I think it’s amazing!!! Personally I know that after sexual abuse it’s so hard to see yourself as being attractive!!! It takes a lot of work to get to a point where you feel attractive and can like yourself again!!! For me I feel like my body betrayed me by attracting that kind of person!!!
As someone who’s gotten a dress from a program like the ones you’ve donated to because I couldn’t afford one, thank you! Nobody should go without feeling beautiful just because they don’t have the money, and it feels so good to have a dress that makes you feel confident with worrying about if you can afford it while also affording groceries and rent. ❤️
I am currently going through a rape trial, I actually testify tomorrow lol. Thank you so much for donating to sexual assault survivors! As someone who has gone through the entire reporting, kit, and conviction process, it is definitely one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. I'm sure any little gift will brighten their really dark journey at least a little bit. Thank you! Update: some people are commenting almost a year later checking in on me! I am doing great now guys :) I just took the MCAT and will be applying to medical school this year. If anyone relates to my story, I hope you face it with a vigor. They may have won in court, but they will not bring us down in life. You have the amazing power to heal yourself and those around you. If you have been battling memories of rape by yourself, I encourage you to ask for help. You don't have to press charges like me, but allowing someone to validate your pain allows you to clearly define yourself as the good guy. If this happened to your sister, brother, mother, grandmother, what would you say to them? Would your words ring as harshly as the criticisms you are giving yourself? Please comment if you need to vent
@@sofiacookie8378 Thank you for checking in! Unfortunately, they found him not guilty and allowed him to return back to campus. I wish I had good news, but I'm doing okay and have pursued a student restraining order. Karma will find him eventually
Can we just appreciate the fact that Mia thinks of everything?!! - Giving to specialized charities - Sorting the dresses best suited for each charity - putting up trigger warnings - including her fans in the giveaway -even going as far as to apologize to her fans for it not being an inclusive giveaway. (Which she can not control nor do we expect her to. She can't be every size at once, but it's the thought that counts.) You couldn't hate this girl if you wanted to. Try it, guarantee you'll fail. 🥰
The relationship Mia has with her mom is so pretty. I recently lost my mom to cancer, and watching this reminded me of our relationship. I just miss her a lot
I just got to the point in the video where you mentioned the charity supporting SA survivors and I burst into tears. I am a social worker and my job is to help kids get through SA. The thought of how much joy those dresses will bring just punched me right in the chest. When kids have lost so much, including autonomy of their own body and their trust in adults, they can struggle to get anything back. Having even one beautiful dress to make happy memories in, feel confident in, and celebrate in could seriously change their life. Acts of kindness fight away the darkness. God bless you. ❤
I cant believe Mia’s apologizing for keeping some of the dresses! She’s already always so generous, and even just giving away one dress (like she’s done before) would make someone’s dream come true. Thank you Mia!
Don’t you dare feel bad for keeping how many you want! What you’re doing is amazing already! Please don’t feel bad or guilty, I mean we all have a couple for any sort of events that might come up! You’re so kind I can’t 🥺
Omg I just finished the video and I’d love the opportunity to own either dress! Maybe MAYBE yellow if I had to choose but really they’re both gorgeous 💛💜 (@dramotociclista and I’m from Mexico!)
You’re parents did a great job raising you and the community you have built on this platform is so heartwarming cause we all know you’re genuine and sweet we look up to you as an influencer and there’s no better person to be an influencer than Mia maples herself 🥰❤️
@@MiaMaples omgggggg I can’t believe you saw thissss🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭 I’m screaming and yelling 😭😭😭 I love you !! Keep being the amazing person you are ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍🤍
i recently rewatched tangled and i couldnt stop thinking how much rapunzel resembles mia. not even just the looks, but just how kind and sweet she is. mia ur truly such a disney princess with a heart of gold! i love u and keep doing what ur doing!
I love how humble and apologetic she is. She’s has done so much for her channel for everybody in the world. My favorite TH-camr. She’s is so sweet. The yellow dress was my favorites
@• ᴗ what are you even talking about, she makes videos about trying on outfits from different brands and after she is done, she donates them. I don't see anything wrong with that.
