Attention So Cal Brides: If you haven't found "the gown" yet make sure to check out this weekend's event at The Dresser.
When: This Sunday, August 22nd from 10:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m.
Where: The Dresser Bridal
112 W. Commonwealth Ave
Fullerton, CA 92832
(714) 870-7101
What: Wedding Gown Blow Out Sale
This is a CASH ONLY event.
{No children under age 12 are allowed in the store during the sale.}
What is a Sample Sale?
A sample sale is when a Bridal Boutique sells gowns that are basically new but may have served as dresses to be tried on at that Boutique. Often the gowns are from a past season, but not necessarily. The gowns are usually in pretty good or new condition. Gowns must be purchased off the rack, not special ordered.
If you want a designer gown but don't want to pay the designer price tag, a sample sale is your best bet!
Although I don't know which designers are being offered at this weekend's sale, here is a list of some of the designers that have been offered at previous Dresser sales:
Mori Lee, Allure, Winnie Couture, Maggie Sottero, Casablanca, Essense of Australia, Pronovias, San Patrick, Mon Cheri, and Sophia Tolli
Maggie Sottero and Winnie Couture are just a couple of my personal favorites. Our brides seem to love Winnie Couture.

What should I expect?
If the sale is run as it has been in years past, a line will form outside the store several hours before the event starts, so if you want first pick you should get there early. Admission to the store is first come first serve, and only a select number of ladies are allowed in the store at a time. You get a certain time frame (like 15 minutes) to find your dress. If you don't find it the first time, you can get back in line and have a second go at it.
Sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 (some plus sizes available)
Prices: $100-500 {generally a 50% or higher discount}
Alterations: When deciding whether to purchase the dress or not, take a few minutes to think about what alterations may be needed, if any, and how much those alterations may cost. Factor the cost of the alterations into the cost of the gown before you make your purchase. Like any other wedding gown, these gowns are not able to be returned.
The Benefits:
1) Get a designer gown at a price you can afford.
2) You won't have the same dress as every other girl this season.
3) You get to experience a "mini" Running of the Brides experience without going to Boston.
Happy Shopping!
Maybe we will see you there and get a new gown for our Style Sessions.
