Woman Proves She Still Wears Her 90s Bridesmaid Dress After Bride Apologizes For Them

You know how every single bride says that they pick their bridesmaid dresses because they could "easily wear them again?" Well, finally a bride has admitted she was wrong but her bridesmaid had the best response imaginable.

Tammi Sauer took to Facebook to celebrate her anniversary, but at the same time she apologized to the bridesmaids at her wedding.

She wrote "These two 22-year-olds are celebrating 22 years of marriage! Hubba hubba. My apologies for those dresses, ladies."

The handmade dresses were based on a pattern because the bride's distinct vision wasn't available in stores. “Apparently, not everyone in 1995 wanted a long, off-the-shoulder gown in a burgundy brocade fabric that looked like a Thanksgiving tablecloth,” the bride joked in an interview with Buzzfeed.

“Those dresses were handmade by moms, grandmas, and random seamstresses.”

But one of her bridesmaids decided that it was the perfect moment for a photoshoot. She enlisted her kids to take some photos so she could back up her friend's bad choice in the best way.

Heidi Mann posted the series of photos with a comment that said "What do you mean sorry about the dresses? I wear mine all the time."

The pictures showed her doing very normal things like laundry, watering the garden, and doing some work around the house.

Honestly, I don't know what to be more impressed by, the fact that she still had the dress, or the fact that it still fit after 22 years.

Her dress collection is actually pretty large and includes eight other bridesmaid dresses, three prom dresses and an eighth-grade recognition dress.

But why does she have so many old dresses? Well, Mann said they in storage at her mom's house until a few years ago. "Five years ago when we moved back from living in London she gave them to me. Now they are almost vintage."

She joked that they can still be used. "Really, I can’t get rid of them now! I have a daughter. She will want to wear them. You know she will."

Everyone who went to a wedding in the 90s has either seen or worn one of these dresses. It was the style at the time, and really we can't help that it was mildly horrible.

It's definitely not the worst bridesmaid dress out there, but at least Heidi Mann is happy to laugh at it! This is true friendship!

How many of you have worn a bad bridesmaid dress?

Fashion Experts Are Trying To Trick Us Into Wearing Flared Jeans Again And We Aren't Having It

By Tanya
Listen, I know fashion is cyclical. I know that things are going to go in and out of style, but here's the thing, not everything should. Fashion is also highly subjective. We all have our own opinions, but when the fashion magazines start telling us "this is what is in style" we all second guess our choices. Now, these experts are telling us to dust off our old flared jeans and honestly, I don't understand why. I know that flared jeans were huge in the disco-era, and I know this because when they came back in the late 90s and

If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have

25 Bridesmaids Dresses That'll Actually Make You Glad The 80s Are Over

By Tanya
Listen, getting married in the 80s was kind of wild. Not only did you have to deal with the big hair, mullets, and mustaches, but the fashion was a whole other bag of worms. There was no way to predict how insane the dresses were going to look, but it was always safe to assume they would be pretty wild. Puffy sleeves, shiny fabric, and a lot of ruffles seemed to be the norm at the time. Let's not forget that return to the Victorian era that saw women trying to dress like an old-time princess. But, we brave the

Cardigans Are Apparently Back In Style But The 90s Totally Did It Better

By Tanya
If we are being perfectly honest here, I didn't know cardigans ever really went out of style. Sure, people don't really wear them the same way as they used to, but there's still plenty available. But the thing is, the 90s were a prime time for sweater sets and cardigans. Not only were they available in a million color options, but they had a bunch of different designs and patterns that became popular. It seemed like every person had one either wrapped around their shoulders or wore it as a crop top in the 90s. Now they are apparently "back

15 Of The Most Important Celebrity Mullets That Are Too Iconic To Forget

By Tanya
Let's talk about mullets. Yes, mullets. Why? Because they are an important part of our past, one that we should look at with reverence and admiration, not disgust and agony. Listen, I know what you're thinking. "Mullets aren't cool anymore, why would you still admire them?" Well, because they were a thing of beauty. It was a commitment, it was a brave choice, it was a bold look, and it was iconic. It wasn't just your average Joe's haircut, it was every celebrity in Hollywood, rocking those multi-leveled hairstyles like you wouldn't believe. I know it's hard to remember now.

10 Fashion Disasters We All Suffered Through In The 80s That We Wish We Could Forget

By Tanya
Never in my life have I claimed to be fashionable. I am almost always years behind in trends, and honestly I just wear what is most comfortable. However, when we were all kids and young adults in the 80s, we obviously had a lot more time and energy to devote to our clothing choices and let's just say we all made some mistakes. Trying to keep up with the trends is not only exhausting, but it means you're going to end up with a lot of embarrassing pictures of your past. The trendy thing that was all the rage? Yep,
