Hello! Who makes the first dress of this post?!!!
Hi Courtney! Monique Lhuillier is the designer. Here is the listing:

First dress is fantastic, thanks for the link above. Second dress is amazing too. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with Courtney, that first one is fabulous! It would look great with a simple hair piece too!
This is a perfect idea. Wedding dresses are only used once and they stay in good shape
I LOVE this site and spend countless hours on it and eventually it was where I got my own dress. I bought it for $500 less than anywhere I found in retail. I went actual dress shopping several times with the intention of buying secondhand. I found the one I loved and lucked out by finding a bride on this site that changed her mind was selling the exact one in my size! never worn or altered :) I can't wait to wear it in June. Awesome idea!!
I got my dress from this site! (Which I actually found through SMP!)
I love that you can customize your search. I already knew what dress I wanted, and I was able to find the exact dress, size and everything, for HALF PRICE! It was amazing!
I highly recommend it!
I got my dress off that site too! I just bought it a month agao. It's a brand new, tags still on Lazaro! I got for a fraction of the cost! I highly recommend it!
I got my dream dress on this website for $600 less than the original price! Luckily, I lived only a few minutes from the girl who was selling it, so I was able to see it in person before purchasing it.
I actually found SMP through preowned wedding dresses.com!!! It was a very happy day for me and I've been hooked on SMP since!
I love this website, I just wish that there were more Canadian postings, or people willing to ship to Canada!!
these dresses are lovely!! So happy i stumbled
upon your blog!! Be sure to check out gramercy boutique's blog!

Oooh, so cool!! :) That lace dress at the top is gorgeous and I'm not usually into lace, but that dress is just amazing! Beautiful :)
I've seen a LOT of wedding dresses in my day, (photographer) ...and I gotta say that 1st one is elegant and beautiful. Loving it! (So what, I'm a guy who loves detail shots, sue me!) =Matt=
Hey what a great idea, an awesome way of getting the dress you dreamed of without breaking the bank - and some of these are just lovely.
I'm having fun looking at the options on that site. I am especially loving the first one you showed here on the blog. It is GORGEOUS!
I looked everywhere for my dream dress (a lovely lace and organza Anne Barge gown) but since it was past season, no boutique had it anymore. I found it brand new with tags attached at PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com and I got it for $1,000. It retailed for over $5,000!
I also ended up finding a fabulous Sara Gabriel veil from there---it retailed for $600 or $650 and I got it for $100. The veil had been worn once, but it was in perfect condition. It matched absolutely perfectly with my dress. I received so many compliments on both my dress and my veil. People could not believe that I got them at such deep discounts.
There is a bit of a risk when buying online, but most sellers have a return policy wherein you can at least see the item and decide if you want it and if not, then you can send it back in the same condition and just absorb the shipping costs.
I love the wedding dresses on here.
Beautiful gowns, great idea!
