Wedding Gowns

Designer wedding dress sample sales?

How can I find out the dates/times and locations of various sample sales? Do Wedding Gown dress sample sales happen once or twice a year?
What height are the sample wedding gowns cut for?
(Time is not an issue – wedding is more than a year away.)
Any additional comments or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
To clarify a little, I am considering designers like Ines Di Santo, Atelier Aimee, Reem Acra, Lazaro, so understandably, I would like to steer clear from anything online, since even at 50% off the cost of these gowns would be too big of an investment to pledge without seeing/trying on the gown
more clarifying: I wear a street size 0-2 at a height 5′8-5′9, so I am aiming at the dresses that are on the display mannequins. Sheer probablility: I am not expecting those dresses to have been tried on too often.

It is complete up the bridal shop. in my experience its usually fall and/or spring, right before the new collections show up.

Dresses at designer bridal shops are usually size 10, for a women 5′7 to 5′10.

Most of the good bridal shops have websites… check the websites for sample sales. Dont call, they wont tell you when they are having them… they want you to come in and buy the expensive dress… not the discontinued sale items.
