Good style is one thing that never goes out of style. Your clothes will last for many generations if you have a timeless sense of style!

This grandmother kept her wedding wardrobe in pristine condition, and her granddaughter wore it with just as much panache 70 years later!

Maddy Bill, a resident of Ambler, Pennsylvania, is 27 years old. She recorded a video for her TikTok account to show off the bag that her maternal grandmother Marie D’Alessandro Donato, 91, had given her.

The contents of the suitcase are quite intriguing. It includes every dress her grandma donned while visiting New York in 1952 on her honeymoon. According to the video, this is the first time someone else has opened the luggage in seventy years!

In order to preserve it for her children and grandkids, her grandmother, who had traveled on her honeymoon with her late husband Anthony James Donato, washed every item of clothing she had on. Well, it succeeded! Thousands of people are still appreciating her contributions on the internet 70 years later.

“I’ve always known about this suitcase ever since I was a little girl. My mom discovered it when she was a little older and she told me about it and she selflessly saved it for me and my sister for when we were of age,” said in an interview.

“I opened it up and I was just like, ‘This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,’ because it really just brought back everything to me, especially memories — my grandfather passed about 21 years ago — so just those memories of my grandparents in that time in their life, it’s just really cool,” she added.

Her grandparents, the Donatos, were married in 1952 and spent their honeymoon in New York City that May, visiting places in Manhattan like The New Yorker Hotel.

“She was like, ‘I did not care because I was with my honey’ — that’s what she called my pop pop,” Bill said. “And she had just a wonderful time just being with him and really just taking it all in — that there was this time in their life where they could start a family and all these things she’d always dreamed of,” she ended.

She received hundreds of responses after posting a video with just the luggage, encouraging her to try on the gowns, so she did. She tried on her grandmother’s gowns and her jewelry.

She fit everything well. She also remarked on how well-preserved the clothing was.

“It’s pretty cool how they’ve been so intact to this day, like it was 70 years ago [and] there’s elastic on some of the pieces and [they’re] still springy,” Madeline said.

She calls out to her husband: “Hey, come look! Our new neighbor is a real disaster. She doesn’t even know how to wash her laundry properly!” Later, she’s telling all her friends about the neighbor. “I swear, she can’t even wash her laundry right!” Time passes, and once again, the woman sees her neighbor hanging laundry — and, yep, still stained. She ran to her friends to gossip some more, and this time, they decided to see for themselves. They all gathered outside to take a look.

ALL MY RIGHT SHOES KEPT GOING MISSING AT HOME – I FOUND OUT SOMEBODY DID IT ON PURPOSE A few months ago, I married Randy, who has a 6-year-old daughter, Martha. After the wedding, I moved into Randy’s huge house, along with his mom and sister. Everything seemed fine… until two weeks ago, when something really strange started happening. One morning, I went to grab my sneakers for the gym, only to find one of them — the left one. The right shoe? Gone. I searched everywhere: my closet, under the bed, even in the kitchen. Nothing. It happened again when I was getting ready for a meeting. Left shoe? The right one was missing. It wasn’t just one pair — it was happening with every pair of shoes I owned. Every time, my plans were ruined. I was late, scrambling, and completely confused. I asked everyone in the house, but no one had any answers. Then, one day, while I was looking for an old film camera in the pantry, I found a half-open suitcase tucked away. I opened it, and my stomach dropped. Inside were all my missing right shoes. I froze. I knew exactly whose suitcase it was, and I stormed into the living room — only to learn a truth I never saw coming.

All my right shoes kept disappearing, and I was at my wit’s end trying to figure out why. When I finally uncovered the truth, it was about…

I FOUND MY DAUGHTER HAD A GARAGE SALE AND SOLD SOMETHING I CAN NEVER REPLACE I got back from my mom’s house and froze in shock. Right in front of my house was a sight no parent wants to see — my daughter, Miley, running a “garage sale” of my stuff. Precious things, things that meant the world to me. I ran up to her, barely able to speak. “Miley?! What is going on here?” “Hi, Mom!” she beamed, holding up a wad of cash. “Look how much money I made!” That’s when it hit me — Miley had actually sold some of my belongings. My heart dropped as I remembered the one thing that could have brought her “so much money.” “Where’s the precious box your dad gave me?” I asked, my voice shaking. 😳👇

MY FAMILY LEFT MY GRANDMA ALONE AT THE RESTAURANT TO DITCH THE CHECK—TOO BAD THEY MESSED WITH THE WRONG GRANDDAUGHTER For her 85th birthday, Grandma wanted a simple dinner. I planned exactly that—until the family hijacked it. Suddenly, it was a lavish event at the fanciest steakhouse in town. At dinner, they went all out. My cousin Katie posed for pictures, her brother Mark sampled all the expensive drinks, and Aunt Linda loudly recommended “only the premium options.” Then the bill arrived. Aunt Linda gasped. “Oh wow, look at that total…” “I spent all my savings on concert tickets. Live music is important for my mental health,” Katie sighed. “My dog’s vet bills are insane,” Mark added. “We figured you’d cover this one,” Uncle Joe said and turned to me, grinning. “You work at the bank, have no kids, live alone. What else are you spending money on?” And then the guilt trip—”It’s for Grandma. We might not have many more of these.” Oh. What a plan. I smiled. “Let me take care of something and we’ll get back to this,” I said and walked off. When I returned, the table was empty—except for Grandma, clutching her purse and looking scared. “Where’d everyone go? They said they’d be right back. Are we okay? Is everything paid for? I can cover some if I need to, sweetheart… I don’t have much with me but I’ve been saving up…” I hugged her. “Don’t worry, Grandma. Everything’s under control.” We finished our meal while the staff handled the rest. The next morning? My phone was blowing up. ⬇️See More
