Running Of The Brides

March 1st, 2008 @ 2:31 pm by Mrs. Lovebird

After I got back from the Running of the Brides yesterday I was beat. My lovely friends Christina and Lilibeth were kind/crazy enough to meet me after work to go with me. It is highly recommended to go with other people you know. Being that I am already a two dress bride, I just wanted to check it out and promised Mr. Lovebird I would try not to buy anything.

I was pleasantly surprised that there were still so many great dresses left. Even if you weren’t one of those people who camped out the night before, you could still find a great dress if you stopped by at the end of the day. Here are a few of the ones I tried on.

I tried this one on because I liked the back with the beautiful brooch and the fabric.

This one was my absolute favorite in terms of style and material and had it not been 3 dress sizes to big for me, I would have seriously gotten it.

I tried this one on because it was one of the smaller sizes we did find; although it was still a little too big to get a good feel for the dress.

We were there for about an hour and a half and this dress was the only size 4 we found. It fit perfectly! And I was soooooo tempted to get it. If I didn’t already have two dresses sitting at home, I would have bought this one. Man, now I wish I did. It was only $249 too. .:::kicking self::

This was the only mermaid style dress we found; although I’m sure there were others. The girls were egging me on the buy it but I wasn’t feeling it even though everyone else was. Maybe it was because it didn’t fit quite right since it wasn’t my size…

Overall, a great experience and if I didn’t already have two dresses, I would have surely walked away with at least one dress from this event. Highly worth checking out if this event rolls through your town and you are in the market for a great dress at a fraction of the cost. Most of the dresses I tried on were $249 and a majority of the sizes I saw were around size 10 and above.

Hi Ms. Lovebird!!

I was there for hours! The dresses look great on you. I believe I tried on one of the dresses you have posted. haha. That’s such a coincedence. It was a fun time searching through all those dresses even though some of them are hideous!

how funny… you must’ve picked up that henry roth (1st pic) dress after i finally decided to let it go!! i was there between 3-7pm (2.5 hours to find my gown, and 1.5 hours to help my friend find hers after work!) i had the hardest time deciding between that one and a 2Be gown that i ended up with…. i’m SO happy with my choice! =)

maybe i’ll post my finds in the boards later on… it is definitely a MUST GO event for brides-to-be!

I’m interested in attending Filene’s but live in LA. Are there dresses sizes 0-3?? I’ve been hearing most dresses are 10 and up and I don’t know if that is worth it….

Hi Margaret! I only found one dress that actually fit me, most of them were too big…as you can see from the pics above. Most of the dresses were size 10 and up. If you find cheap tickets from LA to the east coast, here are the upcoming sales: http://www.filenesbasement.com/bridal/
Good Luck!
