Our Designers
Our exclusive but exceptional small designers are independent and fashion-forward. They share our standards for quality and kindness, great design, and good business.
We carry only a selection of styles from each designer, but most can be customized to make your preferred look. Browse our designers’ sites to see their full collections for inspo, and save dream dresses to share with your stylist.

TRUNK SHOWS & EVENTS
Trunk Shows are a weekend (or longer!) event where we host a specific designer’s newest collection or most popular pieces. The designer will sometimes visit and we often take the opportunity to have a little extra fun in the shop. Trunk Show appointments are made the same way as any appointment and do not limit you to only trunk show samples, unless specifically stated.

SAMPLE SALE
NEXT SAMPLE SALE JANUARY 2026
APPOINTMENTS TO BE ANNOUNCED
A Sample Sale is a semi-annual store-wide event where we have a lot of extra samples for sale off-the-rack at their most discounted prices, typically $500 - $2,000, with a few outliers and some $200 separates. During Sample Sale events, our Special Order Collection is not available for viewing or try-on, appointment times and parameters are more limited, and crowds are larger. We still keep things more controlled chaos than running-of-the-brides, but come prepared to buy a bargain.
Samples are all in good to great condition and come in a range of sizes from 2 - 24, with most circling around a size 10 – 14. There are deals to be had, but almost always alterations or some imagination is needed. Follow along on Instagram to be the first to hear about Sample Sales and see preview pieces.
And don’t forget that if you miss the big sales, we always have a sample rack available to see by making a one-hour Vintage & Sample Appointment Tuesday–Friday or at our Sample Walk-in Hours every Sunday 4–6pm.
