The Big Deal
If you think scoring a discount designer wedding gown means rummaging through racks of dingy, tattered and torn dresses, think again. White Chicago, 222 W. Huron St., 312-397-1571, whitechicago.com, is revamping the discount shopping experience. Here, you can purchase used and sample gowns by designers like Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier and Reem Acra at 30 to 70 percent off their retail prices. Those who resell to the shop must provide a receipt with the retail price of their gown, which must be over $1,500, and gowns can’t be more than three years old. Stock is replenished daily, but if you’re considering buying something, don’t hesitate—the gown may not be there at the end of the day.
