Designer Clothing Sale: Sneak Preview!

By Abby and Elle

Designer Dress Days: Oct. 23 and 25 through 27, at the Mandel Jewish Community Center in Beachwood

As promised, here’s your sneak preview of some of the fabulous designer clothing — fashions by Armani, St. John, Carlisle, Chanel, Burberry, Ilie Wacs, Escada and more — you can get for a song from the National Council of Jewish Women / Cleveland’s Designer Dress Days.

Designer Dress Days is more than clothing; you’ll find bags, jewelry, hats and scarves. If you’re a fan of furs, you’ll find those, too.
