Hello hello we meet again
Same room trying on dresses same kind of video
Because why yes the answer would be
wedding season
It's wedding season on this channel today
I'm doing my second video of trying on dresses and this time we're going to look at vintage options because one I
Really like the dresses. I wore for the Lolita photoshoot. I didn't Tokio about a year ago and two I've been looking at
iconic weddings over the decades more specifically the dresses that women wore and I noticed that a lot of
legendary dresses from the past inspire really nice dresses now I
Just felt really deep saying really deep and cool and hipster saying that I don't really know that much about vintage
I was just looking recently because the wedding but also I'm happy to say that today's video is sponsored by
Jun's journey Jun's journey is a captivating hidden object mystery mobile game set in the
1920s. So here you have the things that you need to find in the room for example tea pot
Boom got it. So it's kind of like Where's Waldo meets CSI?
Actually a forensic scientist was a career
I was highly interested in for a minute, but then I looked up how much you have to study and I
Decided to become a model
Actually, you know what now that I think about it we both take photos
We both try to understand what our client is thinking and what they could sort of want. I
Thought that would be something for sure and we we we try to understand why things exist in the world
And it's basically the same thing that anyways, I'm gonna be that in my next life
I'll study that and learn the words then but for now, I just like to watch murder mysteries on Netflix and
I've got this game here. What is a Lyra?
This game is educating me so much
All right. I need to get back to my video
But this game lets me live out my best detective moment that I've always dreamed of and then throw in these glamorous
19:20 scenes and you've got yourself a good afternoon
Or evening or morning whenever you play your game and they are celebrating their first anniversary
So if you click my link below you will get in the game and you will receive a free decoration for your own private
It's day island
And this decoration is really exclusive and rare and can only be received until october 15th. So quick at best
Alright, let's get back into the video today
We're going to go to two main vintage shops here in Hong Kong one is Lacombe wedding and the second one is Park
1900s my hair and makeup was inspired by the characters from June's journey, and also the trends from the 1920s for my hair
I will link the tutorial that I use below. But basically I try to just curl it forward instead of back then
I rolled up the curls and pinned them to let them set I let it set for about 30 minutes while I did my makeup
And then once that was done
I took them out brushed out my hair to make it a little bit fluffy and to create the finger wave
You just go with the natural way of the curl you kind of play around with it until you find it and then pin it
in a wavy way and spray it and then you should have a finger wave the makeup in the
1920s was quite bold
They used petroleum jelly mixed with coal to create the smoky eye and a lot of people wore a very dramatic
Red lip with more emphasis on the top lip specifically with a defined Cupid's bow, which I always like to do
So I feel like this makeup. I feel like I belong in this era. Oh
I feel like I'm getting emotional
I feel like I belong in this era my soul resides in the 1920s. Alright makeup and hair is done
I'm all dressed. And right now I'm feeling like I look like one of those rich
housewives that Rihanna kills in one of her music videos
but uh
I kind of like it at the same time
I don't know then we headed to the shops and not only did both of them have wedding dresses
But they also had antiques as well and that really helped to set the whole mood
I'm here with Cece. She owns this shop and it is a huge space with
antiques
Vintage wedding dresses there's like a photo op set up for you to take wedding photos. There's a cafe
There's a lot and I'm really excited to explore everything but first we're sat down and she's just made me a
Drip coffee and put it in the cutest little bottle. I
Was wondering why did you open this shop in Hong Kong?
