I love how you think of people with lower budgets. There is no snobbery at all and that is lovely.
I will say, though, that the price tags in her boutique are usually still out of my range. The cost of vintage pieces has risen significantly.
It is a lot of work to find quality vintage so i always take into account peoples time
@@spotydog22 there is certainly that aspect. "Well curated" takes time and effort, and it's fine if the prices reflect that. :-) The only thing is, if it's made out that "vintage" is for the thrifty shopper on a budget- well, only if you had a lucky find in a charity shop. In _Doris' shop_, you are buying _art_. :-) Though the $200 for a wedding dress was an affordable option ... but that's the one I didn't like at all! ;-)
The King's Daughter over recent years there has become a definite distinction between ‘thrift’ and ‘vintage’, the days of coming across something stunning in a charity shop are long gone. Donated items are checked, and researched before possibly making it to the shop floor, anything ‘special’ is then put to one side and advertised in order to increase the amount of money raised.
Anyone else find her voice to be so soothing? I get so excited when she posts new episodes. Would love to see an episode on women’s pantsuits!
David DiGenova - Yes, I found Doris's voice and cadence here very genuine, reflective and lovely to listen to. She exuded happy vibes handling, and explaining, the features and fabric of each garment.
Oh, the Edwardian period piece is simply EXQUISITE!!! I could sit and look at the detail on this piece all day!! ❤️
I love when people were unusual wedding dresses! It is such a chic and fashion forward statement!❤❤❤❤❤
I would like a Doris’s favorite pieces in her own closet ! Because she dresses so fabulously and has amazing shoes 😍
Uuhhh that an amazing idea.....!!!! Yes doris you should...
Me too! 😁
she's iconic
I would love to go to her house and see what she has in her closet!
Email her. She said in this video UA-cam questions they can’t get to but they read emails.
My husband's grandmothers both wore champaign pink gowns when they married in the 1930's, and I understand that pink liquid satin dresses where the height of fashion in the 1930's. My own grandmother wore a navy blue suit in 1940 because it was wartime and white fabric wasn't available for love or money. I asked her if she was sad she couldn't wear a white dress and paraphrasing what she said to me, "I wanted to marry your grandfather, not the dress, so no, it didn't bother me at all."
The Edwardian Irish crochet dress is so stunning. It looks straight out of the recent collection of Alexander McQueen (which I think was inspired by Irish crochet). Like that dress perfectly embodies the vintage-ness of clothes: romantic, nostalgic and yet still feel very modern.
Omg that Edwardian dress!!!
I literally gasped when you pulled out that Edwardian dress. Sooo beautiful! I would love something like that for my wedding
That Edwardian one is an absolute dream
I just love listening to her. It makes me totally relaxed plus I live the fabulous collection of gowns.
What I love about your channel is that I feel like I'm right there in your store and you're giving me a private tour of all your most precious items. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀 Love your channel ♥️
The Edwardian dress is gorgeous. I worked in bridal in the 80s. There was a company called Susan Lane's Country Elegance that made gowns in that style. They were beautiful. The peekaboo bodice of the Malcolm Starr is fabulous. The 90s museum piece has gorgeous lace. Reminiscent of watteau. The Juliet dress! The 70s boho! You're killing me here. The cotton lace table cloth with pants. I love it. The wax pearl headpiece reminds me of the pieces the store got from Mexico. I worked in CA and we did a lot of ethnic weddings and Quinceneras. I love the lattice work yoke of the McFadden. Fortuni pleats need to come back. I also like what you are wearing. I just discovered your channel. Subscribing.
Love this, weddings have become so generic and these outfits would definitely be original and have history, designed by legends. I'd love to see an episode on designer hand bags of different ranges. Love your channel Doris, only discovered your videos a few weeks ago, i love how kind and knowledgeable you are.
If Doris says it's "fabulous" you know it is! I love seeing her excited about some pieces!
I love you Doris! Thanks for making my day :)
I would love to see some 30&40’s styles
Doris, this was as glam as casual wedding wear could be, love the Raphaelites gown and the 90’s gown. In such great shape. Maybe one day by youngest daughter will come to find her gown. Vintage is her life!
French brides were wearing wax flower crowns starting around 1900s.... they are still available today.
Doris, you have an amazing style. It’s always such a treat when you let us know who you are wearing in the videos. peggy 👗 👠💙
I've been looking for a wedding dress, and bridal fashion right now is so... identical. I would love a dress that is classic and with a higher neckline. Thank you for showcasing pieces and giving me the push to find a vintage gown!
Thank you. Self isolation has given us time to view videos we don't usually have time to find. Glad I found this one.
The May Day dress❤❤❤
I love the Edwardian one, it’s gorgeous, I’d wear it in a Heartbeat. My wedding dress was like the 70s dress only in pure white, i married in 1978
I am so JEALOUS!!! Yesterday, I celebrated my 41st wedding anniversary and I so desperately wanted something like the Edwardian dress you showed, but there was nothing like that to be had. What can I say, I was born at the wrong time and we need you to open a second store on the East Coast! Pleeeeeeease
MORE, MORE, MORE... I LOVE THIS
DORIS I adore U! please more morew episodes!
