  • 1954 Wedding Gown Restoration Part 2 (2 of 2): Rhonda's mother in law wore this charming and unique gown in 1954. Wait until you see the surprise! I guess if you really think about it, if you only had ever seen a black and white photo how would you know? I can't wait to see this one restored and back to its former glory! This is my first ever two piece wedding gown and I'm so excited.

    My first wedding attendance was in 1960 when I was five years old. It was a young couple at our church who also were moving into a new house across from us. Her wedding dress was a PINK ballerina length with a matching pillbox hat and veil. So fashion forward! She and her mother were expert seamstresses and always dressed smartly. My parents have passed and the homeplace sold but they still live in the same house across the street.

    Scallops up for proper balance. An amazing restoration. I didn't expect the yellow to come out of the lace that well, or the overgown to look so strong again. Well done you.
    One of the mist veautiful dresses I've ever seen in my 61 years.

    YouYou probably won't get to read this but just a comment on being a pink wedding dress. My aunty had a pale pink silk velvet wedding dress too, 1957. She tried white, ivory and several other shades. All these clashed with her pale complexion and gave her a deathly or very ill look. Even tho she was marrying into the catholic church, she chose to be daring and wore pink. Unfortunately the dress was thrown out after her death. 😢 I would have loved to restore it even tho it had 'moth' holes in it. Nobody wanted it..and it was so small that no one would have fitted in it. Such a shame as it was a very expensive item to only have been worn once. I love the way that some dresses get a whole second life thru restoration and a woman who appreciates its beauty. ❤😊😊

    I just started the restoration of a 2000 dollar Maggie Sottero gown that was sold to me ridiculously cheap because it was supposed to be damaged...she isn't...she is however extremely filthy so today is day two of the process... I want to ask how diluted is the bleach? There are some black stains in the lace that are being tough...oh and the smell that comes out of those dresses is priceless isn't it? I posted pictures of what this one did when she went into her fist bath...I love a purposeful mess

    If you will be restoring wedding gowns as a profession invest in a front loading washer. I've never had a gown fall apart or ruined in a front loader b/c it has no agitator. It uses far less water & saves energy. My front loader also sanitizes & steams my gown. Perfect every time no matter how old or stained.

    • @HobbyBobbins
      @HobbyBobbins  11 місяців тому +5

      It isn't about the agitator. It is about the strain to the fabric when wet. Even its own weight can be enough to shatter fragile lace when wet. Which is why I ALWAYS hand wash these types of gowns.

    Hopefully you are using hydrogen peroxide for bleaching the fabric. Chlorine bleach can have a detrimental chemical reaction to a variety of different fabrics and materials. Peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen leaving only the need to dry out.

      You may wish to try peroxide experimentally to see if it could become a viable stain remover in your arsenal of restoration techniques. Just a suggestion, but it doesn't have any unwanted, unforseen chemical reactions, so I highly recommend it.
      Working in a bathtub also presents its own series of drawbacks , but you rose to the challenge. I've been there myself, LOL. What a great before and after in this video.
