tis the (sample sale) season

Here is a long list from various sources (mostly new york magazine) about the samples sales occuring in early-mid december in new york city:

12/1-... Zero by Maria Cornejo goes on sale!!! Their website already lists the reduced prices (around 45% off original), with more reductions as the days roll. Alas, although on sale, my dress is no longer available in my size.
