Product placement

Goodwill bins: a thrift store where items are sold by weight. It ACTS as the source of the dress. Removing it would change the origin story of the dress. This video does not mention any other brands or products.

OKAY OKAY HERE’S PART 2 😂💜 I genuinely cannot believe how well this worked 😭 The way the fabrics took the dye differently?! And I ended up with this gorgeous two toned purple because the flower appliqué was cotton?! OBSESSED!! Genuinely better than I could have even anticipated.. Would you have taken this gamble??
