L'ezu Atelier 1111 on Sample Sale!

As promised, we will be previewing several of our Sample Sale gowns on the Promise...for the savvy bride blog!
First up is the lovely style 1111 (sorry, no elegant name!) by L'ezu Atelier!
With a silk satin-faced organza underlay and hand embroidered and beaded silk organza overlay, this L'ezu gown is flowy and airy. The beadwork is delicate and light, with a motif that is reminiscent of growing vines spreading down the bodice and into the skirt, trailing into accents on the front hem and train. Complementing the natural and elegant feel, the gown itself is a delicate ivory. It is strapless with a narrow A-line skirt and chapel length train. The beaded silk organza overlay is cut a little bit bigger than the satin-faced organza underlay to allow for wonderful movement of the skirt when you walk down the aisle!
Originally $3900, it is on sale at Promise for $1950!

It's Almost Sample Sale Time!
Our Sample Sale is pretty fierce, with 10%-60% off pretty much our entire collection of floor sample gowns at Promise...for the savvy bride. Gowns by Claire Pettibone, Carmela Sutera, Carolina Herrera, Caroline DeVillo, L'ezu Atelier, Elizabeth Fillmore, Renella DeFina, and Lea Ann Belter will all be included!
All of our floor sample gowns at Promise are in great condition and, since we are a small boutique, the wear and tear factor is low. Plus, one of the main reasons we have our Sample Sale is to help keep our wedding gown collection fresh - we often replace samples we sell with the same style (just maybe in another color) so that what is on the rack is in excellent condition when you try it on! If there are buttons missing, lace that needs a little repair, or a zipper that needs fixing, not to worry! We will take care of it during alterations (if you choose to alter your gown with us!). If you select one of our Sample gowns, you can elect for Promise to send your gown to either Prestige Drycleaning or Parkway Drycleaning - they make almost every dirty hem and makeup mark evaporate!
We will also have a selection of bridesmaid dresses and accessories on sale, too! So, if you have been looking for a cute party dress, give us a ring and come on by!
Don't forget the Sample Sale is by appointment - so please call 301-215-9232 to schedule your's!

PS - I will be posting peeks of what is on sale, so stay tuned!
