- 2nd Goodwill Thrift Try on this halloween season. Years ago I started trying on wedding dresses at thrift stores for fun, then I learned they hoard all the best wedding dress collections until halloween thrift store season which starts around September 1st at Goodwill and Savers (or Value Village), so I made a point to hit them up first thing beginning of September! Last year I recorded it with my mom and people have really enjoyed it. So I hope you do too and if you want more videos like this see my playlist called "thrifting" where there is at least 4 vintage wedding dress try on videos. God bless you and comment your thoughts down below!

![I BOUGHT MY WEDDING DRESS AT THE GOODWILL OUTLET BINS! [ SHOP WITH ME. ]](/img/n.gif)
Late 60s, early 70s for the Victorian style. I am 73 and that would have been my choice had I had a church wedding. My husband and I chose to do something less elaborate. I would have chosen a big fancy derby-like hat with a very to go with it. My bridesmaids would have worn something similar and carried parasols. I had it all planned. I have never been disappointed that I didn’t have that wedding and recently celebrated 50 years of wedded bliss.
We daydream about elaborate things but its wisdom that reminds us that simple is just as sweet sometimes.
I was married in 1973 and had a very medieval looking dress. A few years ago I thought I'd try it on and couldn't get it past my shoulders, so I tried to step in it and got just past my knees.
Love the drop waist modern one on her, really pretty and flattering on her body👰♀️
I really liked that one too.
the last one features a Watteau ...the almost cape-like part that comes off the back...THAT WAS MY FAVE
Va Va Va Voom! The David’s bridal halter style dress looked fabulous on you! It was so classy and elegant!
Love the drop waist one. It’s classic and timeless. The first one was super gaudy had every embellishment you could think of on it.
I was saying exactly the same thing. A much older friend of mine wore something similar back in the early 90s when she married. They threw everything at that dress: ruffles, sequins, lace, pearls, diamante, ruching, puffball sleeves, an enormous skirt with nets and a huge crown topped with tulle shooting one foot off the top of her head. She's only 4"8 and I think wanted to make sure everyone could see her. 👰
@@Nemie125 she had to look lost in that honking big dress. Less is always more especially if you’re petite like your friend.
I love this mental picture. She had to have had a good personality to really *own* such an ensemble.
As for the third dress goes, my guess is it is from the 1970-80s. That was when Jessica McClintock clothing was popular. This dress reminds me of her designs.
Reminds me of Gunne Sax as well.
The dress with the straps was a perfect fit and beautifully simple. A veil would make the dress very elegant.
Oh my that Chantilly lace dress looks just like mine...everything is the same. I got married 1984.
This was fun -thank you for modeling these dresses. You have some amazing thrift stores. I hardly see anything like this in my neck of the woods outside Dallas, TX. I like the drop waist the best (but a little too low cut) however I go for simpler silhouettes. The ruching was very flattering. You look beautiful in all of them. I am a few sizes larger than you and am always looking for shapes that make my curves look slimmer. Fashion is so interesting. I made my own wedding dress in the early 1970s. Very simple -empire waist, plain straight skirt silhouette, no lace, the middle panel was made from some beautiful brocade to stand out from the rest of the simple fabric. I didn’t wear a veil. Had my hair up in a French twist. This brought back those memories. I can’t believe I was that ambitious with a sewing machine back then.
The last one looked like mine I 1978..... I always liked my dress..love this video too!.. A gal in Texas............
I love old wedding dresses.
The dress from the 5:50 minute is beautiful.
I love dresses with long sleeves and buttons in the back.
keep showing these dresses you are great
How much fun it is to see these dresses again. I remember that first dress because it was a great seller. Around the mid to late 80’s Sposabella made a version of it in a mermaid as well as a ball gown style with a massive train of bubble ruffles. If you had a 20 something bride it was almost a for sure sale. That last one reminds me of the late 60’s and probably inspired by Zedferillis Romeo and Juliet which premiered in 68. That David’s Bridal gown is very unique and would have been difficult to sell in most regions. Sometimes our buyer would buy a one off like this and we wouldn’t be able to sell it even during a sale with a steep discount. That’s why you might find some dresses that seem brand new. There were most likely donated after repeated sales that didn’t sell.
