After showing before and after photos of the dress, viewers saw that Brittany has turned the garment into a chic co-ord for her rehearsal dinner.
“Third generation wedding dress turned into a rehearsal dress,” she wrote in the caption.
In the short clip, the TikToker walks into the wedding venue wearing a chic ivory lace two-piece with puff-sleeves.
As Brittany walks closer to her nan, the elderly woman's jaw-dropping reaction sees her shouting: "Oh my god… no way."
In the emotional moment the nan gives her granddaughter a tight-hug.
Later on in the clip, we get to see what the original dress looked like on her nan.
It featured long sleeves and scoop neckline, along with a short, shoulder-length veil.
Brittany also shows pictures of what the dress looked like when her mum wore it.
Looking a little different to the previous dress, the garment had undergone some changes with the addition of puff sleeves and a flattering sweetheart neckline.
The clip, which was uploaded six days ago, has racked up almost 10 million views.
Some viewers were completely shocked by the video, as one person wrote: "Wouldn't have cut it into 2 pieces. You can alter it to be the more current style but now the next generation doesn't have a dress…"
A second added: "The cut is gorgeous but i would hate to cut such a dress if it were for 3 gens."
"This is why I can’t wear my mother’s dress because my sister took it completely apart and altered it to the point I can’t fit into it," a third said.
Meanwhile, others thought the whole moment was just 'precious'.
Another person wrote: "This is so sweet. Also the dress is beautiful on everyone."
Someone else said: "Realistically if it’s the 3rd gen I wouldn’t be mad it got cut, fashion changes. I’d just be happy seeing it kept in the family!"
“I’m in tears,” a third commented.
What do you think of Brittany's decision?
