Sample Sale Report: Ali Ro

Stopped by the Ali Ro sale over lunch and it was busy but still a fairly calm shopping experience because the space is quite large and there are so many dresses to choose from. It’s a cash only sale so make sure you stop at an ATM before you head over and also to note there is no change room! There is a large assortment of sizes in both Ali Ro & Donna Morgan with a range going from size 2 to 24W. However the largest selection at the sale was between sizes 4-8. Truthfully there was a lot more Donna Morgan available at the sale with a smaller selection of Ali Ro on about 3 or so racks.

Printed matte jersey and cotton galore in a wide assortment of prints that scream summer has arrived were available!

I heard from a lovely tipster (who I frequently run into at sales) that there was a small line to get in when the sale opened in the morning but things have since calmed down. Unfortunately most of the $25 dresses are now gone.