Thank you for contributing all this info. I love to hear from people who have industry knowledge. Make sure you see my other 3 thrifted wedding dress videos. They're in a playlist called "thrifting" on my channel.
You lookdarling in all of them. I think I liked the drop waist and afew more best. Decisions, decisions!
3rd dress late 70's, halter top the 90's and the last one definitely the 70's that was the style when I was in High School.
I was humming the theme song for Little House on the Prairie when I saw you wearing the Prairie wedding dress.
The 4th dress with its Victorian style is very much like the Gunne Sax dresses of the later 70s and early 80s .😘
Beautiful
Your last dress is the same style as my wedding dress that I made at 18. My two daughters wore it for their weddings
What a beautiful gift both your daughters were willing to carry on! I would love to see pictures if you feel comfortable emailing them to me at thissideofthefirmament@gmail.com.
My friend got married last December and she bought a dress at a thrift store. She worked with a seamstress to re work the gown and they created a beautiful new dress together. Very creative idea.
Kudos to your friend!
The 1968 Romeo and Juliet movie inspired the styling of the last dress I believe. I was married in 1972 and remember this style being popular around that time. My sister in law had one reminiscent of that style, but very simple. My dress had an empire waist and the high train attachment in the back, which was removable for the reception.
My sister's dress was much like the last one. She married in 1979.
I used to love going to the Op Shop with my bestie and making up stories about the wedding dresses
That first dress I can see things cut off if it to remake other things. So fun!
Last one 70's- one before was 90's good choices!
Empire waist line definitely around 69 -1970. Had a prom dress like that with white top and light pink skirt with pink rosebuds sewn into top. Reminds me of early flower child clothes. Wow, that was age revealing. Loved the Victorian style clothes.
That last dress was absolutely gorgeous, I have a thing for 70’s wedding dresses.
Last one would be early to mid 70s, definitely!
Dress #3 The Victorian dress looks almost identical to my dress that I wore in 1991. The only difference was that on mine the sleeves were shorter. The lace at the end was just below the elbow, and because I'm 5'3', we added a hoop.
The last one is so similar to my own wedding dress.1978. My friend at church also had the Queen Anne neckline collar and she also married in late1979.
Yes #5 is Art Deco 1920 s also very chic and modern
1st Dress is 80's for sure! "For sure"! Lol. Right down to the bow on the back! Very pretty though, the ruffles on the bottom are too much but pretty somehow.😊
I love seeing you try on the wedding dresses, I've been married for 39 years. I was 17, and we went to the court house and got married. I might just buy one and renew our vowels.
I defin😅itely think you should do it. I'm 73 I've been married twice. Had nice dresses, but I've always wanted a beautiful wedding gown . I still look at wedding gown especially since I have 2 graddaughters getting thar age .
Oh goodness that first dress!! I would use those dresses to renew vows. So fun
Dress 2 was beautiful and when you think how much it was likely to cost $50 is not bad. Dress three 1970
Dress #1 is from Married to the Mob. #3 can't tell. #4 is totally Bo Peep. #5 is like 1920's movie star. And #6, late 60's or early 70's. Very fun.
#4 is definitely early 80s during the whole prairie skirt era!! I well remember dresses like this!!
Dress number 4 really looks like the style that megan follows wore in anne of green gables. But of course this one is more fancy because of it being for a wedding. But the style really looks like annes dress.
Last one def 60’s flower child hippy
The first one looks like something Céline Dion wore in one of her many vow renewals in the 90's.
You should buy them all, then resell, a lot of women never think to go the the op shop to get wedding dresses
I got married in 1973 and I wore a dress very similar to #4. I still like that style!
❤❤❤
80's, 80's, 80's #4 70's
Actually the one with the little seams going down and lace on the bottom of the sleeves was worn to her wedding in 1993 by a viewer on here who can corroborate her story! The one we thought could be a historical reenactment style dress! So fun to read a genuine backstory!
I actually like the first one, as is
Love dress #3.
