The Details: www.bailiffsale.com  Looking for a great deal on bridal and evening wear? There’s a huge sale taking place at the S. Wilson and Co. bailiff sale under Harvey Greber and here’s your chance to save from 75% to 90% off a huge selection of gorgeous designer wedding, bridesmaids, graduation, mother of the bride, flower girl, prom and evening gowns and so much more. There are also shoes, purses and accessories. Keep in mind — this is not a bridal store, so you may end up trying the dress on over your own clothing. And there are no alterations, so pick the right dress and take it to a seamstress or tailor. But with those types of savings, pick up a few gowns! Some bridal dresses start at only $20. While you’re there check out the brand name consumer goods including health care products, perfumes and skincare on one side, and appliances, tools and cleaning aids on the other.

The outlet is open all the time, but the bridal goods sale is on until this Sunday only.
