You guys, I totally scored last night!
I stopped by my local Bloomingdales makeup counter to ask if they do application with purchase, since I want to have my face done up for my Sunday Chinese banquet. Before I left the store, I perused the dress department. I came across this lovely ivory taffeta number by BCBG:
Nordstrom is selling it for $400 right now, but it won’t be available until October 31st.
Guess how much I got it for…
$148!!
Seriously! What a steal! And it’s SO much cuter in person.
Since I just snagged the dress last night, there are probably some sizes left at other stores. Call up a Bloomingdales near you. If they don’t have your size, they’ll be happy to check the inventory of other Bloomies and give you a list of those that have your size in stock. You can call the stores yourself and have them ship the dress directly to you.
It’s Chinese tradtion to change into three or four dresses throughout the wedding night. I was going to forgo that tradition because I couldn’t find anything cute or affordable. That is, until yesterday! Now I have a dress I can dance in comfortably. I’ll probably change into it towards the end of the night, perhaps cake cutting?
Here’s one last picture of the dress, from Paul Johnson Photography (thanks for finding this one, Mrs. Ant!):
so cute! i’m cutting right to the “cute” chase as my wedding dress is t-lenght. i’m you’re look so sweet in this. can’t wait to see pictures.
I just saw this dress on another blog the other day! (From the same wedding) It’s freakin adorable.
you’re so gonna look smokin in it! it’s so cute! lub it!
sooo cute & awesome deal! i can’t wait to see your pics.
Ooh-do you happen to know what the style # is to help me when I call Bloomingdales? Thanks!
Yes, yes the style number please!
griffen & SL: i don’t have the style number 
BUT i can tell you that i did have to call around to find my size. i asked for the dress department and when i got to an associate, I told them, “i’m looking for a short off white BCBG taffeta dress with flower appliques all over.” They knew what i was talking about.
Okay ladies, I just got the last one down here in LA at the Beverly Center, yay! The style number is 653299541268. Happy Hunting!
Oh, and many many thanks Miss Eggplant, I owe my perfect rehearsal dinner dress to you!
BTW, griffen, if you find a deal on some matching ivory shoes, let us know! 
Would you have the sku number??… because the style number will not let them check to see if they have it in other stores.
I’m picking it up after work tonight, so I’ll let you know the sku when I get home (around 10).
Got one! The SKU is 53299541268. The last 2 digits vary by dress size. I was also told by a Bloomingdale’s employee that the style # above is not correct, and that the style # contains letters.
ahh, i tried uisng the sku number but now they say there is a upc number? under the barcode? they said if they physically scanned the dress, they could check if it is at other stores but the stores i called didn’t have it =(
So cute. I could never get away with that dress because to my mom, any white gown other than a full on floor length bridal is not fit for a bride because white is a Chinese funeral color. Sigh. Bleh.
Wow. I went to pick mine up and they said if I didn’t need it until the 30th, I could “pre-sale” it. I had no idea what that meant. Apparently this dress is going on 40% off (I think the $148 is 25% off) soon and that if I gave my cc# to hold it until then I could get the deeper discount. AND, it had the smallest little smudge on one side, so they gave me 15% off on top of the 40%! So, on the 30th of this month I go pick it up for a grand total (tax incl.) of $109.31! Ms. Eggplant, I could just kiss you!
The only # on my tag is 653299541305. Which is different from the one above. I’m really sorry, that’s all I have :(.
warning - b/c it’s on sale bloomies might not be so helpful in the finding it.
I had a HORRIBLE experience with them. I purchased my BM dressed from them and then realized on girl needed a larger size. In the meantime it had went on sale. I call them up, had to speak to a manager, they assure me they find it and it is on it’s way. My card is never charged, dress never arrives. I guess they were too busy to deal with a lowly “shops the sales rack” customer. Good news though, I got nordies to find it for me, and they prices matched the bloomies price. I will probably not shop bloomies again.
