Im going next weekend to a dress trunk show and although I have a dress in mind that I found at a local shoppe I havent purchased that yet so I want to make sure Im 100% certain.  Well anyway I am posting this because I have never been to a trunk show before.  On the invite they showed some photos of gowns.  I have been desperatly searching for the Maggie Sottero Brielle but no luck around here and in the loaner program its only available in a 6 and I am a 16 in bridal.  Well long behold one of the photos was Brielle! I almost screamed! Do you think that they would have this dress there or what?  And also if I find something I like there (its at a hotel) do you buy the sample or do you order it? And also do you have to pay for the gown in full? Thanks for the help bees

I got my dress at a trunk show, but it was at a gown store not a hotel.  It was a Maggie Sottero and Sottero & Migdley trunk show and I ended up getting my dress that day. I’m not sure if it’s the same at all trunk shows, but at the one I got my dress at you ordered a brand new one and they offered 10% off.  There was also no sales tax.  I’m not sure if that was a benefit or if there’s just always no sales tax in Massachusetts since they don’t charge it on clothes.  I had to put half down and I pay the other half before I start alterations.  Like I said, that was at the actual dress store though, it might be a different sort of thing if it’s held at a hotel.
