LA sample sale (Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, Vera Wang, Amsale, Carolina Herrera, more)

[musey]

I got this notice this morning and figured I should pass it on to you lovely ladies, in case anyone will be able to go. I have to admit, I felt the twinge, but I already have a gown

(this needs to be my mantra!)

 

[LegacyGirl]

Oh I wish I could go!! How come they don''t ever do this stuff where I am?

 

[bee*]

Damn-that''s an amazing sale! Pity I''m living over here!

 

[Selkie]

Hey, that''s right down the street from where I work. Too bad I don''t need a wedding gown! Anyone want me to go shopping for them?

I don''t watch that show so I''m afraid I don''t get the ref... can someone fill me in

 

[EricaR]

ARrrrrrrrrr, I don''t know what to do!

1. Hello?! Sale!
2. I do need a wedding dress.
3. Most samples are size 8 or 10. I''m still at least a 12/14 in dress sizes, so I don''t know if I could properly try things on.
4. Stupid as this sounds, I don''t have any of the proper undergarments right now.

5. Sale! Sale! Discounts!!!
6. My dress trying on buddies are busy this weekend so I''d have to go alone.

What should I do?!

 

[Mrs in CA]

Erica, I live near by and would be happy to come with you!

J

 

[LegacyGirl]

Go Erica!! I wish I could.

Oh I am sorry!

In one of the early episodes of Friends Monica and Rachel end up buying wedding dresses at a sample sale and walking around in them all day, it''s hilarious. You should try to see that episode, I need to see it again too cause I can''t remember all the details. I think it was Monica and Rachel. Uh oh, now I need someone to fill me in!

Oo, Friends Freak here!

you got mixed up with two episodes.
There was one in the Fourth season when Monica went to pick up Emily''s wedding dress. She couldn''t help herself, and she spends the day cleaning her apartment in Emily''s dress. Phoebe gets in the mood too, and rents a wedding dress for herself. They spend the afternoon tossing bouquets at each other. Rachel joins them by wearing her old wedding dress, and the three of them sit on the sofa doodling the day in wedding dresses. The episode''s title is "The One With All the Wedding Dresses".

The other episode is in the seventh season when Monica went to buy her own wedding dress to marry Chandler. First she goes to a bridal salon to try on her dream dress. Another lady (Megan) sees this, and Monica kindly tips her off that she should try on the dresses, but she should wait to buy until a dress sale that is going to happen in two days. Two days later, the three girls rush into the sale, and Megan the B*** is there of course, and she has the audacity to grab the dress that she saw Monica try on the other day. Monica beats the crap out of her, and manages to buy the dress. Megan calls Monica, and said that she has booked the Swing Band that Chandler had his heart set on, and if Monica wants the band she has to give up the dress. Monica tries to convince Chandler that the Swing Band isn''t important, but Chandler said that it was their concert that he realized that he wanted to marry Monica. Monica gives up the dress. It''s the episode "The One With the Cheap Wedding Dress".

*sigh*, I really want to go to the sale, but I''m not engaged yet

 

[EricaR]

Mrs in CA, I might just take you up on that. Choro, you should come too. I do think that I''d be silly to pass up the opportunity to find a great deal on a dress. I guess I could shimmy into things, and even if a dress is too small now as long as I keep losing weight I should be OK.

 

[Mrs in CA]

Erica, when were you thinking of going?

Thanks for filling me in. I found "The One With All the Wedding Dresses" on Youtube. I swear it is the funniest thing I''ve ever seen. You guys if you haven''t seen this you have to watch it!!!

[LegacyGirl]

Ohhh I found it!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4FlmQ8G0o4&feature=related

 

[EricaR]

I have all Saturday and Sunday morning open. I can go at any time!

 

[Mrs in CA]

I''m free Sat morning. I have to be in Corona del Mar around 12:30 though. I could meet you at the sale at 10. Let me know!

 

[EricaR]

Woo-hooo! I''m so excited! I had been totally bummed that my two close friends were gone this weekend, but you have completely cheered me up.

I can be there at 10, for sure. I''ll try and get there a few minutes early and can meet you out front. I''ll be the girl with the knitting (can''t go anywhere without it!)

 

[choro72]

I was going to say that my BF said that I should go too (he promised he won''t think I''m crazy), but I can only go on Sunday. Well, I wouldn''t go by myself, so let me know if anyone is interested

 

[Mrs in CA]

Erica, you might have more fun if you go on Sunday with Choro since she will soon be on the market for a dress as well.

I''d be happy to join you on saturday but wont be upset in the least if you decide to go with Choro on Sunday

Let me know what you ladies decide.

 

[EricaR]

Oh no! I didn''t see this until this morning and last night I agreed to come into work on Sunday.

Let me see if there is anything I can do to switch that around...

Ohh that makes sense!!! Haha, thank you. I love Friends, FI and I used to hang out and watch Friends in his dorm room when we were dating. I watched so many episodes of Friends to hang out with him that I seriously tired myself of the show within a few months haha.

 

[choro72]

Don''t worry about it EricaR. I think Mrs.inCA can give more insight. What''s this silliness about "you''ll have MORE fun with me?"

Anyway, I''m just being a silly girl, so you go whenever!

 

[choro72]

I''m going to be a bad girl and flip flop...I''m not going to go, so you have fun with MrsInCA!

 

[EricaR]

Well, I guess that works out since I can''t seem to talk anyone else into coming into work for me on Sunday morning.

Meanies!

Mrs in CA, I thought I''d repost a photo of me, just in case you didn''t see it. This is from when I tried on dresses the last time. Then again, I don''t think there will be too many girls there knitting, but any way to identify me would help!

Thanks! If you search for my name in the search function you''ll find pics of me too if you want to know who you''re looking
for too. I''ll wear a Red A''s cap so that you can recognize me too

So you didn''t end up getting that gown, I guess?

I''ll plan to arrive at 9:45AM on Saturday since I imagine there will be a line or something - perhaps we should just meet wherever the line is? It''ll probably be outside of the ball room the sale is taking place in. In any case, I''ll find you!

Don''t forget to wear spandex shorts and a good strapless bra and/or slip since I imagine all the brides will be trying on gowns in the ball room together. Keep that in mind if you''re modest about that stuff.

 

[EricaR]

Nope, didn''t buy that dress. I figured that if I didn''t find something else I liked better I could always go back and buy it at any time.

I''m not really modest, so that won''t be so much of a problem! I don''t have a strapless bra right now, but I''ll try to head to the mall on Friday evening and see what I can find. I''m, well, rather busty so finding a strapless bra that fits isn''t always the easiest thing in the world.