@• ᴗ the dresses are mostly not fast fashion. At least the expensive dresses not. They’re made by the designers and their workers. For over a thousand dollars of a Marodeuren dress it’s definitely not fast fashion. Yes some brands are probably problematic but I think she might see that as well
@• ᴗ Why follow and watch someone that you believe is harmful (Or doing harmful things)? You really aren't helping, what you consider to be the situation, by engaging. As someone stated above, a lot of those dresses were made by designers for their small businesses. About the ones that aren't... I believe that, because of her position, she is able to provide a service for people that can barely/only afford fast fashion. She tries out the dresses not only showing what they look like in RL but giving her thoughts on their price and condition as well as whether she thinks they are worth the price. That helps people to be able to make an informed decision so that they don't have to waste their money or worse, end up buying and returning dresses (that are sized oddly, made terribly, or so on) for them to then possibly get sold again or thrown out. Causing fast fashion to be made and then wasted unnecessarily. Just my opinion but, I believe she helps substantially more than she hurts by a long shot. ** edit to add the person that I was replying to.
@• ᴗ I understand and commend your compassion for the issue as well as your dedication in trying to do as much as you can to spread awareness. I truly find constructive criticism to be necessary in starting the conversation sometimes. I'm a Libra so I am always looking at all the sides and trying to figure out why people behave and think the way that they do. Then I come to my own conclusion. I appreciate you trying to explain yourPOV. I understand what you mean but I do not feel like you addressed the points that I made. I know how it annoys a lot of people (I learned the hard way trying to have discussions with ppl about religion.) Anyway, this is very long and I truly apologize. I'd like to thank you for bringing it to my attention so that I can get started researching. Have a great one.
This made me teary eyed because I was that kid that couldn't afford dresses my mom moved away and I stayed to finish highschool so I had bills that came before dresses so this is so sweet of you! You are awesome!
Me too, I lived with my dad around my prom time and he refused to pay for a good dress. So, the dress I bought was super cheaply made and didn't fit me. I'm so excited that these charities exist.
it makes me so excited to see an influencer care so much for those who haven’t been as lucky with what life has given them. thank you so much for donating your beautiful dresses, i know that you are going to make so many people happy! i am from California and absolutely IN LOVE with the yellow dress :)
Your parents must be so proud of you!! Gosh I don't even know you personally and I'm SO proud of what you do and have done for these young ladies and drag superstars starting out!!! X
I would never be able to part with the Matoshi dresses because of how expensive and artistically crafted they are. It's so sweet of her to let go of some of them.
This is my third time coming back to this video for all the good feels. Mia, your heart is so genuine and kind. The care you took in preparing the dresses and searching out charities just makes the world feel filled of sunshine.
Love what you’re doing! The world needs more of it! Just one tip: when zipping the garment bags put one hand on the inside so the zipper doesn’t snag and ruin the dress (I was told this when I recently picked up my wedding dress). The dresses are GORGEOUS and it just helps in the preservation. Hoping that didn’t sound rude, but I wanted to mention it with you doing such an amazing thing!
As someone who grew up in a really low income home, I had to go through a program to get my senior prom dress because otherwise we could not afford to even rent one from a prom boutique. I really appreciate this!! It made me feel amazing for at least one night and I know all the women and girls who get the opportunity to wear these dresses will greatly appreciate it. Thank you Mia for being such a kind human being.
Hi, I'm from Norway and I have watched your videos for like 2 years now. And I just wanted to say that everything you do is so amazing and heartwarming. I really like the yellow dress. ❤️
I can’t imagine how proud your parents must be of you. You’ve done so many amazing things for people at such a young age. I’m sure there are many people great full for you. My favorite dress is the yellow one and I am from USA☺️
Mia is the type of person that we see mostly in movies only, it's so rare to meet someone this kind and generous, she is so sweet and has such a positive outlook on life, it's truly inspiring.
I discovered your videos a year ago, and I love the relationship you have with your family. I kind of live vicariously through your videos if I'm completely honest. I'm disconnected from my family entirely. I had to leave home at 17 and my father was actually killed a few months ago. Seeing what a loving relationship you have with your family is a source of joy for me and I want you to know just how appreciated your videos are. In ways you may not even realize. Thank you for doing all that you do.
