Woman tries grandmother’s 1950s honeymoon wardrobe and people can’t believe how good it is

“After opening it, I thought, ‘This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,’ because it really brought back so many memories for me, especially those of my grandparents at that particular time in their lives. My grandfather passed away about 21 years ago, so it’s just really amazing,” the woman continued.

After her grandparents, the Donatos, were married in 1952, they traveled throughout Manhattan on their honeymoon, stopping at The New Yorker Hotel.

Bill recalled her saying, “I did not care because I was with my honey,” referring to her as his father-in-law. “And she had an amazing time spending time with him and truly absorbing the fact that they were at a point in their lives where they could begin a family and pursue all of her life’s goals,” she concluded.

 

After her grandparents, the Donatos, were married in 1952, they traveled throughout Manhattan on their honeymoon, stopping at The New Yorker Hotel.

After sharing a video of herself with just the suitcase, she received hundreds of messages encouraging her to try on the gowns, which she did. She tried on dresses and jewelry belonging to her grandma.

She was a perfect fit for everything. She also mentioned how neatly the clothes had been kept.

Madeline remarked, “It’s kind of amazing how intact they are, considering it was 70 years ago. Some of the pieces still have their springiness, thanks to the elastic.”

She displayed her first item for her fans, which has fascinated her since she was a small child. A black dress that hugged the waist with short sleeves. She discloses that she had always been drawn to a picture of her grandmother wearing the outfit when she was staying at the New Yorker hotel.

She also tried on a sleeveless top, skirt, and fine gray jacket that she said her grandmother had worn on the train to the big city. Without a sure, she has great sense of style!

She can’t wait to share a part of her grandmother with the world and show off what a wonderful woman she is.

Madeline Bill says she told her grandmother about how famous she was and how everyone loved her sense of style.

“I want to keep it for someone, that’s for sure. I want it to be treasured for someone in my future also, like my grandma did for me, not just an item of clothing that is used right now. Perhaps it will be my future child or a wonderful someone who is younger than me,” the woman added.

What a beautiful story illustrating the special bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter!

Tell this story to show everyone how stylish we were in the 1950s!
