Brides-to-be and their teams have been known to show up the night before with sleeping bags and tents to be among the first in line.

The morning of the sale, brides, mothers and friends begin lining up early. Usually by the time the doors open at 8am, hundreds of women are waiting in line. According to the Web site, “when the crowd is let loose, it takes less than 60 seconds for the racks to be stripped bare”. Evidently the women just grab as many dresses as they can, go off in a corner, strip down and start trying them on. Then the brides start bartering with each other for dresses until they find the perfect gown.
More than 2,500 gowns, sizes 2 to 26 and from famous bridal houses, will be priced at $249, $499 and $699. These same gowns would go for $900 to $10,000 at bridal salons.
