For all you ladies out their who could play the lead role in 27 dresses in real life, I have an amazing site for you. Newlymaid is a website that takes your old bridesmaid dresses and gives you a little black dress! Let’s face it, as hard as brides try to find a dress you will “wear again” it hardly ever happens. Those dresses that are just hanging in your closet collecting dust can be recycled or donated by Newlymaids and in return you will be looking killer in a new LBD.

 How it works: Newlywed accepts dresses from all manufactures in the bridal industry. The dress must be in good quality condition. They will send you a pre-paid mailer to send in your old dress. Once the dress is received and inspected, you will be emailed the special pricing. Once you log on to your newlymaid accound you can begin shopping for your new fabulous black dress. More details available here.

Hi, I’m Zeta Pongonis, and I am the face behind Kewpie Dolly accessories. I specialize in custom hair pieces and fascinators for all occasions, as well as handmade jewelry. My pieces are most commonly comprised of real antique brooches, real feathers, leather, old earrings, and other broken jewelry that I re-purpose into fresh new looks. I love thrifting and antiquing to find the right pieces for my creations. I also love to work with brides, because I am creating for a subject in mind, and it’s a great challenge to channel someones personality into a piece using flowers, colors or personal keepsakes. Most often the wedding veil is removed after the ceremony, so it’s great to have another option for adorning the brides hair throughout the whole evening. I have even worked with bridesmaids to make matching feather fascinates to their dresses. 

I sell at 3 Boutique in Powell, Milk Bar in the Short North, and I also have an etsy account at,www.etsy.com/kewpiedolly Come check me out, or hit me up for a custom piece!
