What time of year do sample gowns go on sale?

I think it depends on the store. I got mine at a sample sale, and they told us that they hold the sale every 2-3 months. If you have a store in mind with dresses you really like, maybe just call them up and find out when the next one is! Good luck!

On average it's March and November. It can vary within those months. They do it after the biggest seasons are over. Some bridal salons keep a sale section where they put their unwanted sample gowns. Other salons like Priscilla of Boston or Kleinfelds make it a huge grand event with tons of samples. Sign up for emails at different salons to stay updated.

In most cases sample gowns don't get discontinued for about 2-3 years. It all depends on the manufacturer.

Depending on the manufacturers cutting schedule, they usually discontinue April-June and November-January. Other times manufacturers will discontinue if they are having problems with lace or consistent fabric color, the dye lots have to match the samples.

There are sample dresses on sale all year long. With the economy, it should be easy to score a great deal on a great dress.

Good luck!

Usually at the end of a season or the beginning of a new season when the new styles come out.
