Can I make an appointment?

Sample sale is first come, first serve. There are no
appointments.

Will there be a line? How does the entry process work?

Customers generally form a line very early in the morning to get those coveted first entrance spots. Before the sale opens, our security team will assign you a number.  Please make sure your entire party arrives together as entry is based on numerical order.

  •  No holding spots in line - everyone must arrive together and stay together.
  • Line skipping, cutting in front of others, and being unfriendly is not kind and will not be tolerated.

Are there private fitting rooms for my group and my own viewing area?

No, this is a communal fitting room with shared racks and limited mirror space! We advise wearing modest undergarments that you are comfortable in changing in front of others! Bike Shorts and sports bras work great to hop in and out of styles!

Once you decide something is not for you, please hang it back on the racks for another bride to try!

What should I bring with to the Sample Sale?

Very limited personal belongings. You will be carrying everything on your person in line as well the sale itself is very busy! You won’t want a ton of layers to have to keep track of once you are inside.
