fashion shopping experts ... explain this to me

When does new stuff come in to big dept stores like bloomies, and macys...?

Was there today, dressy dresses areas look so scarce,

This is new to me, I used to be able to fit in bebe, bcgb, guess, etc, after baby my body changed and I just can't wear the stuff I love anymore. I used to have no prob shopping, now I'm just miserable and I can't understand why I can't find anything.

I'm definitely no shopping expert, but just from observation, I always see new items about a month or 2 before a season starts, and then more at the beginning of the season.

So, I would think fall stuff would start coming out around August, and then more in September.

You're hitting a bad time, because we are fully into summer, so most of the summer stuff is gone already, and the new fall stuff is not out yet.
