GBExtremely Disappointed I recently picked up my wedding dress and I'm extremely disappointed in what arrived. To start the dress was brought out all wrinkled. There are strings hanging from what is supposed to be a brand new dress. The beading is also lifting off and doesn't lay correctly. When I was zipped into the dress the top clasp pulled out and now needs to be reenforced. The dress ordered for me is too big, you can see down into the front of the dress due to a gap where the dress doesn't sit right and I have no figure or shape at all in this trumpet style dress. I was told that the dress being ordered would fit my chest and I would only need to have a little bit of the waist brought in. But because the entire dress is too big the whole thing needs to be altered to fit. So now I have to pay for a larger alteration and to also have these dress defects fixed. The only reason I rated you 2 stars is because at least your staff is nice. I'm beyond disappointed and frustrated. This is turning into a nightmare.

GBAwesome Staff My wedding is in January 2014. I'm highly intimidated with planning big events, so I'm trying to take things one step at a time. My three sisters are my brides maids, and we all decided to go hunting for the maid dresses. The first place we decided to check out was Alfred Angelo over by Wilow Brook Mall in Houston, TX. We were able to get a consultation without a wait, and we had an amazing consultant named Michelle. She pulled several dresses with several different cuts and styles to fit my diverse brides maids. She was patient, kept up conversation with me while my sisters were getting dressed so i wasn't sitting there alone and bored, and was very helpful in suggesting different types of dresses. she made all of us feel beautiful and appreciated. she laughed and had a good time with us. After we had our favorite dresses picked out she let all of us try on a veil and pose together for a picture. The dresses everyone liked best were a bit pricey, but for the experience, we just might be willing to pay the difference. I went back a week later to try on wedding gowns with my mother. Even though we didn't' have an appointment, Michelle made us a priority. She showed the same interest and devotion to helping me find the perfect dress according to my body type and my specific tastes. My mother was in a sour mood that day, but Michelle wouldn't let that get me down. she made me feel pretty in every dress, just as if i was her own daughter getting fitted for the most important day of her life. all in all, an amazing experience.

GBLas Vegas, Nevada I was extremely nervous about going wedding dress shopping and even considered not getting a dress at all. I had my first appointment with Alfred Angelo and my second of the day with David's Bridal. My first appointment was with Kate at Alfred Angelo. Kate did a wonderful job of making me feel at eaze and even have fun trying on dresses. She tried everything she could and helped me figure out what I really wanted. I didn't realize until later that she made my day wonderful, probably the best experience I could have had even for someone that was excited to go wedding dress shopping. After my experience at David's Bridal in Las Vegas, I felt ugly and like I was just another bride for them to make money off of. Alfred Angelo didn't treat me that way. Kate went out of her way to make me feel like I was going to be a Princess on your wedding day. I couldn't pick my dress from Alfred Angelo (they did not fit into my wedding theme) so I am hoping that you will go for me and buy one from Kate!

GBBUYER BEWARE GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Went to store in Beverly Hills. They seemed nice, told you whatever you want to hear to make sale, but once the money is out of your hands-story changed. Beware of alteration costs. Told me at time of purchase around $300-denied this afterwards. How does $400 for a hem and bustle sound - not including other alterations?! Be prepared to pay an extra $60 to expedite getting material/lace otherwise you won't get it on time. Terrible customer service. Sorry I didn't listen to previous reviews.

CASkip it Worst company ever. We went to the one in Syracruse, and much like the rest of these comments....you should skip it. They sit you down, give your group some candy and kleenex and a lovely young lady who tries to find the right dress and you start to wonder what all those negative comments were about and then BAMM you soon find out...about the rudest manager. The manager not only was heard saying in very rude tones..."one more dress"(with a nudge towards the assistant helping us, after we had only tried on 4 dresses), and "what does the bride think"(after the bride had already acknowledged she didn’t care for the dress). Such things toward other groups were also overheard rather loudly such as "you need a dress? That one has about a thousand". The behaviour of an overbearing, rude manager who by the way let the group wouldn’t pull any dresses, will surely put this little establishment out of sale... By the sounds of some of the comments online regarding this place, the feeling is mutual. We went to Davids Bridal which was next door and found a dress almost right away without the pressures of a manager interfering.
