Christina Pereira had been dreaming for years of seeing her daughter wear her wedding dress from 1994. However, when her daughter tried on the dress preserved for 30 years in a box, they realized it was not the same dress. The dry cleaning business that had the dress is now closed, so the family turned to social media to find the missing dress, receiving over 700,000 views and 70,000 likes on TikTok. They hope someone recognizes the dress and returns it to Christina, who has cherished it for three decades.
The missing dress was described as elegant and made Christina feel like Cinderella on her wedding day. She bought it in 1993 at a David’s Bridal warehouse and had it altered to fit her petite frame. The dress was adorned with lace and subtle beading, making it truly special for her. Christina’s daughter planned to wear the dress at her own wedding, but now faces the possibility of not finding it in time.
The Pereira family shared their story on social media in hopes of finding the missing dress, and have received numerous leads and support from people who want to help. Christina described the dress as a symbol of her marriage, blessings, and dreams, making its loss deeply emotional for her. If the dress is not found in time, Samantha plans to wear her own dress for her wedding, but the significance of her mother’s dress remains irreplaceable.
