Young woman stuns in 91-year-old grandma's honeymoon clothes
A woman on TikTok has gone viral for giving her grandmother's clothes new life, 70 years after they were stashed away.
Maddy Bill, 27, found a suitcase that was full of her grandmother's clothes that she wore on her honeymoon in 1952, and hadn't seen the light of day since.
In a now-viral video on the social media platform, Maddy tried on all of the clothes and showcased the striking likeness to her grandmother, 70 years on.
"My grandmother kept all her honeymoon clothes in this suitcase to this day. Opening it up 70 years later," she wrote in the clip, which has been viewed more than six million times.
Maddy showed herself in the clothes, alongside pictures of her grandmother, who is now 91, wearing them on her honeymoon to New York City.
The suitcase full of clothes had been handed down to Maddy's mother, as the pair decided to reminisce together and find out what was inside.
"When my mom and I opened it up, it was like all the photographs I saw of my grandma growing up came to life," Maddy gushed.
'It was remarkable because I felt like we were bringing the past to life. Everything is honestly in pretty amazing condition."
The first thing she tried on was a black, button-down dress, which her grandma Marie had worn out to dinner during the honeymoon.
"I can't even describe the feeling of putting it on for the first time and having it fit perfectly."
When Marie saw her granddaughter in it, she was flooded with nostalgia and memories from her trip, making it feel like she was back on her honeymoon.
"I wish I was young again and could do it all over,' gushed Marie. "Seeing the dress fit her as perfectly as it fit me was like jumping back in time."
