I've wondered the same thing myself and have learned a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-959138 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:47:20 +0000 Thistle 959138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you got it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-959134 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:38:58 +0000 T-Rex 959134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if Nordstrom does this, but some online shopping sites will let you set up email alerts when an out of stock item you want becomes available. If Nordstrom doesn't do this, they should. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-959124 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:23:04 +0000 T-Rex 959124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to the suggestions above, </p> <p>1. Set up a Google alert for the dress, with daily email alerts to you.</p> <p>2. Set up an eBay auto search with, again, daily email alerts.</p> <p>Oh...wait...never mind. I see you snagged the dress. Congratulations! I'll leave my comment as is in case someone else can use the advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-959119 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:20:11 +0000 Peri 959119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the good ideas. I will remember them for the future because...</p> <p>The dress is on its way. It was as simple as calling this morning and asking...apparently some returned but not yet up on the site.</p> <p>Now, if I just can look as good as Joy in it! That would really be the miracle. Hope it doesn't go the way of so many other things and return back the way it came! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-958974 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:50:53 +0000 Suz 958974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you try the Eileen Fisher website? You won't get it on sale (maybe) but might be able to get the dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-958971 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:49:49 +0000 velvetychocolate 958971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even you don't have a Nordstrom store nearby, phone the store. I once had an SA in Nordstrom Rack offer to find me a certain coat in a particular size, and the item wasn't on their website anymore. Agree with Joy that sometimes an SA in the store can find something, even if the item has disappeared from the site. </p> <p>Also - don't forget to look for the dress on other sites.It looks like Neiman Marcus has it in ink blue, as well as aqua, though the price is substantially higher.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Eileen-Fisher-Sleeveless-Lantern-Dress/prod156010173/?ecid=NMCIGoogleProductAds&amp;ci_sku=prod156010173skuDEEPAQUA&amp;ci_gpa=pla" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/.....MCIGoogleP</a></p> <p>Saks:</p> <p><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446579607&amp;CAWELAID=1892303827&amp;cagpspn=pla&amp;site_refer=GGLPRADS001" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....CAWELAID=1</a></p> <p>Dillard's:</p> <p><a href="http://www.dillards.com/product/Eileen-Fisher-Lantern-Dress_301_-1_301_503944470?cm_mmc=GooglePLAs-_-Eileen-Fisher-_-Dresses-_-Eileen-Fisher-Lantern-Dress" rel="nofollow">http://www.dillards.com/produc.....oglePLAs-_</a></p> <p></p> <p>Good luck!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-958898 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:30:54 +0000 Ornella 958898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rule 1 -&nbsp;Put it as the homepage of your browser. That way, as soon as you start the browser, it will be there.</p> <p>Rule 2 - More important&nbsp;- keep revisiting the link&nbsp;frequently <b>all day</b>, i.e. keep refreshing the link - if it's relatively new item it will be&nbsp;back&nbsp;in stock in&nbsp;different&nbsp;sizes, as people will be returning it for various reasons.&nbsp;You'll see.</p> <p>I learnt this&nbsp;method&nbsp;the hard way, when stalking the trench I missed out on (full rant <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-painful-lesson-of-not-buying-the-right-thing-straight-away">here</a></b>). My size and color I wanted&nbsp;never went back in stock, but I soon&nbsp;noticed&nbsp;that the availability of&nbsp;other sizes and colors was frequently changing <i><u>throughout the day</u></i>, obviously as they were processing returns.</p> <p>Good luck.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-958809 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:39:18 +0000 Anonymous 958809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wishing you luck, Peri. Maybe an SA could track one down for you. I've heard they can work miracles sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-i-stalk-a-dress#post-958754 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:32:31 +0000 Peri 958754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided Joy's EF lantern dress might be the thing for the outdoor wedding and as I was about 10 seconds away from finishing the checkout the sapphire one disappeared. Someone was just that much faster than me and got the last one! Grrr.</p> <p>I ordered the rhubarb but really want the sapphire. Joy suggested Google search but I only found XS and L. I want S. </p> <p>All I know is to check Nordstrom online daily and see if anyone returns. Other advice from pro stalkers? </p>
