A Must-Have Item: DSS Tickets
Tuesday, August 12, 2008

The Fall District Sample Sale is September 9!
Tickets for the Fall District Sample Sale went on sale yesterday, so if you haven't gotten yours yet, now's the time. I think I've been to this event every time (they're in the Spring and Fall) and at this point, I feel that it's pretty much essential to get a VIP ticket. It's just so worth it to have an entire hour to shop the racks in relative calm. I've got it all down now: I decide my spending budget and withdraw that amount in cash beforehand, have an idea of what wardrobe gaps I want to fill, and I wear what is basically a unitard with a wrap dress over it. At the Spring event, I had my final purchase in hand (a silk Tracy Reese dress) and was waiting to pay when the masses flooded in.
I've been a supporter of this event from the very beginning. I'm so proud of how the organizers have grown the event to not only up the ante for the charities they choose, but to continually make the event more exciting and glamorous for the attendees (sweet gift bags, awesome food & drinks, an incredible silent auction). The Fall beneficiary is the DC Rape Crisis Center, and as if helping sexually abused women wasn't already satisfying enough, the District Sample Sale Legacy Fund makes sure that past beneficiaries aren't forgotten: they will continue to receive a portion of proceeds each event. How great is that?!

I heard that DSS has very few items and only sizes 0 and 2!!
I have gone twice and find that the prices are not that low and the leftovers aren’t that interesting (um, everything good gets bought up throughout the season, usually). That said, the cover charge is for a good cause and there are free drinks and snacks and it’s fun if you go with a bunch of friends. Just don’t plan on scoring anything very exciting (or cheap).
