Some people put a lot of stock in family heirlooms, but most of those heirlooms happen to be jewelry and such. However, when this one woman received her grandmother's vintage capsule wardrobe, she was more than happy to show it off.
Her series of TikTok videos have now become viral, and I'm going to tell you exactly why so read on below.
And recently, her mother passed down a family heirloom to her. Guess what it was? Her grandmother's capsule wardrobe which has been stored away in a suitcase since 1952. Wow! How amazing is that?
Oh my goodness, Madeline took no time to try the clothes on, and to her surprise, they fit like a glove. So she decided to post about one of the outfits on TikTok.
Since then, Madeline has posted additional videos showing off other outfits from her grandmother's capsule wardrobe. When other people saw the clips, they started calling her grandma a "style icon." And it's easy to see why.
All of which fit Madeline to a tee. One outfit stood out of the bunch — a black halter dress with a matching cardigan. Madeline grew up seeing it in a photograph that her grandparents kept in their living room.
She always idolized her grandmother. Now she's happy to be able to share her story with everybody she knows. You see, the capsule wardrobe was very special to her grandmother. It contained the clothes she wore on a honeymoon trip with her new husband to New York City.
Once she saw her granddaughter in the clothes she once wore, it brought back a lot of happy memories. Madeline's grandparents met just after her grandfather came back from WWII. They were out dancing when they spotted each other.
They went to New York on their honeymoon and stayed at the New Yorker Hotel. Madeline's grandmother can still recall that faithful trip even at 91-years-old.
Even her grandfather's sister got teary-eyed when she saw Madeline in the capsule wardrobe. It reminded her of her late brother. Aww, that must've been so special for her.
But for now, she's putting them away so she can preserve them for the future. Perhaps one day, she can pass them on to her daughter. Wouldn't that be amazing or what? I think her grandmother would absolutely love that.
