Sample Sale!!!!!

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well. It was a long weekend! One of the stock girls got a terrible cold and all of the interns including myself could not stay closer to a Kleenex box!! I felt so bad during the day because here you are touching the dresses, and blowing your nose, it was so funny! All of the interns looked bad by the end of the day! That's what happens when you work with all women and in a small area! Sunday was a huge sale day! They had racks of dresses starting at $800-$10,000 on sale which were bagged and ready to go out the door that day. If you are a bride who comes for the sale, they are expecting to get their dress and walk out the door with it that day. The store opened at 10 am and there were people standing outside at 9am. It was a little crazy! On top of the sale price, brides also got 15% off the dress. The appointments were only one hour long which is a very short amount of time. I worked with Jacqueline and we had a great day for the sale. We had a bride come in with her mom from Canada and she was my age. It was really fun and I developed a relationship with her! It was really funny though because at the beginning of the appointment she feel in love with a Pnina dress that was on sale for $2300 and was a deep v-neck in the front with a puffy bottom with feathers all over. It was stunning. Then as she walked around the showroom, making sure she looked at herself in each of the five mirrors, we asked her the question, "Is this your dress?" She said "no." Which was a shock to Jacqueline and I because we thought she loved it!! So after that she looked around on the sale racks and found a completely opposite dress that was straight and had tiny beading. She fell in love with this dress and walked around the showroom again. I asked her the question and she said yes to me. Then she said no to Jacqueline two seconds later. I was shocked, I felt bad that she could not make her mind but she had been there since three o'clock and the store was closing at five. She finally looked at her mom and said yes!
It was so much fun and a blast to work with her!!! Maybe I will get invited to the wedding in Canada! LOL
Happy Endings From NYC
