Brides choose to wear vintage wedding dresses for many reasons, for example, because of savings, because such an outfit is often cheaper, other girls because of conscious consumption or the uniqueness of the dress.

Therefore, Kate decided to wear a dress that she already had - the wedding dress of her grandmother, who got married in 1961.

Kate's grandmother complemented the dress with a simple veil and a glamorous tiara, but her mother decided to change the design of the dress and make it more in line with the fashion of the 80s, so the dress had lush sleeves, like

Kate admitted to Insider that she never planned to wear this dress because it doesn't match her style.

And she also didn't like how her mother had remade her.

She once even planned to wear this outfit to a Halloween party, but then the zipper on the dress broke and she had to wear a different costume.

But still, she was a fan of the original look of the dress worn by her grandmother, so she wanted to remake it, bringing back the original design.

Kate took the dress to the atelier and, unfortunately, the seamstress said the lace sleeves were fraying with age, so they would have to be removed.

Also, her skirt was made a little smaller, and waist inserts were made from the remaining fabric, as her figure was different from her mother's and grandmother's figures.