The first dress is most definitely 1980’s because I got married in 1989 and my dress was almost identical! Yes, do bring back the dangly pearls!
Can't count on the sizing as dress sizes have been changed over the years
❤
I like it except the top of the sleeves
Love watching this! 😍
Last one is very romantic.
Lovely. Namesta 🐞🐞🐞
I really liked the satin halter top one the best.
Last one - very similar to mine from 1978. Sleeves very soft and poofy
Chantilly lace was featured on my Wedding dress, though not this style.( My dress WAS in Victorian style, but designed in a much more formal manner. A gorgeous high neck, Satin 'leg of mutton' style sleeves ,Corsetted body,( corset inside to give the Victorian shape) Small pearl buttons down the back, A line skirts and a stunning train . NO RUFFLES OR LOOSE FABRIC ANYWHERE !! . I.saw my dress, in a Wedding Gown Sale ( God led us there , as we weren't looking for my Wedding gown that day!! As a child, I'd often draw a Wedding dress. Always the same style, and THIS was that dress!!!❤ ..) It fitted perfectly, as if it were made for me. Love at 1st sight, It was the only dress I tried on, and I bought it immediately, against my mums advice. I've never regretted it !! I love it now, every bit as much as I did then. We married in 1990
Oh I wish I could see it! Sounds like something I'd love too!
Love these video’s
Number 4 is screaming 70’s.
The dress #4 looks like classic late 60's early 70's Lorretta Lynn.
#1looks like something from the 1990s. ❤
The last dress has a Queen Anne neckline
I'm really surprised that these dresses aren't more yellow looking as old as they look. I think one would be pretty on a old dress form and have it in a room for looks.
People must keep them stored deep in the closet. Only occasionally do I find yellowed dresses. Some seem to be pristine and it makes me think they were preserved in the wedding dress boxes.
I live in Washington and the Goodwill here is getting VERY greedy. They are priced here for more than some cost to buy! Not unusual to see them in the $hundreds for old dresses.
Yes each store is different it seems. During the rest of the year I'll find them asking hundreds of dollars sometimes...it's only during this "Halloween" collection that they are below $50 for the most part.
@@thissideofthefirmament I have seen several videos on youtube of brides buying those at Halloween and then updating them for their weddings. One gal bought 3 dresses one for the high-quality satin and the other 2 for the lace appliques that were very similar. When her dress was done it looked nothing like the 3 dresses, she made it from. It was all over lace covered satin bodice from the appliques. she even made herself a headpiece from the extra. She was a talented seamstress.
I'd be interested to watch this video. Any idea who the creator was or the name of the video?
The high neck and queen Anne neckline are late 70's early 80's. I had one for my wedding in 1982
With tha Chantilly Lace dress you would wear a hoop underskirt to make the skirt of the dress stick out more .I used one under my wedding dress in the 1970s.
the satin one was dynamite on your small frame!!!
Dress #4 looks like it's from the 70's...the 1870's!
I came for the wedding dresses only to find you raise goats! Frocks and goats….happy place! The eighties poof is a hoot! What were we thinking?
Yes goats are souch fun! I also live on a small lavender farm. I make goats milk soaps and sell homemade lavender products. I love to garden and can food :)
It seems crazy looking back at it but honestly I would wear that first dress today. I wouldn't care what anyone thinks. Lol
The last one has a Wattau train - i saw that on Say Yes to the dress
What a shame that they are sold as Halloween costumes. Brides on a budget don’t know the gold mine they are missing out on!!
The last one looks similar to my dress with the Queen Ann neckline. I say late 70s.
That first dress is definitely from the 80's, and the company is St. Martin which went out of business years ago.
First dress I loved it
Second dress I loved it
Third dress I did not like it
Fourth dress I loved it
Fifth dress I did not like it
Sixth dress I loved it
the first dress 1987-1992, the Victorianesque dress I'd go with 1967-1975 (it's not a chantilly lace, its and inexpensive mass produced all over lace), the last one feels 1967-1979 (probably early because of the Watteau train attached at the back below the shoulders)
Of these the only one I liked was the one at 4.05, but due to your fair skin, I think you need a bolero jacket as just a little too much skin, but I do like the pearl detail on it and it fits you quite well.