Hi Patricia. We are working on it. Thanks for your enthusiasm. ❤️
these are beautiful. My favourite is the de la Renta gold lace gown! Love being able to get designer at low prices! I have been binge watching "Say Yes to the Dress" and honestly I would not want to spend 2 month's salary on a dress I can only really wear ONCE!
I wish that 1) there were more vintage shops where I'm from, and that 2) they came in sizes that fit me :( I'm short (5") and considered plus-size (like a UK 14? so the "smaller" end of the spectrum). While it's not too hard to find clothes I feel good in, it also means a lot of fashion is "closed off" to me just because of size. Looking through the website, many of the gorgeous dresses are too tall/ slim for me.
Doris I been watching you for the past few years I love your videos I love the clothes
Hey darlingly Doris🦋Now I can't sleep because you showing me the most precious EDVARDIAN BRIDE DRESS ...so amazing ! I'm wide awake of pure hapiness. Stay free and stay wild.Thanks × 1000 miss.Raymond💜🦚🧚♀️
Lovely picks. I appreciate how thoughtful and kind you are in your descriptions. I have a question, or possibly an idea for another episode. Doris, would you please address vintage lingerie , especially nylon nightgowns and bed jackets? Thanks!
I LOVE ❤️ the Edwardian gown …. So beautiful
I wish I could be young again and could do my wedding day over . I would do things so differently . If only I could have my young slim body , porcelain skin and long brown hair back for just a day. I was so hard on myself back then. I was married in 1995 when puffy sleeves and big bows were in style. Next month I’ll be married for 25 years .and I don’t know where the time has gone. I enjoyed this video so much . The dresses are all so lovely.
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I'm 81, so you can imagine why I resonate with these classic looks! I plan on checking out your web site! Thanks so much!
Bridal industry in modern times is simply a grind factory of overpriced homogenized styles with boring cheap styling. Vintage clothing is fragile and delicate and often has suffered some degradation over time either in fiber or dye. It is a pleasure to see functional vintage in wearable condition.
My sister had a spontaneous elopement in Florida a few years ago and my grandmother was the one who called to order the cake and after getting the price for a small wedding cake she hung up and called back 20 minutes later for a regular small cake and it was literally a tenth of the price for the exact same cake. Flavor, size, decorations, everything was exactly the same but because it didn't have the word wedding in front of it it was cheaper. The whole industry is a joke.
I loved this video! I could just listen to Doris talk all day long about fashion. Always so inspiring.
I looooove how calm she is. Just imagine how wonderful her job is working with these amazing dresses and the stories of them
I have loved vintage dresses since I was a teenager
Thank you for making these!!!! Looking forward to seeing more! Love the show!
My favorites were the Grecian gown and the Edwardian gown. I loved the 'Juliet' dress but would prefer a lower neckline. I found a beautiful Monsoon slip dress made from white linen some years ago. It has a lace trim at the top and round the bottom. It was brand new and I got it in a charity shop for £6. It would be perfect for a special occasion or a wedding.
Doris, thank you so much for creating another delightful program. Your selection of creative wedding dress ideas is just what my spirits needed to distract me from cabin fever. I'm drooling over the Mary McFadden, Donald Deal and the dreamy Edwardian show stopper. In all the periods and styles you've covered in your programs, one thing is abundantly clear, you have a keen eye for timeless original design. Another excellent presentation. Thank you so much, I appreciate all you do.
I love the Lanvin piece (2nd dress shown). It's so natural, so elegant and yet so fun. I didnt realize there could be such variety in wedding dresses! Thanks for the informative video.
This was a treat. I personally find Bianca-esque pantsuits, meticulously tailored in opulent fabrics to be the chicest wedding attire, bar none. Some stunning looks here!
I absolutely am in love with your channel. I love your knowledge. I am totally vintage. Please keep educating us. I especially love your videos about the fashion jewelry of the old Hollywood. Great channel!!!!
I just love that you're doing these videos Doris! I kept re-watching the clips from your show.... Your taste is obviously impeccable, and its really fun to see all the amazing pieces of art. I love the vintage tags!
Oh that beautiful Mary McFadden
Im always amazed that white garment pics are shown (if you can see them) on a white background-lovely dresses
Everything is so beautiful!
Beautiful and romantic episode.
Enjoyed the wedding gowns. ❤️
breathtaking dresses!!!! 💙😃🤩 thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thanks Doris for your love of vintage and for sharing it with us. I collect vintage wedding attire (as well as other vintage🤣) and have even scored a 1930’s piece which is me favorite. Keep up the great work. Please know that whatever you show is interesting and always a showstopper 🌸❤️
Oh what is Doris wearing? its gorgeous but truly gorgeous! look how it makes her shine amazing
Yes VJ, she looked chic, comfortable and authentically herself in the white, apron pocket top.
