- Restoration Revisited
Vintage 1966 Silk Magnolia Beaded Gown Part 4 Finale : This project is still one of my favorites to look back on. Not just because of the gown and it's sorry, but because of all of the things I learned during this restoration that I still use today. This gown was snatched up right away by an amazingly dedicated follower who took part in every live stream, watched every video and motivated me with her excitement to see it completed. I'm so happy it found its second chance right away. I'm excited to show you the full process now that so many of you have joined my page 🥰
To answer some of your questions from during this restoration:
Q. Why didn't you put it in the sun?
A. This video was made last year, at the time the weather was spotty so I didn't want to risk it. I also live in Washington so it's not always available. When it is though I definitely use it!
Q. Why did you use bleach??
A. Normally I wouldn't and these days I've learned much safer practices. I was feeling desperate and it was a last ditch attempt, until I found that stain stick.
Q. Why didn't you take it to the dry cleaners?
A. Dry cleaners hardly accept vintage wedding dresses in great condition due to the liability, they wouldn't have ever touched this.

That is such a beautiful gown! It looks like Audrey Hepburn could have worn it! Just beautiful and unique.
I can picture Jacqueline Kennedy wearing this beautiful gown!
In South America we would wet the fabric, then rub white soap all around(like coconut washing soap or a white hand soak) and put in the Sun. You can put inside a transparent bag or directly on the Sun and throw more water as it dries. It will remove ANY stain. It’s magical. That’s what old school would do in the rivers to get white linen clothing without rubbing.
Does it work on the old stains?
@@tobelight6729sounds like it. Baking soda in a paste with lemon juice
This is what I've done since in Cuba, it works like a charm 🤌🏻
What's coconut washing soap? Do you mean like bath soap that you would take a bath with? Give me a brand name for an example.
Please 😊
It’s refreshing to see actual wedding dresses from years past. Times and styles change so much it was wonderful to see this dress from the 60’s. So glad someone wanted to wear it and that the family had it restored. You did a beautiful job on a difficult dress, just a lovely look into someone’s past. Thanks for sharing.
I did restoration like this in the early 1980s for years using the same methods you used. There were only two of us in all of Western MA who did that kind of work, so suffice to say, I was always booked well up to two years. My oldest gown was circa 1817 and it had been used by the bride and her sisters to play dress-up, so it was not in great shape, and stained also. I had to learn an intricate crochet technique to repair the torn ones using old thread from antique fairs. The dress and the bride was absolutely beautiful. At the wedding reception, I saw two ladies supporting an old trembling with age, man and coming towards me. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. He gave me a heartfelt thank-you for restoring his grandmother’s dress. I will never forget that.
My God I wish you were in San Francisco lol
I will be getting married in my grandmothers dress and I want to revamp it but I can’t find any good tailors
Wow! That is impressive! I have been using Nellies Laundry soda for a few years now, and it never disappoints. Only has four ingredients. Certainly a product line that could very useful for what you do. That dress just looks amazing!
What a gorgeous dress! So stylish. You did a phenomenal job restoring it.❤
Thank you so much!🥰🥰
I’m impressed with Nellie’s Wow Stick.
This is one of the most beautiful gowns I've ever seen!!! I would have loved to have worn one like this, so regal!! I'm shocked that no one in the family wanted it to wear for their own wedding and just hire you to restore it. Just stunningly beautiful!!
That is a beautiful gown. And you should let Nellie's know how well their product works!
What a beautiful gown! You did a wonderful job restoring it.
Thank you! 😊
That is a gorgeous dress, and you did an awesome job restoring it. I hope someone wears it again!
Oh my gosh, you gave this dress its life back.
When she said " when it let go of all the stuff it was holding onto " wow!🙏❤
All I can say is Wow! Design of the dress is beautiful
So satisfying to see the results of your labour, right? Maybe you could show us a picture of the dress on whoever bought it? It’s really beautiful!!
Wow! All of your research and hard work produced an amazing result. It looks beautiful.
Stunning dress. Similar to my mums dress, she married in 1965.
Wow is right! Amazing product and terrific job by you! Yay!😊👍🏼💕
What a beautiful wedding dress !
Miracle worker!
The beautiful fabric looked like it was intact.
We have an heirloom christening gown that was recently just used for photos. It is fragile. By fragile I mean yellowed, stained and disintegrating. I think it’s too far gone to be dipped in anything wet.
What you did to rescue the wedding gown is awesome.
Denture cleaning tabs, my Mom use to soak old dresses in them over night. Worked wonders!
Fels naptha is incredible at taking out stains and is even less expensive.
It is absolutely gorgeous! You did a fantastic job. A lot of love went into that restoration!
wow you are impressive thank you for sharing. I really hope someone wears it again for their special day
That is an absolutely beautiful dress. Im going to buy that stick for my laundry issues. Thank you for the video 😊
My eyes popped out of my head when I saw the end result. Looks like a brand new dress. Amazing.
Absolutely fabulous.I had no faith that you would get those things out.But I Am ordering one of those sticks on Amazon.That's for sure.❤🎉 Absolutely fabulous job
This dress is giving me Grace Kelly vibes ❤️😍 you are a master with these restorations.
That brand of cleaning products, for that stain stick, is from France. I live here now and have for the last 8 years. I love that brand though they have good stuff. I buy it at Castrorama or Carrefour.
But I'm originally a fellow Washingtonian myself 😊 hailing from Seattle. But before I met my husband and moved to France we had considered living in Olympia. However we soon realized after comparing things that France overall is cheaper.
Absolutely beautiful and unique.

