Open Question: Cleaning Sample Sale Gowns
March 6th, 2007 @ 2:33 pm by Open Question
Hello Weddingbee!
I journeyed over to Union Square last week for the infamous Running of the Brides!! And thankfully, I did find a beautiful gown for a bargain price!!
But now I’m stuck with details that bridal salons would normally take care of, such as cleaning, pressing, and alterations. I have some scuff marks on the gown and some of the embroidery has come undone on the bodice. I was wondering how brides-to-be have taken care of such issues with gowns purchased @ sample sales and etc. I do not want to get it professionally cleaned b/c I think it will be quite pricey at about $200+. Would spot cleaning work?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Sample Sales Have More Than Dresses
February 27th, 2007 @ 4:37 pm by Mrs. Lemon
Hello, my name is Miss Lemon and I have been addicted to sample sales for the past ten years. It started with a simple flier posted on my college campus and a few Saturday sales, and then it grew into a weekly obsession spanning both coasts. I thought I could keep my obsession under wraps, but then they introduced online sample sales! And when it came to bridal bargains… how could I even think to stay away!
My first sample sale bargain was my dress… the holy grail of all wedding bargains. I had tried on multiple dresses last May and June in front of my friends, and found “the one” at Monique Lhuillier. Sadly, when I got the price card (which is still in my desk on right now) the grand total added up to $7000 with taxes and alterations. I pondered the situation over some gelato, where my friends promptly convinced me that dress was “the one”… but I knew that my coupon-clipping heart couldn’t stand to make that big of a splurge.
So I did what any budget savvy fashionista would do… I waited for a sale. ML happens to have 2 sample sales every year, so at best I would have two chances to snag my dress. Fast forward to mid-July, and as I gently scoured the racks and racks of dresses, I saw the sweetheart neckline and my knees fell weak. The price tag was even better… almost $5000 cheaper than full price. All it took was another quick try-on, a detailed examination of every inch of the dress (it was practically brand new!), a quick swipe of the credit card and it was mine! BWAHAHAHAHA!