I love how Mia is so generous. She spent so much money on these but chose to donate them instead of selling them. Whoever got one of these pretty dresses is so lucky
Seriously Mia is THE SWEETEST girl ever.. I hope all of her good work is sent back to her with so much happiness and good health because she deserves all the best 😍..
My favorite thing about you is that you're actually a genuine person! You're so selfless; so spend hundreds on clothes and stuff but you actually donate it instead of selling or returning it for money. You actually care about a better cause. Please stay this way forever.❤
As someone who grew up in poverty and never got to have the dress I dreamed of for prom, I really appreciate the fact that you put all this effort into donating these dresses. The people who benefit from this will appreciate it hugely, I'm sure🥺❤ x
You're honestly the sweetest person Mia, those people who receive these dresses will be so happy, especially those who can't afford gorgeous dresses on their special night. You are so kind and thoughtful, there should be more people like you!
This brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my arms. You have such a big heart and I’m sure you’ve made many girls moments special because of your generosity 💛💛
You’re seriously so giving with the sweetest most genuine heart. That’s why I’ve enjoyed your videos so much over the years. You’re so entertaining and funny and just wholesome.
mentioning drag performers- peopel who experince gender on the spectrum- have a REALLY diffcult time finding gowns and garments. thank you so much for the shout out!!
I love dress 3, 7, 45, 56 and 59 on you. They fit you perfectly and look gorgeous on you. And you shouldn´t worry about keeping some of the dresses since you bought them all and you still did something awesome with blessing young woman with all of these dresses! Best wishes from Germany!
mia donating some things to the starting out drag performers is perfect bc i was thinking the same thing too! some of the pieces are so fun and bold and i thought drag performers would put them to good use
This is the first time a video of Mia’s has made me cry. I am so so proud of you for doing this. The impact you’re making will have ripple affect for all the lovely individuals who receive your donations. I myself was involved with one of the organizations that helped teens who were SA’d and built their confidence back up. I was r*ped at 15. I remember how AMAZING it felt come prom season when we all got to play dress up and feel beautiful and confident. I am so insanely proud of you for choosing such meaningful groups. Thank you.
I absolutely love how generous and thoughtful you were when finding these dresses new homes, but don't feel bad for keeping some! A bunch of these would work wonderfully as a wedding attendee dress, a dress for a gala, or other events
You're literally one of the sweetest and kindest people I've seen. I can't get enough of how thoughtful you are and how you use your privilege to always help others. I'm Isha, from India and it would be really expensive to get one of these dresses for me so I'd love to receive the purple one (for the giveaway)
I would move to Canada just to get Mia’s second hand everything 😂 its amazing that she finds joy in this. I love the purple dress, I have a wedding soon and that would look amazing. I don’t really have the budget to buy something elegant 💜
I love it how Mia feels bad for keeping the dresses haha Mia it’s ok to have a few. I kept one I thought I’d never use again and it ended up being an awesome last minute costume for a solo at a dance competition.
Yellow dress! Nashville, TN. I have a senior this year and this would definitely make up for missing her junior year prom because of quarantine. I also have a junior this year as well. You have such a big heart, we are excited for whoever you send this to. Thanks for being so amazing always.
This video truly warmed my heart, it’s rare to have such a caring person who is truly excited to do good. Keep it up Mia! We all love you and your efforts! ❤️
Hi Mia, this was such a thoughtful and fun video! It’s so generous of you to donate so many dresses to charities that will make so many people happy with your donated dresses. You are such an inspiration
Seeing all the dresses being neatly packed away in those garment bags is so satisfying I don't know why ! 😆 Discovered your channel a week or so ago and you've inspired me to renew my wardrobe, I want to feel pretty!
Donating the dresses is a hard decision especially if those dresses has memories but for Mia it’s just a piece of cake. I really admire how she put so much effort just to equally divided the dresses. She has a big heart. I am a fan from PH🇵🇭. If I will win it I will choose purple💜 cause it’s my favorite color but It doesn’t matter if it’s yellow or purple cause I am thankful enough for being part of this.
