We've been having a lot of fun with websites that imitate sample sales (limited-time events with only so much stock available) but with the wonderful difference that they offer clothes in a range of sizes—not just runway model dimensions. And the fashion is serious: RueLaLa.com offers labels like Marc Jacobs, Theory, and Puma; HauteLook.com includes Taryn Rose, Yaya Aflalo, and BCBG Max Azria; and the high-end GiltGroupe.com has brands like Vera Wang, Valentino, and Citrine by the Stones.
