Sample Sale Soiree!

Thank goodness. Not only does the New Year bring new gowns and new inventory to D.C.'s very own Hitched, but the store is also celebrating its second anniversary with a huge sale on sample items including bridal gowns, veils, shoes and jewelry. To help kick it off right they're having a Sample Sale Soiree on Thursday, January 10th from 5-8pm.
First there was Papier Parties now this? I'm just loving the idea of throwing a party around something that can be stressful. The best thing about a sample sale - once you've made your selection, your dress is yours to take home with you!

Title: Julie Haus Sample Sale

I had already planned to check out New York based designer Julie Haus' sample sale in the Garment District this week. But after a Sample Sally reader's glowing report and Racked's favorable write-up, I thought I'd better make a beeline for the sale before all the bargains were gone.

At the end of the day yesterday, there were still plenty of goods to be had at the designer's showroom on West 38th Street. Like Haus' previous sample sales, this one had a slew of samples (past and some current season). Also on offer were overstock. Look for fun feminine frocks and tops for spring and summer months. Dresses start at $25 for the "Red Heart" items to $55 for recent season samples. Tops are going from $20 to $45. Bottoms, including shorts have been picked through. But there were still some great long and short wool coats from $45 to $95. The samples here were in great condition unlike other brands where items are unwearable having rips, torn and SAMPLE sharpied on the inside. In the front of the showroom, you'll find overstock pieces from Fall '09.

The designer was on-hand along with her business partner and husband, Jason Alkire to help customers. Jason helps Julie with all things creative with the line. He showed me one of their more popular prints of giraffe spots, which he created by blowing up the spots and if you look closely at a piece with the print, you'll see an actual giraffe drawn on the garment.

Haus is know for her edgy, feminine fabrications and intricate tailoring. You'll find plenty of her signature pieces at this sale and for a fraction of what it sells in stores.

Where/When: 39 W. 38th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, sixth floor (no phone). Thru Friday, April 16. Daily 10am—8pm.