Yeah, as soon as I walked through the elevator I was like oh that smell oh, it's not good I can smell antique
Yeah, thank you
Nana
It kind of it makes you feel memories like you think of your grandmother you think of your childhood and
Like they remind me of being in my grandmother's home. I just feel like traveling
Charlie
Yeah, where's your favorite place to find antiques
In France era is your favorite for wedding dress
1920 okay
Nowadays
And that's when women got into the factories and women started working yeah, yeah
Mm-hmm
And it was a fun time like the hair the finger waving the makeup and yeah
Thank you. Let's drink to that
I thought I was supposed to shoot
We're going hardcore finding the dress, but it's just coffee
The 1920s was a fun and blissful time
And of course I'm talking before they asked it up and crash the stock market in 1929
But yeah before that it was a pretty good time and weddings were no exception dresses were shorter
so they were freer and easier to dance in necklines and waist lines were dropped and
dresses had this eclectic array of beading and
Fabric and just all different materials on them
Juliet cat fails were popular and if not a veil brides often wore hats because covering your head was both
Liberating and masculine making it very trendy for that time. So you have some dresses from 1920s
Unfortunately neither shop carried any dresses from the 1920s so that era had to end with my hair and makeup
I was really hoping to find a dress similar to Kate Moss's wedding dress
But I think I'm gonna have to either look for that online or maybe get it custom-made
Another era I want to look at is the 1950
But tell you how cleaning up all your life you're going to marry the man you love man who loves you
He's the only
Marked by the uprise of rock-and-roll the generation of baby boomers and classic modest fashion
Post-world War two love was celebrated in a big way wedding dresses were quite modest
Frilly and lacy and much like the fashion of this time Brides often wore either tea length or ballerina length dresses
Gloves were also worn and makeup-wise red lipstick was still popular and they also did this softly
lined and bedroom I look
Wow cuz in the 80s the sleeves made it come back because my mom were a dress with huge sleeves and big hair
This is oh this is interesting
Okay, I think I want to try on this one because I haven't tried on one that was initially. Yeah, and no puffy ones
So this one is from the 50s and it's very silky
It actually reminds me of a Disney Princess
Specifically Belle from Beauty and the Beast the way it's shaped with the sleeves and stuff and she's my favorite Disney Princess
So I'm loving this this dress
The 60s and 70s saw the hippy movement and actually a wide variety of subcultures took root which gave a ray to a
lot of different popular wedding style
I'm talking a-line silhouette
especially with empire waist cap sleeves excessively long sleeves high collars
draped fabrics flowing Maxie's short even colorful a lot of different style dresses
But unlike the 50s most of them actually steered away from the traditional style dress both shops
Had a lot of dresses from the 60s and 70s
in fact, I think most of the dresses were from then - reminds me a bit of
Princess Leia though Star Wars. Oh
horse
This one feels very
Comfortable the material is like not like super tight
like modern-day dresses so it feels very breathable wearable danceable and
I
Like the simplicity of it this one is from which
70s I
Really like this dial Oh UK
Then that client is really nice
yeah for you and the way it like goes in it makes the eye go in so it gives you a nice shape and
the headpieces
I think one of my favorite things about the 60s and 70s is all the different head pieces that came in
whether it be made from fabric or metals or jewels, they're really really pretty and I think that
Whether you wear like the traditional veil or a hat for the ceremony putting on the other head pieces
Like the jeweled crowns is something that really can take your look from day to night
I think it looks so magical and romantic and timeless
My favorite dress is where the maxi flowy one's from the 60s and 70s, and I also really love the jeweled head pieces
I really like vintage dresses because I think they bring a real
Character and class and one-of-a-kind feeling to your wedding the drawbacks of vintage wedding dresses
Is that a lot of them are only available?
for rent since they're one of the kind of lot of the shops don't really want to sell them and
With that it needs to fit you perfectly and a lot of them have been altered many times. You got it up. Oh
You got it up. This dress is tiny. I don't know very
small
but
If I don't breathe, it fits me perfectly
So it may be a bit difficult to find the right style and fit that you want but if you do find one I do
think that there are a good option for
Either the whole wedding or even to change into a night for just a party or eloping or just a photo shoot
what would you say is the
Of choosing a vintage wedding dress over a modern one like hurry
Culturally knowledge knowledge Lee
You mean like it brings more to the table? Like there's some history behind it and some culture behind it
and I think I also like the idea that only you have it because
It's one-of-a-kind right when you find a vintage dress not many people in the world are gonna have that dress
Whereas a modern dress many people can buy the same style
So if you find one that suits that is suitable for you. You're it's like
it's like you're finding a
Gem or something like it's very rare
and yeah, it would be really nice trying on these dresses and exploring different trends and
looking at
iconic weddings from the past has made me really want to
Maybe try something different and not so modern or maybe mix the two or I
Don't know just do something unexpected maybe
let me know what you guys think which dresses were your favorite and
Which era was your favorite a big?
