If you know you love a designer, go to the sale looking for those specific pieces. Plus, this gives you the opportunity to revel in the full wedding dress shopping experience. You'll also have to act fast, since there's typically only one sample of each style, and according to Carine Krawiec, owner of Carine's Bridal Atelier in D.
Most importantly, only buy a dress if it can be altered realistically to your size. Krawiec says to ask an associate if the wedding dress can handle alterations, or take plenty of up-close photos from various angles to show to a tailor. Because sample sales tend to get overcrowded, don't bring an entire posse with you.
Grecco recommends asking one trustworthy friend or family member to tag along or be available via FaceTime as you shop. Also, since the sample sale dresses might run a little bit larger, Krawiec encourages enlisting a friend's help to hold the gown in any loose areas. Kruszka also advises budgeting for dry cleaning the gown , in case the hem or train is dirty.
Keep in mind, too, that the longer a dress has been in a sample sale, the lower the cost will go. Because you're buying at least nine to month-old inventory that's already been tried on by previous brides as opposed to ordering a brand new custom gown , some dresses might have a bit of wear and tear. Before you commit, look over the dress for any damages. Krawiec concurs, suggesting to look underneath the armpit, the train, the hem, the side seams, and the zipper.
If you're able to take time off work to hit a sample sale during the week, then by all means, do it. Krawiec warns that weekend sample sales are much more crowded. Not all sample sales will allow you to put a gown on hold, and some might even require a deposit on the dress if that's the case, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Carine's Bridal, for example, offers a nonrefundable hold policy and has brides make a 15 percent deposit on the wedding dress. Just like standard wedding dress shopping, this should be a given. Stick with nude, seamless underwear to get the gown's full effect. Recently, it seems more and more bridal designers and boutiques have opened separate stores dedicated to selling discounted designer sample dresses.
