Four Advantages to Buying a Wedding Dress Off The Rack

Every season designers come out with new dresses. Bridal shops often hold sample sales to get rid of discontinued or older styles.  They have to make room for new wedding dresses. Many hold samples sales. There are also bridal shops dedicated to only selling sample wedding dresses, like The Dress Matters. Here are four advantages to buying your dress off the rack.

1. You can take your dress home with you that day. You don't have to order a dress and wait months for the dress to come in. If you've waited until the last moment to get your dress, you are in luck since you can get the dress the same day. 

2. Your dress is there and it makes it easy to match up shoes, veil and jewelry with your dress. There is no guessing game as to if the accessories will look great with the dress when it arrives.  

3. You can save LOTS of money. Sample dresses are usually discounted 25-75% off. The dresses have been tried on, but many are in great shape. If it's a more unique dress, it may be brand new and never tried on by anyone. 

4. You don't need your shoe height to order the dress. This is great for a bride who prefers to select the dress first and then pick a shoe to go with it. 

A sample dress that is off the rack is a great way to get a bargain for your wedding. You can get a beautiful designer wedding dress for less. With all the wedding expenses you'll have, saving money on the dress will help you have the wedding of your dreams.

That is a good point that buying a wedding dress off the rack means you could take it home that day. Maybe it would be good to get a wedding dress off the rack sometime soon. This is something I will have to look into for my daughter.

It's amazing that sample dresses can be up to 75% off the original price! I'm hoping to get a good dress for my wedding but I have no idea where to start! When I go to a boutique, I'll definitely think about buying a dress off the rack.

How helpful that you talk about how a sample dress off the rack can be great savings. I am engaged and looking for a bridal gown this summer. I will find a great bridal gown shop in my area.

My older sister is getting married this winter, and she hasn't found her wedding dress yet. She's running out of time, but she's still trying to find the perfect dress, so I think it wouldn't hurt if she read your advice. Thanks for explaining that off-the-rack dresses are unique and cost-saving.
