Trunk Show

I know you can usually get dresses at a much lower rate when you go to a trunk show.  Does anyone have any idea of how discounted the dresses usually are?  And are they usually dresses from last season they're trying to get rid of? Or are they the upcoming season that they are trying to show off?  I keep hearing about trunk shows, but I really know nothing about them!

Re: Trunk Show

  • A lot of the time, they are new dresses that the designer is showing off. I'm not sure about the discount though. I do not think they generally give you a huge discount at trunk shows. The biggest discounts come at sample sales, which is where they are selling the samples themselves. A sample sale means that you get the dress as-is which is where the discounts come from.

  • The biggest I have heard of is 15%--PP is right, the point of a trunk show is mostly to see the dresses, talk to the designer, and perhaps have custom changes made to a dress.
  • Ah.  Thanks for the clarification ladies!
