Sample Sale Etiquette

[notanumptyalways]

Hello!

I absolutely love this store and signed up for their sample sale which is tomorrow.

But I have never been to a sample sale before and don't know what to expect. I am really excited because I got an email today telling me I had been picked to receive VIP treatment on the day including a glass a champagne, the chance to browse an hour earlier and a FREE ITEM from the sale! So I am definitely not missing it, but what should I expect?

Is it really lots of pushing and shoving? Should I wear casual clothes and flats? And I am 38 weeks pregnant so going with the idea of buying things at my pre pregnancy size that I can give to other people if I never end up fitting into them.

Will it just be very old styles on offer and are the discounts usually worth the effort?

Any advice for a sample sale virgin?

Hiya, haven't been to that particular ss but been to lots of others, McQueen, Matthew Williamson, Hermes etc. Usually those ones are past season stock but v reasonably priced. In a warehouse / large hall, no proper fitting rooms.

My advice would be wear leggings / tights and a vest so you don't feel too uncanny trying things on if communal fitting rooms. Wear flats In case you need to queue. Be prepared to check your handbag in.

Enjoy
