Dress Theory owner and local wedding industry darling Camille Wynn summed it up perfectly, "We decided to have a sample sale because I'm going to New York and I am planning on buying many beautiful things."

You know how it goes from there; in order to make room for the new lovelies, the less-new lovelies have to step aside. That'll happen on Sunday, May 5.

Sample dresses by Ivy & Aster, Claire Pettibone, Jenny Packham, Nicole Miller, Portland's Sarah Seven, Modern Trousseau, and more will be marked down as low as $400.

The sale is by appointment only; call the shop to schedule yours.
