Trunk Show

nope. You go and all of the dresses from the designer are out on racks, usually for the upcoming season, but sometimes all of the dresses are there. Actually typically all of the dresses are there. Anyways, you go, you look a consultant, you try on a ton of dresses, and if you like and purchase it, you get like 10-20% off depending on the designer! Usually you leave half of the deposit for the dress when you order.

A couple of things

The dresses are usually the pieces used in the show and in print. So they are a sample size. Don't be scared... they just clamp you close.

Bring the pic of the dress you are interested in and call ahead to make sure it is there. I did this, and thank god I did b.c my dress wasn't going to be at the trunk show. They shipped it there specifically so I can try it, and I ordered it on the spot :)

I am not sure if you started looking around, but Macy's - Herald Square is having a Trunk show the weekend of June 19th.

GOOD LUCK!