I'm loving your observations! Make sure you see all my videos id love to hear your thoughts. I have 4 wedding dress videos under my playlist "thrifting"
The dress at 7:00 looks like a Gunny Sak.check the tag could be rare
5:18/13:16 and 8:32/13:16 give 90's runway - especially mid-90's. Some 90's dresses are interesting, because they have the puffed sleeves of the 80's,but are more pencil or sheath. They also can be beadless with a patterned fabric - I forget what the fabric is called.
The last one definitely looks like mid 60's maybe hiding a baby bump kind of a dress.
#3 is 70s
Victorian dress is 70s for sure, maybe into early 80s.
Maybe dress #4 had a hoop slip or crenoline?
I think you mean #3, with the collars of lace? Yes it might have considering all that skirt could hold a crenoline.
I don't like the big bow on the back. Where do you sit😂
top part of 3 is nice.
I guess the drop waist was too low for most brides, for davids bridal dress. I read the comment of the seller...
My Goodwill stopped carrying these things
😭
1. It has a nice siiloetteThe beads and ruffels are a bit much. remove the ruffels or leave enough for descent length skirt. the sleeve detail on the hands is beautiful. 2. for a young bride in a summer wedding it is super cute. 3. 1976 USA bicentennial. it reminds me of my home made white cotton eyolet wedding dress. No I did not have multi layered skirt. 4. Very nice the 90s. Could be modified and dyed into a great prom dress. or bridesmaid. I think the wearer was several inches taller. 5. I think 60s. The lace it damaged and needs to br removed, Kinda looks like the bride was expecting.. Maybe altered size 8. Not a bridal dress anymore. I love the style, if I were 45 years younger. I think it is an Elizabethan style. Dye it a medium to dark blue and let a 12 to 14 year old wear it to a cousins garden wedding.
The very last wedding gown was from the mid to late 70’s not the mid to late 60’s.😊
Drop waist looks like a little bit 1920s.
1 or 6, don't know what happened to #2 ?? 😊
That last one is very early 1980s.
Butt bow on the first is a bad idea
I wish you would say how much they want for them….just curious…
Oh I'm sorry, in my other dress videos we tried to make sure we said the price but must've have missed that on this day. I think this location was a little greedier than the other location I have some videos about.
Guessing 1st dress is mid to late 80's. Could be San Martin, who was famous for those ruffles. Aslo my senior prom dress was San Martin 😉
#1 is 1980's, #4 is definitely 1970's, #5 is late 2000's/teens, #6 is definitely early 1970's
The last weddings dress was closer to mid/late 70's with the wattue train.
I think you need a new camera lady, I would have liked a shot from far back of the whole dress, that would have been really cool 😊
Welp, the camera lady is my momma, and I wouldn't trade her for the world! I was inside of very small thrift store dressing rooms doing this, and while it isn't perfect by a long shot it is all the space we had to do the video inside off.
@thissideofthefirmament I gotcha, No disrespect to your Mama. I totally love the videos, I think the vintage dresses are so unique. You looked very cute in them as well 🥰
Oh it's so hard to read emotion through text. Thanks for the sweet words. I really hope you find a fabulous thrifted wedding dress!
@@thissideofthefirmament No problem, thanks for the text back 😇
Have you bought any?
I actually did buy some.
I'm sorry the butt bow just brought it over the top for ridiculous n for me
The sound is very hard to hear.
Pooferoni😂
Tie your hair up when you,re showing these dresses.
Your hair should not be dangling down blocking the material!!!😢😢
Oh don't be sad. I'll try to remember this in the future but sometimes I'm just going about my day and find some dresses to try on. If you ever find any at the store grab your phone and make a video, people really enjoy them! I'm just a woman with her mom...I'm not a model or a professional TH-camr :)
Well, you can have your say but you could try and say it nicely. The way you put it sounds very Karen-ish. Nobody forces you to watch if you don't like it.
please put your hair up when modeling.
The one at 5:53 looks like a lace bedspread. 👎
That first dress was God awful
🤣 I felt really sassy in it. It was actually awesome.
