Thursday, March 20: “Brides Against Breast Cancer” Gown Sale
You have two options for this event, which will have more than 1,000 gowns—some designer—on sale: Go tonight to the VIP portion and pay to get first pick of the dresses (while eating cake and hors d’oeuvres), or go on Friday or Saturday and shop for free.

It’s all happening at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (1960 Chain Bridge Rd., McLean; 703-893-2100). Thursday 8 to 10:30 PM, $75 for a bride and guest, $25 each additional guest; Friday 10 to 8, free; Saturday 10 to 6, free.
