Woman chops up her mum’s wedding dress to wear for her own rehearsal – but everyone’s saying the same thing
SHE wanted a special outfit to wear during her wedding rehearsal.
So Lilli decided to turn to her mum, and asked if she could recycle her vintage dress in the lead up to her big day.
“I got to wear my mom’s wedding dress to my wedding rehearsal,” Lilli wrote over a video of her mum doing the zip up on the dress.
But there was one dramatic difference in the dress when Lilli wore it.

She kept the oversized bow on the back though, and teamed the dress with some high bow-embellished heels.

“Tiny bit too short,” another added.
“Why’d you make it look like a prom dress?” someone else asked.
