Clothing can mean so much more than what we choose to wear. Sure, there are shirts or dresses we may forget about entirely one day. But there are others so deeply associated with special moments and people we love, they become a type of family heirloom. That’s certainly the case for a dress that Agnes Wilhelmsen’s grandma once wore.

This wasn’t just any dress. It was the exact dress that Grandma had worn to the wedding of Agnes’ parents. Their big day took place in 1982, but the dress still looks as beautiful as the day that Grandma first wore it. This no doubt added to the reason why Grandma was so eager to officially hand over that very dress to Agnes herself. See how she looks in it, and Grandma’s reaction, in the video below!

Wow! Style has changed so much since Grandma first wore that dress, but it still looks absolutely beautiful. Plus, it seems to fit Agnes perfectly. While these factors are amazing, of course, the dress is about so much more than the way it looks. There’s the fact that Grandma wore the dress to the wedding, of course — plus, Agnes’ dad passed away 11 years ago.
“This made her life. To see the girl she loves the most in her dress…” someone points out in reply to Agnes’ heartwarming video, with another person adding, “Aww… I can’t imagine the many Deja vu feelings she had at that moment. You both look beautiful [in it].”
“I was so lucky to have been able to wear my mother’s wedding dress at my own wedding,” a third person shares of their own story. “Her mother had made the dress for her, and then I got to wear it also. It was so beautiful.”
