Here Comes a Busy September...

We traveled to Atlanta last weekend for prom 2012 buying. Yes, I did say prom! Believe it or not those dresses will be here before we know it! We picked up a great collection by Riva Designs. They had gorgeous colors, amazing beading and unique prints! We saw a lot of prints like last year, but sequins are all the rage for 2012! Almost all the designers are showing some short dresses, but most of our Chicago area prom ladies want long gowns. There aren't too many times in your life where you get to wear a long dress like that! Stay tuned for updates as we get our prom dresses in January. Don't forget to sign up to become a Prom Dresser so you get first choice of the prom dresses for your school and the chance to earn a free prom dress!

We are super busy at The Dress by Nicole this September with a few events we are hosting. First of all we are closing early this Friday, September 2nd at 5pm and will be closed Saturday through Monday for Labor Day weekend. Our staff has done an amazing job this summer and we are giving them the weekend off to spend the holiday with their families.
We're going to come back refreshed and ready to go for our 3rd Annual Sample Sale September 9-17th. We're closing at 6pm on Thursday the 8th to set up the store and will open Friday at noon as usual. We have special Sunday hours on the 11th of 11-4pm and for the first time we are extending our sale through a second weekend of Saturday the 17th. We will have everything from wedding gowns, bridesmaids, moms, special occasion, jewelry, shoes and accessories 20-80% off in-stock items! Make your appointment early, we usually have a waiting list!

We are also hosting an Enzoani Gorgeous with Curves Trunk Show for the first time. This uniuqe trunk show is for the plus sized bride that is looking for an amazing dress but available to try on in her size. We will have a selection of Enzoani's best selling styles in sizes 16-24. A great opportunity for our curvy brides out there! Our brides that purchase an Enzoani dress this weekend will enjoy 10% off all ordrers but this does exclude Blue and Love orders. We'd love to have you, make your appointment today!

They're here...

The new fall and the beginning of 2012 dresses are coming in! We got in several Aire Barcelona gowns this week and we're so excited to see them on our brides! We love the soft ruffles and of course what they are known for...their incredible laces. Styles Pandora, Pergamo, and Polanco are the first to arrive.We also starting getting in our new B2, Belsoie, Jade and Jade Couture styles from Jasmine. A lot of great Jades this season. I had trouble choosing! We have K4478, K4482 and L4061 just to name a few so far.

B3113 Saison Blanche

We also received new Saison Blanche wedding, bridesmaids and special occasion gowns. I love the soft tulle wedding gown B3113! The beaded belt is gorgeous!

Our first Jane Wang style arrived today! It's her Bailey style. A beautiful lace gown lined with silk satin. I changed the neckline from straight across to a sweetheart and my favorite part is the true corset back with real grommets! These dresses are gorgeously constructed from the inside out and trimmed with the most beautiful delicate beadwork. You have to come by to see them!
