Does it always pay to shop with the herd? Gaining entrance to the gilt.com Tracy Reese Frock! sale was harder than hailing a cab in an ice storm. In under 10 minutes, goods are gone, and the sold out banner appears. The designer's own website offers Frock! dresses and will you see styles like Adison, Thea and Alena that are $10-$20 cheaper than gilt.com and still available. Lesson learned - it pays to sleuth shopstyle.com for the best price and selection.

Girly Girls with Great Gams Go to Tracy Reese: Report From The Front Preview
Today's To Do: DvF or Tracy Reese? Samples are $50 at Tracy Reese including current line pieces. Best buys are simply WOW dresses that retail for over $300, and some sparkly ones for over $400. Do your homework as one shopper eyed a leopard print dress online and was able to zone in on it faster than a New York minute on the sample sale racks (those tied with a bow). Sample sizes seemed smaller and shorter than usual and many shoppers tugged at zippers to try to make them fit. Recession weight gain or smaller sample size models? Note that Dillard's is having a fab sale on the lower priced, but equally original line, Plenty by Tracy Reese Carmen style priced at $52.50. Scope out dillards.com before you go and glimpse.com. Patient helpful staff and kudos to fellow shoppers who readily swapped dresses and offered picks that didn't suit their coloring or size.

REPORT FROM THE FRONT: TRACY REESE
Nancy Brenner...how does she do it?
Is your version of the LBD really fuchsia? Find funky frocks for $50 or $35 at the sample racks at Tracy Reese. These people know how to throw a true "sample sale" on a day when it feels like every showroom on Seventh Avenue in Soho and Chelsea Markets have swung open their doors - pre-empting the Black Friday sales.
Spotted at today's Friends and Family a shocking pink spots cardi retailing for over $200- here $50. That "stars" dress that Paris Hilton wore to the David Letterman show - skirt version for $50. A ruffled strapless dress in purple for $35 - bargain basement! Ladies line up early, especially if you're the lucky sample size for Tracy Reese, Frock and Plenty. Just please ban men from the mirrors!
260 West 39th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenue - 5th Floor
9-7 Thursday and Friday
