You ladies won't believe what I saw yesterday!

A while ago, a former Priscilla of Boston store in my state that was closing got a ton of heat for intentionally destroying their samples with red spray paint and throwing the dresses into the dumpster when they closed. Here's an article my local paper wrote about it at the time <clicky>

So yesterday, one of my BMs and I went to a dress sale put on by an organization here that takes donated wedding, prom & BM dresses and gives/sells them to underpriviledged high school girls and other worthy causes. We casually looked at the wedding gowns just for the hell of it. I see 5 dresses that had these weird red splotches on them and I took at look at all the labels, lo and behold- they were ALL Priscilla of Boston dresses! I started freaking out in the middle of the rack and a couple people looked at me funny :-P I then explained what had happened and then they had the same OMG expression on their faces too! 

At the end of the day, my friend did get her BM dress at that sale for $10 and now my sister who's my MOH just has to get her outfit and everyone will be set :-)

    Priscilla of Boston in general went out of business, hence the stores closing and all that. But yeah, a lot of people were really upset about the dresses being destroyed- there was even video of it on the local news at the time!

    They should be upset! What a waste and what an awful thing for a company to do. A lot of good could have come from them donating them. That's just wrong.

    That's crazy!  I was actually super upset when that store went out of business. I love Priscilla of Boston but couldn't afford a dress there.  A month after I bought my dress, they announced they were closing and had that huge sale in Boston, which is less than an hour from me!  Boo!  Still love my dress though :)

    That is ridiculous! But not at all surprising. I remember when that story broke, I was so appalled!
