I just started wedding dress shopping & I really want to find a designer dress but not spend the designer cost. Does anyone know when any sample sales are in the NYC or DC areas? How do find out about them? I have googled "sample sales" but haven’t had much success.
THANKS!

checkout your favorite designers and bridal stores websites! they usually have them listed. also be advised that they have limited sizes and they are often damaged and/or dirty so don’t forget to factor in the cost of cleaning and repairs. good luck! 
p.s. i found my dress at the filenes basement running of the brides!!!

Kleinfeld’s has sample sales- they do two different kinds- one with appointments and one where you wait in line and just go through the dresses. I found out about them through emails from TheKnot.com (local vendor emails- I’m in NYC) but maybe check the Kleinfeld website as well.
