Want to see first-hand designer gowns and get great specials on couture fashion? Then you should attend a trunk show where designers bring their line of gowns for you to view and purchase. Attending a trunk show opens opportunities for you to find the dress of your dreams.

So what is a trunk show?  To begin with it is a showing of designer’s merchandise to entice buyers to make a purchase of a particular item that day. It started by designers bringing select clothing to a boutique to engage shoppers to view items in the trunk and buy on special from the maker of the design.

Today’s bridal trunk shows are more about seeing the latest line of gowns from a designer and being able to get custom dresses or same-day sale price that can often be hundreds under the retail price. Attending a trunk show can be a fun event where you can spend the day trying on couture fashion and enjoying a lively atmosphere at a bridal boutique. Often times boutiques have lots of brides-to-be trying on dresses during a trunk show event, so call ahead and schedule an appointment to secure a chance at seeing a designer gown on.  Also many times designers will bring dresses in only a few sizes, ranging from 2-10 so if you are a particular size be sure to state so when scheduling an appointment.