I purchased a 1998 vintage dress that had been stored away since then and it does have some heavy stains on the front just from aging inside of a box but after watching your videos, I feel like I may be able to attempt to restore it to its original state by using some of these techniques, and I definitely want to purchase that stain stick that you showed us! I am so excited to try this out. Thank you so much for your knowledge.
This was so amazing! I found your channel on fb a little bit ago and love watching you restore old dresses! What a gift you have and this dress to me is by far the most amazing! You are so talented!
Wow, what an amazing job you done on this stunner, absolutely gorgeous and timeless.❤
When moving home 3yrs ago i found my wedding dress from only 25years ago (divorced), so no real love for it. I opened it and remembered the red wine stain right down the front along with the black hem and just general 25 years of grime. I though 'fook it' sprayed ace bleach on the stains and stuck it in the washing machine on a wool wash with vinegar and detergent. Was looking forward to seeing the state of it. I was amazed that every stain had come out 😱. Lost a few beads/crystals but easily replaced them. Once dry it was like new. Now i love it, my mum bought me it and since passed away and now it has some meaning. 😂❤
Absolutely worth all the time it took! I know the family is grateful
You did an amazing job!
What a beautiful gown. You did a great job. I need a Nellie's wow stick
Thank you! 🤗
That is magnificent!!
That was a remarkable restoration! Congratulations! Thanks for posting!
Thank you very much for watching!
Holy shit, this is incredible work!!
This is a beautiful dress.
It really is!
WOW!!! What a GORGEOUS dress!!!
I think so too!
Wow what a wonderful result. Beautiful dress
Thank you so much 😊

Wow! Impressive!
You are a miracle worker
That is a beautiful gown ❤
I agree!
Amazing transformation, also thanks for the info on the Nellie's Wow Bar, will try and get some sent to Tokyo!!
Fantastic work
The family needs to do us a favor! and let people rent such a beautiful wedding dress 🤩
You are phenomenal. It’s a beautiful restoration.
Aww thank you!
Love, love this!💜
This is fascinating. My gown from 55 years ago had turned a brownish color all over. It was organza and Alencon lace. When a well recommended restorer said there was nothing he could do, I decided to take a chance and put it in the bathtub with Oxyclean. The brown was immediately lifted. An expert told me later it was probably the starch on the organza. The material is softer now so that makes sense.
Well done. A work of love.
Thank you so much 😀
Wow! I am speachless!
It's quite lovely isn't it? 🥰
Outstanding!!
Gorgeous dress. I’m amazed that you got the stains all out. I will be on the lookout for Nelly’s wow stick too.
Gorgeous! Your efforts were not in vain, you did it!! You must have also felt relief as well as excitement when the final stains lifted. Just to share, i use Felsnaptha stain stick and it costs about $1 and lasts a long time. I swear by it to get tough stains out. It is used like the stain stick you used on this dress, feels waxy but fresh.
Great job! Well done.😊
Thank you! 😃
This was amazing! It almost looked like my cousins dress that she wanted me to wear. She passed before I got married.
New subscriber…….I’m speechless, that dress is GORGEOUS!! You did an amazing job!!!!
Omg that is gorgeous
Beautiful dress. I hope someone wears it again.
It was purchased within hours so I'm sure it'll be very loved ♥️
Stunning
I think you are a miracle worker.
The stains in that Wedding Dress were so severely deep & devastating. You did a beautiful
job & your dedication shows!!
Thanks for sharing.
Your sticking to it really won the battle against those stains. Wonderful job.
It definitely took everything I had and more to accomplish it, but I'm glad it was worth it in the end!
I love it. Love it 😊
Beautiful ❤
That is the most beautiful dress!! Well done on the restoration - looks wonderful. Lots of work and elbow grease went into it and you can be unashamedly proud of the result. ❤
Thank you so much!
Stunning!
Wow! You did such a fantastic job with this restoration. This gown is absolutely gorgeous! 👏❤️
Thank you! 😊
Having been born in 1966 this restoration really appealed to me. You did a fantastic job. My wedding gown is in my attic along with my 3 daughters christening dresses. At some point I’d like to freshen them up. 😊
I'm so sorry I didn't find you sooner!! I tossed my stained wedding dress as I felt it was beyond repair and now my regret knows no limits!!
Absolutely stunning!
Fantastic. Well done
Thank you 🥰
Gorgeous gown! Beautiful work!
The dress came out looking so amazing and beautiful... You are a miracle worker and so patient ❤
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰
