nyc garment district

Crystal, on November 19, 2019 at 11:33 AM Posted in New York Planning 0 10
My aunt got married a over a decade ago and said she got her dress in nyc’s garment district. She boasts she got a 3000 dress for 800. When I asked her where she told me to just to google it.


So my question is, has anyone gone to the garment district? Where did you go? I’m also plus size.

    So i am in the city every day and I just googled NYC garment district wedding dresses. There seems to be a cluster of shops that sell bridal gowns in midtown west area. If you Google it a bunch will show on the map!!! I might look into it Smiley smile

    If you're coming into the city, it's always worth it to duck into the garment district. But please be warned: a LOT of them are only wholesalers, and will not sell individual dresses. Read the signs on the doors before you go in!

    We live in the metro area, and the ILs live in Manhattan, so we're always there. You can also find great fabric, if you wanted to make it/have it made...

    But I'd also suggest keeping an eye out for sample sales and pop up shops. I ended up with a $2000 Kleinfeld dress for $199 (and no tax, since I bought in Jersey) at a Kleinfeld pop up sample sale.

    Hey Crystal! Do you have your eye on any specific designer or style of dress?

    I figured I’d pop into Kleinfeld’s sample shop. What’s a pop up shop and how did you find out about that?


    I gathered most shops only sell wholesale. I was looking for people who went to specific shops.

    Not exactly. I really like beaded dresses. I’m still looking for the one.

    A pop up shop is exactly what it sounds like - a temporary store. I had signed up for Kleinfeld emails and they had their first ever in NJ.
