ALL OF THE GOWNS IN THE GOWN SALE ARE NEW.
Over 70% of the gowns in the sale this year have come straight
from the designers and have never even been tried on!! The regular
retail of these gowns are anywhere from $699-$2499, and will be
priced from $299-$999 (there are only about 10-20 gowns that are
$899 and $999, respectively, to be clear). The rest of the gowns
are samples from the shop that have been tried on, some more than
others. Of these, many are current gowns that can still be
ordered, and some are older or discontinued gowns. A few may need
a new zipper or need to be dry-cleaned, and are priced
accordingly. There are seamstresses on-site to advise on
alterations and any repairs. The regular retail of these shop
dresses are $499-$2599, and most are priced $99-$799 (some are
even less than $99). Most of the gowns in the fashion show will be
available for sale after the show, but not as deeply discounted as
those in the sale!
