Got My Wedding Dress!

Soo Feb. 27th I went to Filene's Basement - Running of the Brides.
These events are huge! Hosted by Filene's Basement, these events are a great way for brides to get their wedding dress at extremely discounted prices, as in all dresses are $249-$699! (they retail for anywhere from $1000 - $9000) They bring in over 1500-3000 brand name & designer wedding gowns.

Doors opened at 8:00am. I got there at around 7:00am & the line was going around 3 blocks - sooo many people. Some brides brought 4-8 girls with them. I brought my 2 sisters - we had no chance - LOL.
We got up there at 8:02am and all the racks were empty!!! We had to start looking around for people leaving dresses around, get w/e other people didn't want, trade with people - crazy experience!
All-in-all, I got a dress!! I can't post it 'cause Kenny will flip out if he sees my dress - lol - he doesn't want to see it :)

TIPS:

1. Bring at least 3 people with you
2. Get there early - so you can get the closest you can to the front door
3. Bring Signs
4. Dress in the same colors or theme
5. KEEP the dresses you don't like or don't fit; later on people will only trade with you - so keep the dresses 'cause in like 30mins it will start to die down & people will only trade with you if you have a dress to give them - they will not give you a dress that they don't like or doesn't fit for free!
6. Bring a mirror
7. Bring a camera
8. Dress in a sports bra/tank top & leggings/bike shorts, cause you will have to change right there in the middle of the store in front of people if the changing rooms are filled - which they fill in 2.5secs!
9. Don't stress - people start to leave dresses & start putting them back on the racks after 2-3 hours - lol
