To all future brides: do not shop at the Alfred Angelo store on MacArthur Road in Whitehall PA. The sales reps seem are very helpful, but they would be more helpful to potential buyers if they had ANY idea what they were talking about. Anamaria was assisting me and I liked her from the start, went to purchase my dress and was screamed at by the store manager, MariBeth (Anamaria was tied up, so the order was going to be placed by the manager) Turns out that my dream dress (which took me 2 months to finally settle on) could not be ordered. Anamaria had sworn up and down that the dress I wanted could be made in one of the colors listed on the website and also in the booklet they provided me (I wanted a white dress with a splash of color) well MariBeth the "manager" yelled and made me look like a fool in front of a packed store. Later I was informed by Anamaria that she made a mistake, but they would be able to make the dress (in the colors listed in the book and online) if I paid an extra $180 for it (yeah... right, spending that much extra when I'm already buying a wedding dress... - how much is this store looking to rip people off ??) Then they want to charge $300 for the fittings (plus mine would be extra since I would need to purchase extra fabric...) I'd suggest to all brides to SKIP this store and go to a small bridal shop. They will be more then happy to assit you and you will find that most places offer FREE fittings (the place I went to even carried Alfred Angelo) Best of luck ladies.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. The dresses are beautiful and affordable but working with this company has been a NIGHTMARE. I was told by a sales associate that my dress was paid for before I agreed to the astronomical alteration fee of $400. Thinking that my dress was paid in full by my mother, I was able to afford the alterations. Otherwise, I would have taken the dress elsewhere for half the price. They let me sign an alteration agreement which states that my dress was paid for. After my dress was altered (and they made me drive 1 1/2 hours TWICE to try and pick it up), I took it home. FIVE MONTHS LATER they called me to tell me I still owed $370 for my dress and that there was a mistake and I never should have been able to have my dress altered or to take it home. My wedding is TWO months away. Because I don't have the money to pay for the dress (since I spent the rest of my dress budget on alterations), they are sending my account to collections. Now I am stuck with a dress I cannot afford and cannot return... because of THEIR mistake. I believe they waited to tell me about their "mistake" for five months so that I was so close to my wedding date (which they were well aware of) so that I had no choice but to keep the dress, even if I was able to talk them into letting me return it. Also, two of by bridesmaids were sized wrong and the wrong dress size was ordered by the store. They were told they were not allowed to exchange the dress. They now must pay over $150 to get it altered because the dresses are so huge. Please do not go to this store. The dresses are very nice but the headache and the bad credit score is not worth it.