Thank you for the video Ms. Doris. I'm very excited every time you post new videos. Hope you feature anything you have related to men's wear. God bless.
I have seen several pant designs recently, but they were custom made. The brides wanted them for comfort and uniqueness. I agree with the comments regarding how boring the wedding dress industry is regarding selection. By watching this video I hope it inspires designers who are up-cycling to include wedding wear.
Beautiful pieces.
I absolutely love seeing your videos and hearing you speak about vintage clothing. You are my favorite!! God bless
Thanks so much Amanda. It’s easy to do when you are passionate about the subject!! Thank you for your support and interest!
Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 😍😊
Love the Edwardian Irish lace dress AND love you guys!
Love your videos so much! I always find myself drooling over the elegant and unique clothing you show. Thank you for taking the time to post on UA-cam. 🙂
Thank you. I love your show, and your price points - a beautiful vintage garment for all budgets. Please show more couture inside finishing sewinngs, Stay safe and healthy.
I love each and every one of these!! I can picture different people I know in each of these different dresses!!! Fun!!
I love how passionate Doris gets when she starts describing the pieces. Everything is just so stunning. The only thing that stinks is the sizes are so small lol
Would you consider doing episodes on foundation garments? I'm particularly interested in the petticoats/crinolines of the 1950's and what they wore under evening gowns to get that look. Also corsets and all that loveliness!
Loved the Irish designers Mary MC Fadden s gown and the Irish lace gown .Thank you
All the dresses are so beautiful and so much detail in ever one one them .Thank you.
Love everything you do!! Love old clothes and designs! Keep up the good work.
Oh, the 'Juliet' dress, it's so beautiful! Thank you for your videos. It is lovely to hear someone talk about and have an appreciation for quality fabrics and designs. I am waiting for my retirement in a year's time, to take up design and dressmaking again; I so miss all the hours I spent in my youth creating original garments for myself, before the children came along. You are cementing my desire to get fabulously creating! Thank you! 💕💕
I love that Empire one.
Love wax flowers!
I wish I would have gone vintage with my wedding dress. That was before I was into shopping vintage.
I'm new to your channel, so you may have already had this request. I would love to see some of the earliest pieces in your shop. Thanks for sharing your expertise, and obvious love of vintage clothing!
I am SO happy to see this channel! I've watched the forckstars episodes dozens of times but it's so nice to see new and fresh content from you. -Especially without the reality tv "filter" and storylines.- Thank you for continuing to be a wonderful source of inspiration and education.
I would like to see some plus size vintage fashion if you have any.
YES!! Me too
Charmaine Eng Bless you , I feel sorry that you think UK cater to plus size people , people who live here think it’s pretty rubbish lol 😝. It must be horrendous in your country then ?! America seems a lot better , though I’m sure people from there , don’t think that either . 🥺 My dream is plus size Vintage . 😢
@@juliewilson3237 oh! No its more that I am more likely to find clothes in my size in the UK compared to back home. It's not quite horrendous but options (esp for dresses) do become limited as sizes run on the smaller side. I have solved this problem somewhat by adopting a "uniform". I buy black work slacks from M&S and blouses from Uniqlo. And for casual wear, t shirts and wrap skirts. Not very exciting, but easy.
I spent the better part of the 80s looking for plus size vintage. Overall there were not many fashionable options for young women sizes above 16 until around 1980. Larger clothes were styled for older women. Try vintage style reproduction- get the look but not the hassle.
That would be very hard to find given that women back then were in general rarely overweight and also had a smaller frame
Beautiful garments, thank you for sharing Doris
My favourite was the Edwardian piece, stunning
Love from Marie in Ireland x
Stay well x
Love your dress Doris
Omg I love these dresses. I would love to see if plus size clothing is even available for vintage. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for gracing my life with design excellence, your vision, curiosity, intellectual and sensual understanding of clothes and beautiful presence.Blessings to all on your team
I'm not into fashion at all but I really enjoy your show. It's like you're giving a really interesting history lesson on each garment.
The dress you have on is out of this world. You look amazing.This was fun. Thank you.
This video popped up this morning, a welcome snippet from the early,well,
Loveeee the pep dress! Its timeless. Can easily add short wrist gloves and a hat, even for an out door wedding 🖤💯
произведение искусства...ШИКАРНЫЕ!!!!!!
I wore " candlelight", thought I looked better in it than white.
Mz Doris, I love what YOU’RE wearing here, as well as what you show us. Thanks very much!

Your vids let my mind fly all over history in the variety of all of the styles. And, the way you present them is soothing. You always make my day better, and I thank you for that.
I love the store, and the storied tales that come along with the pieces!
Love Mary McFadden. I have 1 dress of hers. Thank you for posting this most interesting piece on wedding dresses. Nice change during quarantine here.
My Mother wore navy blue velvet dress with hat and matching shoes and gloves, 1950 October.
Always love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! A true treasure!! 💕
