PreownedWeddingDresses.com

We love this site! It is the perfect solution for brides who would like to save some money on their dream dress that has been lovingly worn only once. When I was searching for my gown, I looked high and low on this website but couldn't find one in my size so I paid full price at a salon. After my wedding, I sold my Melissa Sweet Dora dress on this very site to a gorgeous San Diego bride. She loved my dress as much as I did and even sent me pictures.

All of the top designer dresses are available like this stunning Christos gown....

Happy gown shopping!

Many beauties at the award show on Sunday but there were a few standouts for The Makeup Dolls. The look for this award show...soft shadow, lots of black liner, tons of lashes and barely there cheeks and lips. Anyone of these looks would be wedding day or any and everyday perfect!
