Doors opening for at 8 AM for Running of the Brides at Filene's Basement in Union Square. Hundreds of brides quickly staked claim to as many dresses as they could. One team that set up shop next to Meurices alterations table claimed that they had over 200 gowns. Why, might you ask, did the brides take so many gowns?
Unlike leisurely bridal salons, competition for Filenes gowns was fierce. Teams in brightly-colored uniforms indiscriminately stockpiled gowns, then sent ambassadors to trade with other teams. Each bride knew which particular dress they were after, say, a size 2 cream-colored mermaid gown. Particularly industrious teams plied aisles with photos cut out from magazines and pasted on signs.
