it must have been soul-crushing to have your daughter pick something else, but she was still so supportive and lovely.
That dress had sentimental value to MOM, not Carly! And it's Carly who's getting married, building memories and sentimental value of her own.
@@SuzanneU Carly herself said it had sentimental value to her. What are you on about.
Well said. The new dress IS basic. The way that the new dress is viewed today is the same way that people viewed the mom's dress in the 80's. In other words, won't stand the test of time. It'll look dated in a few years. The borrowed dress was stunning and with meaning. Reminds me of Grace Kelly style.
BTW, I'm in my 20s but appreciate good fashion even if it's from the 50s.
Absolutely beautiful. Her mothers’ dress was much more elegant
This will not be the hardest decision you will ever have to make. She looks beautiful and I am sure it was a hard decision. Many blessings to you and your husband.

The borrowed dress was GORGEOUS on her. I am disappointed she chose the new one 🥺.
Oh man, lol. The borrowed dress was STUNNING! Maybe she'll change her mind 😄
Can you guys use the logos from the shows that aren’t Say Yes to the Dress?
i thought she would have gotten the two of them. wear the remake borrowed one for the service and the new one for the reception. so what are they going to do with the remake one?
OH NO NOT SOMETHING BORROWED! 😱😱😱 they BUTCHER these sentimental heirlooms and half the time the bride doesn't even wear it. i cannot describe how devastated i would be if some stranger cut up the last thing my dead mother bought me only for my daughter to decide on a different dress altogether.

@@JazzM1357
Exactly.
I agree, and it always saddens me when something like this happens 😞
Definitely, the borrowed for the ceremony and the new for the reception!
What a gorgeous remake of mom's dress!!🩷🩷🩷
I love how supportive the mother was even though she really wanted her in the borrowed dress.
I would think this was a no-brainer ! Off the rack versus custom designed with the added bonus of the history of the dress. I would have picked the other one, but it was her choice.
It's not hard at all!Wear your Mom dress at the ceremony and the new dress at the reception!Both dress are beautiful!😍♥️♥️♥️
I’m so jealous of the talent to remake the dresses
I can't believe she picked that dress over the beautiful one, that was made over for her. She looked so much better in the made over one.
The new dress made her look like a show-girl--no illusion there! Also, the mermaid style is a bit overdone, as in common. The borrowed dress was beautiful with the sleeves reimagined and the off-the-shoulder styling in lace. The flow and shimmer of the skirt looked dreamy. It was totally unique, and oh so pretty.
I like reimagining clothes. I've been sewing for decades and cutting up and restyling clothes is the most satisfying thing to do in sewing.
The new dress looks just like what everyone is wearing. The borrowed gown was one of a kind. Nobody in the world will wear that gown. She made the wrong choice.
The borrowed dress is one of the most stunning pieces I've ever seen. Such class und thoughtfulness!! A shame but in the end it's her day.
She couldn't have made a wrong choice. Both dresses looked good on her.
she's so stunning in the new dress, I'm glad she picked it for her day
TLC would have kicked me out of the show, but I'd have chosen both, one for the wedding, another for the reception.
Sentimentality or not - she has a right to her OWN dress - like her mother did - and not feel bullied and emotionally blackmailed into it - I can never understand mothers like this - you had your moment -
Let your daughter have her dream come true
I love how the mother reacted to the new dress so selfless ❤
She made the wrong choice; a wedding is not a “sexy” event. A marriage is a forever commitment between the husband and the wife but it ALSO combines families. Carly’s grandmother chose Carly’s mother’s wedding dress. This beautifully re-fashioned gown retains essential elements of the original dress and would be a way to include her deceased grandmother in the wedding.

She could be married in the elegant gown (which cost less than 1K in alterations) and buy the new gown for her reception and party. A win-win!
Unbelievable! The borrowed was beautiful and a one of a kind. She was pretty in both.
Personally, I think the satin from her mother’s dress on the bottom aged her daughter. I prefer the first dress which fitted her personality much better.
Funny you say that as thought the opposite :) I thought the straps on the new dress made her look little maturely.
Oh my goodness the recreated dress is stunning. She will get to have her grandma and momma with her. Either one is so beautiful. Tough choices. Love how they are supportive regardless of her choice.
I’d be upset if my wedding dress was cut up like that.
In an age where a lot of brides have two dresses, why not take both! The borrowed dress at $800 was perfect for the ceremony and the new one was perfect for the reception.
I loved her mother’s dress after it was redone. I think it looked better on her. But in the end it’s how she feels, not viewers or family.
Her mum being happy that she chose that dress is so wholesome ❤
The remake of moms dress is absolutely beautiful
As soon as I saw the friend I knew she wouldn't pick her mother's dress. The friend wasn't feeling it and it showed in her words and attitude. She described what she wanted and got it, she looked how she imagined she would, she spun around in it and smiled from ear to ear. I hope they buy both, because she may change her mind.

