A month ago I went to my first dress appointment, my budget was $2,500 - $3,000. The 5th dress I tried on, I fell in love with, however the consultant put me in a $4,800 Matthew Christopher dress, and I didn't know the price until I already fell in love with it.
In an effort to find something in my price range, I went to about 4 other appointments, but kept comparing every dress to the first Matthew Christopher dress.
I went back to the first salon for a Matthew Christopher trunk show and the dream dress sample - The one I had originally tried on - was on sale for $2,900!! I about died and bought it right on the spot.
Now I'm so nervous that I made this decision so quickly, they said it was a sample in perfect condition but I didn't even inspect it myself, and it's a little tight. Does purchasing a sample dress mean that I didn't really get the dress the best I could have? (although I couldn't afford it if I hadn't bought the sample). I'm feeling kind of upset about purchasing a sample dress that I'm not personally ordering and is coming in perfect condition made just for me.
Has anyone else purchased a sample dress, and what was your experience with it?