It says so much about you and Momma Maples to see the joy on you faces each time you make a drop off. You never know how much happiness you have given so many by gifting these dresses. They are so beautiful. Also a big hello to Tate!
The purple dress is beautiful! It wouldn’t be for me, it would be for a young friend I have that has grown to be like a sister to me. I think the purple dress is the dress she would feel more comfortable in. I’m hoping it will help her bring her confidence up and let her see how special she is.
It’s so thoughtful that you decided to donate all of those incredible dresses to charities. You truly are a kind soul :) Im entering for the yellow dress.
The purple dress is like a dream to me haha it's so whimsical. Honestly I have never seen someone as humble as you.. All of us trust and love you very much and to be honest your comment section is one of the most supportive , happy and friendly section I have ever came across... Sending my Love to you from India ❤
I could never get enough of saying that Mia is one of the sweetest people I’ve seen all my life. I’m glad that many people around the world or just locally would be given a chance to try on those beautiful dresses. Yaasssss, donate for a cause ✨🌈🌟.
Mia was genuinely glowing throughout this whole video with a smile of excitement. She truly loved giving these dresses away to people in need. What a kind hearted sweetie pie!! Way to go Mia❤
Welp you’re officially the fairy godmother of dresses!! Imagine all the beaming smiles when they find the dress of their dreams!! Mia, you’re THE BEST!!!!!! ✨💖✨
You’re so wholesome and lovely. You’re going to make so many women and girls dreams come true with those amazing dresses you’ve donated. It’s a beautiful thing
Well done Mia, that is such a good thing to do. People would be extremely happy to find the dresses in the charity shops. Both dresses look amazing on you but my favourite is the purple one. Sending regards and kisses from the UK :) :*
Hi, I am entering this giveaway for the purple dress. Honestly I am so pleased to see influencers like you who donate to those foundations without second thoughts. Love from France !
It's so heartwarming thinking of how these dresses will make a lot of people feel beautiful on their special days! I didn't get a graduation ceremony after finishing university due to the pandemic, I didn't get to celebrate my hard work and honestly don't feel like I graduated. I am planning to have a graduation shoot so I can celebrate my grad and award and I would love to have the yellow dress, It's my dream dress. I am from United Arab Emirates @bahjamk
You're seriously the sweetest most selfless person on the planet. Your parents are clearly so proud of you and I can see why. I love your videos you are light hearted fun to watch especially as us as your viewers know how giving you are xxx
I’m not entering the giveaway since they aren’t my size, but I’m hoping they will go to someone who deserves them! Mia,you are such a giving and kind soul! Thanks for adding kindness to the world. Mia is the mr. beast of dresses and home renovations😂🧡 much love!
I got my prom dress from a organization just like this! thank you for spending the time and effort to get these dresses to places where people can access them for free!
She is a pure hearted person and I never seen anyone like her she is so kind, animal lover, respectful and helping others and I wish that I'm her sister because it's been great if I'm her sister bit no luck 🤞 I wish when I reborn I want to be her sister , love ya sis ❤️😚😊
Does this give anyone else 27 dresses vibes? I love you Mia and how conscious you are about being able to give others who can't afford them a chance to wear a beautiful dress like these!!
I love how you are going around this. Sometimes people come across entitled, stuck up (?) like "look at me being a nice person". But you are just so natural and happy. I can feel you Radiate happiness about giving them away 💖
I never had a graduation because I dropped out of school and had to work to support myself at 15yrs old after running away from my abusive home, where I had been physically beaten and emotionally too. I love watching your video's its like an I wish I had a time in my life I could have enjoyed being a princess for even a moment. So happy I can watch your joy through all of these.
i’m not much of a cryer but i had to skip the intro because i found my eyes watering so much and it’s just so heartwarming to know that there are really kind youtubers that give back and are so selfless. you have such a beautiful soul mia
I’m entering to win the purple dress. I work as a dean with high school girls and we have one room we call the closet. It has donated dresses for banquets we do here. This way girls who can’t afford a dress have a place to “shop” out of and choose a dress. I’d love to add the purple one to the collection ☺️ love you and your videos 💛
Haven’t finished this video yet - but just wanted to say this was everything I didn’t know I needed today 💛 wholesome content and you look beautiful in all of them 💕
your heart🥺❤️ you really thought of everything, sustainability, being all inclusive and putting in the work for sending those dresses honestly, you deserve the world
This was such a fun and thoughtful video Mia! It’s great to see such generous people giving back to our local communities! I hope your generosity and caring spirit can influence others around the world so we can all learn to support each other especially during tough times. The yellow dress is my favourite!!