But there's just something about the generations that's involved in that dress. Not just the mom but the grandmother as well. Phenomenal. And she looks beautiful in whatever she wears!
I'd go with the borrowed dress - such a beautiful makeover!
Im at 6:05! I dont know which she picked but!!!!!!
Were I her mom, I'd pay for the alterations to thee old dress & daughter should wear that to church...
Buy the new dress and wear that to the reception. Win/win!!
The borrowed dress is now bespoke - it is amazing. The other is typical.
Is it bad that I would absolutely wear the 80’s wedding dress?
Mom's dress is the hands down winner
Her smile is so pretty and contagious!
80s was a great decade best one ever!!!!!
4:47 Omg! This dress is stunning!
I vastly preferred the new dress, but it seemed like she preferred the borrowed one. Not sure that she ended up making the right choice, but she did look beautiful.
The SIL was loving the new dress but was so supportive while the bride was making her decision. I love that.
Can she just keep both 😭🥺💜
The remade dress looks so beautiful and unique. it is custom made and looks so good on her. Bride looks beautiful. New dress looks beautiful too. that dress is not one of a kind like remade one.
Wow. What a sad ending😪😢 as if she wouldn't choose her mom and grandma's dress after it was made for her I would have been so greatful!
I was blown away by how beautiful the borrowed dress was! Aesthetically that had to be the choice! But I understand that it might have been important for her to separate herself from her mom on this decision
Nah, the borrowed dress was ugly. Something not even 14 year old me would choose
She could have worn the borrowed one for the ceremony and the new one for the reception (if thats an option) She looked classically beautiful in the borrowed one. Also, hate the idea of cutting up vintage dresses, and just attaching a piece of it to a new one and call it "borrowed". In this case, the old dress got cut up for no reason.
Absolutely 😞
It's her day she can pick what she wants. I saved my wedding dress in case I had a daughter but I didn't but if I did and she wanted her own choice I would have been happy with that.
One dress for the wedding and her mom's for the rehearsal dinner.
Or get married in it and change to the other dress for the reception and dancing.
Her mother's renovated dress was WAY more beautiful, flattering and had actual history and sentimental value.
Idc, she made the wrong choice.
Wow wasn’t Expecting Mom to be so accepting about any decision she makes
I agree with the other commenters that said mom's dress for the ceremony and the new dress for the reception.
The something new is beautiful but similar to many brides the something borrowed is so unique. What a bummer.
The off the shoulder lace was beautiful
The hair of her sister in law is amazing !!
Absolutely gorgeous, both options; she chose well.❤
I love off-the-shoulder styles
This seamstress is magic, great what she made of the old fashioned dress
The borrowed was beautiful. A slimmed down skirt would fit more into what she wanted.
I can’t believe her mother’s dress was destroyed for nothing. Even if she didn’t want to wear it, it’s a piece of history that should have been preserved. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and desires, but I’ve never understood why people insist on altering beautiful pieces of history.

"This is the hardest decision that I'm ever going to have to make." Oh, honey...
I was so lucky my mother in law had her dress and let me use it. I didn't change a thing. Except I wore a hat with the most beautiful Amish dress. No buttons.
That custom made dress is gorgeous and sentimental.
You go girl!! Beauty comes from within, don’t ever forget that. You are a sweetheart!❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️ 💋
The borrowed dress was stunning. Maybe her friend should have butted out.
The borrowed dress looks like a sack with lace
Wrong choice 😕
So sad she didn't choose her mom's dress. That one was perfect and sentimental. I don't think you should look sexy on your wedding day. You should be glamorous, which the nostalgic dress was alot more glamorous. I was really sad that they changed it and then she didn't even wear it. That was heartbreaking. She could see how much her mom cared about it. Then she cut it up for no reason 💔
Her mom is just so darn pure ❤
I loved the old dress made new
The borrowed dress looked more bridal to me, the new dress more red carpet, but both were beautiful and she would look stunning no matter which she chose. ❤
This one made the wrong choice.
The remade dress was much prettier and more flattering
the remade dress was beautiful. I think she should be worn both. I would've worked my ass off to make sure I had money for both! 😂
I would never let them cut up the dress. I didn't like the 1st dress she put on but I did like the remake. she made the wrong choice
The designer is a genius👍🏻
My daughter wore that dress 22 tyrs ago without the ruffles and train.
Probably the best something borrowed dress I’ve seen on this show!
“I felt so sexy, like a bride.” is the part I don’t get. It’s a wedding not a red carpet. Obv all brides want to look gorgeous, but I don’t understand body con and peekaboo for a ceremony that is about family and in a lot of cases, religion. Demure used to be the bridal look.
NONE of the dresses were Liberace, Great Gatsby (or perhaps not very much), or Marie Antoinette.
Right? She has vocabulary but not a lot of understanding.
That repurposed dress is the best wedding dress I've ever seen, even better than Lauren's cape dress. The repurposed dress is my favorite dress ever.
Now this pretty girl looks just like everyone else! Just a pretty girl in a conventionally pretty dress. Bo-ring!
That borrowed dress...oh, that was divine!
What a disappointment! What a shame.
That borrowed dress was my favorite, my #1 dress to date. I've never wanted to be any other age before than the age I am, but I'm telling you what: if I were 25 again, I'd rock that borrowed dress. Rock. It.
Time to hit rewind!
Zandra Rhodes. Of course. That second dress is very Zandra Rhodes. This will not surprise you: I got married in Zandra Rhodes. I always like the same thing!
She is beautiful in both, but Iwould have choose the borrowed. Marriage is for life, her parents has been married 25 years, good karma is important .
I love the new dress and it did make her cry even tho the borrowed one came out beautifully
I like the new dress. Personally i liked her mum's dress in its original form and not the redone one even though i wouldn't personally want to wear the original style. Too 80s lol
