Frugal and Fabulous: Zac Posen for Target – Brocade dress
I tried to attend the Zac Posen Target pop-up store in NY and even scurried over in the rain 2 hours before close only to disappointingly find that they had sold out of everything and had already closed up shop! That’s when the light bulb went off. I’ve never done the fashion flip where you make a profit off of popular but limited edition designer clothes by buying then immediately re-selling online. But I’ve been inspired to do so by other fashionista friends who finance their shoe fund this ingenious way. The thought of shopping to make money always sounded enticing and I’m excited to report that I’m now a proud eBay seller with 3 brocade zip dressses being sold online.
To bid or buy it now:

Reports have noted that this dress sold out almost immediately online so I was stunned to find that I could still snag 3 at my local Target. The trick to finding all 3 was to stalk the area like a love-torn ex because it wasn’t until the store nearly closed and I returned twice to finally find the 3 dresses magically re-appear out of thin air (probably from the littered dressing room?) I had to quench my squeal as I furtively snatched the sz 1, 5, and 7 while in pure disbelief at my luck. I wouldn’t have imagined I could feel such a sense of achievement from my little Target excursion but I left feeling proud and with fantasies of making a fortune on eBay 🙂
Here’s what my local Target looked like at the end of launch day 1. Not bad for having withstood a battle storm of raging fashionistas in search of Zac, huh?
As you can see, there weren’t many sizes left for the brocade skirt and like I said, I happily snatched all the remaining brocade dresses.
Don’t mind the toilet paper images behind the fashion…the Edgewater NJ Target is under reconstruction.
What was noticeably missing from the collection were the popular: detachable ruffle dresses, tape dress and yellow raincoat.
Did anyone get to the pop-up store shopping party in NY and live to tell about it? Did anyone else purchase anything from the Zac Posen line – if so, do tell!
I just got a bunch of his clothes at Target yesterday!! I got the cutest black skirt…very unique!!
Also, Eugenia Kim partnered up with Target and I got a couple of her hats.
FYI-you can go to target.com and buy everything. I checked online yesterday and they have almost carry everything. Make sure you get the black zip up skirt!!! This has to be my favorite skirt….very figure flattening:)
I actually did buy that black zip up skirt for myself – didn’t mention it because I was debating whether or not to wear and keep it for myself or put it up on eBay. Man, we really do share a lot of similar tastes!
Darn, so the online site replenished their inventory? No wonder i had no bids the first couple days!
Yea, the Eugenia Kim hats are so cute. My Target was out of them but I have a couple from her collection -bought at a sample sale.
hey, i need help, i am trying to buy the floral brocade dress but i dont know if i should get a 5 or 7. i am 5″1, 119lbs, 36 c cup, i measured my waist ( not sure if i did it right but i got 27) wat should i do
I would go with the sz5 with your 27 waist – your height shouldn’t really affect the dress size choice and from what I remember my sz 5 had ample room in the chest. Are they still selling this online? I’m surprised there is still inventory!