The fact that Mia is apologising for keeping some of her own dresses that she paid for is just too sweet.
Exactly 😭
I know 🥺 so sweet
Classic Canadian
It’s silly. She shouldn’t have to or feel like she has too.
Hahaha we have to let her know that we would’ve done the same thing if we were her 💜
I literally teared up when she mentioned that she'd be donating to sexual assault survivors. The universe really did something when it created Mia
I think it’s amazing!!! Personally I know that after sexual abuse it’s so hard to see yourself as being attractive!!! It takes a lot of work to get to a point where you feel attractive and can like yourself again!!! For me I feel like my body betrayed me by attracting that kind of person!!!
omg me too!
@@kaiaboyer8238 ❤️
I thought you were being dramatic and then teared up when it came up too 😭 she’s so sweet
The fact that she chose fun ones too really got me. They deserve to have fun dresses too

IKR!! Its sooo pretty!
i think she kept it i didn’t see it when she was sorting all the dresses between the charities!!!!! didn’t she want to do a photoshoot with it??
@@alaisvalera5233 No, that was a different dress.. with flowers on it... and I saw her put the strawberry dress in one of the donations
@@cutedrawings2222 okay i must’ve missed it when i was watching the video then!!! thank u!!
@@alaisvalera5233 np :D
Mia is the type of person that we see mostly in movies only, it's so rare to meet someone this kind and generous, she is so sweet and has such a positive outlook on life, it's truly inspiring.
I discovered your videos a year ago, and I love the relationship you have with your family. I kind of live vicariously through your videos if I'm completely honest. I'm disconnected from my family entirely. I had to leave home at 17 and my father was actually killed a few months ago. Seeing what a loving relationship you have with your family is a source of joy for me and I want you to know just how appreciated your videos are. In ways you may not even realize. Thank you for doing all that you do.
I love how Mia is so generous. She spent so much money on these but chose to donate them instead of selling them. Whoever got one of these pretty dresses is so lucky
Mia: *donates 80+ dresses, does a giveaway for her subscribers and thanks them*
Also Mia: "I have to do the donation portion really quick."
Love her.
Seriously Mia is THE SWEETEST girl ever.. I hope all of her good work is sent back to her with so much happiness and good health because she deserves all the best 😍..
My favorite thing about you is that you're actually a genuine person! You're so selfless; so spend hundreds on clothes and stuff but you actually donate it instead of selling or returning it for money. You actually care about a better cause. Please stay this way forever.❤
As someone who grew up in poverty and never got to have the dress I dreamed of for prom, I really appreciate the fact that you put all this effort into donating these dresses. The people who benefit from this will appreciate it hugely, I'm sure🥺❤ x
All the charities are gonna LOVE those dresses you donated! Mia’s literally the most unproblematic youtuber and I’m here for it!!
You're honestly the sweetest person Mia, those people who receive these dresses will be so happy, especially those who can't afford gorgeous dresses on their special night. You are so kind and thoughtful, there should be more people like you!
This brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my arms. You have such a big heart and I’m sure you’ve made many girls moments special because of your generosity 💛💛
You’re seriously so giving with the sweetest most genuine heart. That’s why I’ve enjoyed your videos so much over the years. You’re so entertaining and funny and just wholesome.
y’all i literally SCREAMED when she pulled out that yellow dress out!!! i’ve been manifesting this since i saw her wear it
Hopefully you win it, then!
Get it Girl!
Maybe mention where you’re from to enter of this is your official entry (not sure how strict that request is but hey, I’m rooting for you now ;)
@@nubitadeprimavera lol it literally wont let me...
