Our Annual Sample Sale is around the corner in San Diego! Call 619-876-5018 or email sandiego@thedresstheory.com to schedule a one hour sample sale appointment with us on Friday March 31. Our designer dresses MAJORLY marked down 30-80% (!!!) sold "off the rack" and ready to go for one day only. 

Should I shop at this Sample Sale?

Whether you're a bride on a short timeline, you have an eco-friendly state of mind, you have a specific price point or you want to see your exact wedding gown that you'll be getting married in and take it home that day instead of waiting 4-6 months -- this Sample Sale is for you!

All sample dresses will be discounted 30-70% with pricing ranging from $900 - $3800 (majority between $1300 - $2600). 

Sizing for these gowns are bridal sizes 8 to 12 which means they are close to sizes 6 to 10 in street clothes. If you're more than a size or two above the sample size, we do not recommend going with this option. However, dresses can be taken in up to 2 to 3 sizes.

We will have dresses on sale by the following designers: Claire Pettibone, Jenny Packham, Christos, Houghton NYC, Noel and Jean, Sarah Seven, and Rue De Seine.

We only have one of each dress and remember that all brides will be shopping from the same sample collection. So be prepared to fall in love, commit to your dress and take it home that day!

  • Dresses are to be paid in full by cash or credit card, no checks please. 

  • Appointments are one hour long and are scheduled back to back all day long, so please be on time!

  • We suggest bringing no more than one to two guests.
