Originally I was a March 2012 bride. So last April I had gone dress shopping, fell in love, and bought. Part of why I bought the same day I tried it on was because the sales person told me that the dress was a "last year" style and the sale ended that day. Over the summer we moved the wedding to September and I already had my dress in my possession and it was still appropriate. So, why I wanted to post was because for sh*ts and giggles I went to David's website to see if they still had my dress. They do! And, it's on sale for the exact price my mom bought it for. I have no regrets about the dress I chose so I can find this comical but that sales woman (who I haven't seen again in that store despite going in there 3 or so times since the purchase) really used a scare-tactic. It is 10 months later and the dress, even on sale isn't cheaper than the sales price last year let alone discontinued haha.
If any one IS having anxiety about purchasing right away use this as a lesson....at least at David's. A high-end salon with a sample sale obviously would be a little different. The wedding industry is just so silly sometimes.