@janeevette everywhere and obviously yellow!!!
mentioning drag performers- peopel who experince gender on the spectrum- have a REALLY diffcult time finding gowns and garments. thank you so much for the shout out!!
I love dress 3, 7, 45, 56 and 59 on you. They fit you perfectly and look gorgeous on you. And you shouldn´t worry about keeping some of the dresses since you bought them all and you still did something awesome with blessing young woman with all of these dresses! Best wishes from Germany!
Ok so I definitely got teary during this video. Mia is so pure, she’s a real idol 🥺❤️
For real! When she brought up the SA and the children who cant afford a dress for prom I got so emotional. She truly is such a great person.
Mia Maples is one of the kindest TH-camrs I’ve seen. She inspires me to be a better person.
Me too!
Mia makes a video about donating, a minute before ending “oh let’s do the donation part”. ❤️ You are such an inspiration!
mia donating some things to the starting out drag performers is perfect bc i was thinking the same thing too! some of the pieces are so fun and bold and i thought drag performers would put them to good use
This is the first time a video of Mia’s has made me cry. I am so so proud of you for doing this. The impact you’re making will have ripple affect for all the lovely individuals who receive your donations. I myself was involved with one of the organizations that helped teens who were SA’d and built their confidence back up. I was r*ped at 15. I remember how AMAZING it felt come prom season when we all got to play dress up and feel beautiful and confident. I am so insanely proud of you for choosing such meaningful groups.
Thank you.
Mia apologising for everything and to everyone when she’s only doing great things ❤️❤️❤️ best human
Why did it make me emotional while you were trying them on? So many years I’ve been watching you and you’re really the best most selfless TH-camr
Literally same I geared up twice in this video
I absolutely love how generous and thoughtful you were when finding these dresses new homes, but don't feel bad for keeping some! A bunch of these would work wonderfully as a wedding attendee dress, a dress for a gala, or other events
You're literally one of the sweetest and kindest people I've seen. I can't get enough of how thoughtful you are and how you use your privilege to always help others. I'm Isha, from India and it would be really expensive to get one of these dresses for me so I'd love to receive the purple one (for the giveaway)
I would move to Canada just to get Mia’s second hand everything 😂 its amazing that she finds joy in this. I love the purple dress, I have a wedding soon and that would look amazing. I don’t really have the budget to buy something elegant 💜
I love it how Mia feels bad for keeping the dresses haha
Mia it’s ok to have a few.
I kept one I thought I’d never use again and it ended up being an awesome last minute costume for a solo at a dance competition.
Thank you for giving back to your community versus selling them! You’re an amazing person Mia!
Love the fact that you’re donating these dresses to people that could put them to great use. 💕I really admire how kind hearted you are! Thank you! 💓
Yellow dress! Nashville, TN. I have a senior this year and this would definitely make up for missing her junior year prom because of quarantine. I also have a junior this year as well. You have such a big heart, we are excited for whoever you send this to. Thanks for being so amazing always.
This video truly warmed my heart, it’s rare to have such a caring person who is truly excited to do good. Keep it up Mia! We all love you and your efforts! ❤️
Hi Mia, this was such a thoughtful and fun video! It’s so generous of you to donate so many dresses to charities that will make so many people happy with your donated dresses. You are such an inspiration
Seeing all the dresses being neatly packed away in those garment bags is so satisfying I don't know why ! 😆
Discovered your channel a week or so ago and you've inspired me to renew my wardrobe, I want to feel pretty!
Donating the dresses is a hard decision especially if those dresses has memories but for Mia it’s just a piece of cake. I really admire how she put so much effort just to equally divided the dresses. She has a big heart.
I am a fan from PH🇵🇭. If I will win it I will choose purple💜 cause it’s my favorite color but It doesn’t matter if it’s yellow or purple cause I am thankful enough for being part of this.
The high schools affected by the hurricane would be a great place to donate to now once things calm down a bit. You are such a sweet soul. 💜💜💜💜
It says so much about you and Momma Maples to see the joy on you faces each time you make a drop off. You never know how much happiness you have given so many by gifting these dresses. They are so beautiful. Also a big hello to Tate!
