Running of the Brides....

Has anyone ever been to a running of the brides? If so, would you recommend it? How was the experience? What designers were represented? Were the savings worth it? I just want general information to help me determine if it's worth me going to one.

Thank you!

i went and i bought my dress there! i went at night so it wasn't hectic. There's tons of dresses but you really have to dig but it's fun if you just want to try on dresses. I really lucked out with mine

soo running of the brides is a huge sample sale im guessing? How can I find out about thosee..

I took this from their faq page:

Where does Filene’s Basement get the gowns?


We get them from bridal gown manufacturers and from bridal salons and boutiques. Our buyer has developed great contacts in the wedding gown industry, both in the United States and in Europe. Dresses become available for a variety of reasons—a cancelled order, a cancelled wedding, a small shop needing to make space for new gowns, and so on. We buy nothing ‘sight unseen.’ The buyer travels to where the gowns are, and hand picks the best ones.