The purple dress is beautiful! It wouldn’t be for me, it would be for a young friend I have that has grown to be like a sister to me. I think the purple dress is the dress she would feel more comfortable in. I’m hoping it will help her bring her confidence up and let her see how special she is.
It’s so thoughtful that you decided to donate all of those incredible dresses to charities. You truly are a kind soul :) Im entering for the yellow dress.
The purple dress is like a dream to me haha it's so whimsical. Honestly I have never seen someone as humble as you.. All of us trust and love you very much and to be honest your comment section is one of the most supportive , happy and friendly section I have ever came across... Sending my Love to you from India ❤
I could never get enough of saying that Mia is one of the sweetest people I’ve seen all my life. I’m glad that many people around the world or just locally would be given a chance to try on those beautiful dresses. Yaasssss, donate for a cause ✨🌈🌟.

Well done Mia, that is such a good thing to do. People would be extremely happy to find the dresses in the charity shops. Both dresses look amazing on you but my favourite is the purple one. Sending regards and kisses from the UK :) :*

I am planning to have a graduation shoot so I can celebrate my grad and award and I would love to have the yellow dress, It's my dream dress. I am from United Arab Emirates @bahjamk
You're seriously the sweetest most selfless person on the planet. Your parents are clearly so proud of you and I can see why. I love your videos you are light hearted fun to watch especially as us as your viewers know how giving you are xxx
You've done an amazing thing, Mia! You and your mom are just the sweetest people!!
When she said she was donating to kids that were sexually assaulted.. that really hit my soft spot🥲
I never noticed how much Chip looks like Mias dad until he was standing on the center console with a tie on
I’m not entering the giveaway since they aren’t my size, but I’m hoping they will go to someone who deserves them! Mia,you are such a giving and kind soul! Thanks for adding kindness to the world. Mia is the mr. beast of dresses and home renovations😂🧡 much love!
I got my prom dress from a organization just like this! thank you for spending the time and effort to get these dresses to places where people can access them for free!
She is a pure hearted person and I never seen anyone like her she is so kind, animal lover, respectful and helping others and I wish that I'm her sister because it's been great if I'm her sister bit no luck 🤞 I wish when I reborn I want to be her sister , love ya sis ❤️😚😊
Does this give anyone else 27 dresses vibes? I love you Mia and how conscious you are about being able to give others who can't afford them a chance to wear a beautiful dress like these!!
I love how you are going around this. Sometimes people come across entitled, stuck up (?) like "look at me being a nice person". But you are just so natural and happy. I can feel you Radiate happiness about giving them away 💖
I never had a graduation because I dropped out of school and had to work to support myself at 15yrs old after running away from my abusive home, where I had been physically beaten and emotionally too. I love watching your video's its like an I wish I had a time in my life I could have enjoyed being a princess for even a moment. So happy I can watch your joy through all of these.
i love that Mia always has such good intentions. always making donations for awesome charities, it warms my heart
Mia is seriously the sweetest and kindest watching her makes me feel so much better 💖 Been here since she had 30k subs. Love you mia ❤
I love 74, the skirt is so fluffy and it looks beautiful
i’m not much of a cryer but i had to skip the intro because i found my eyes watering so much and it’s just so heartwarming to know that there are really kind youtubers that give back and are so selfless. you have such a beautiful soul mia
I’m entering to win the purple dress. I work as a dean with high school girls and we have one room we call the closet. It has donated dresses for banquets we do here. This way girls who can’t afford a dress have a place to “shop” out of and choose a dress. I’d love to add the purple one to the collection ☺️ love you and your videos 💛
Awww i hope you win it!
Haven’t finished this video yet - but just wanted to say this was everything I didn’t know I needed today 💛 wholesome content and you look beautiful in all of them 💕
your heart🥺❤️ you really thought of everything, sustainability, being all inclusive and putting in the work for sending those dresses honestly, you deserve the world
This was such a fun and thoughtful video Mia! It’s great to see such generous people giving back to our local communities! I hope your generosity and caring spirit can influence others around the world so we can all learn to support each other especially during tough times. The yellow dress is my favourite!!
The effort you put into your kind acts literally makes me cry😭😭😭
