| Im getting married on july 8 2006 and have started looking for my dress. I keep seeing all these fab dresses in all the wedding mags, but when i visit all the bridal shops i just cant find them!!! Does anyone know where i can find alfred angelo wedding gown style 1243 ? Its in the 2005 collection. Most stores have said the can order it for me , but i would prefer to see it first and try it on. |

The only thing i can think for you to do, is to ring round the Alfred Angelo Stockists. Heres a web link to that for you.

Thanks mishter, ive tried emailing quite e few local stockists in the northeast, but they dont have that particular dress, typica!! It is so frustrating when you really like something and just cant find it.  |

Definately have a look at the alfred angelo site, theres a customer service center and they're really helpful...
My ideal choice of bridesmaids dress was from their collection and we were a bit worried that the style might not suit the largest of the girls, also regardless of what the tape measure said we wanted her to try one on in THAT style, not anotherstyle in that size- they managed to tell us our 3 local stockists that definately had that dress in that size for us to try and a few days later all was sorted. We purchased the dress elsewhere but as a stockist that particular boutique was obliged to allow us to try the dress.
Good luck! |

All sounds a bit rotten to me! These boutiques can't really run around advertising that they are stockists, if they are not prepared to get the dress for you to try before you buy.
I know alot of online Gown sellers work on 'buy before try' but that is reflected in the prices.
Sounds like a right headache! I hope when you do actually track it down that you like it  |

| Hiya, thankyou all so much for all the advice and tips on finding my dress. Well ive actually found one shop that has that particular dress in stock and its only about an hours drive from where i live. I also spoke to a really nice lady at l'amour bridal in south shields, who didnt have that particular dress in her shop, but said she had been considering getting it as she had a few brides asking for that particular gown and is going to contact her supplier today to try and order it as a sample. I must admit i was very impressed and will be visiting her shop regardless, as she is prepared to try and get dress as sample with no pressure to buy it. |

The thing is even though a shop may be a stockist of a certain make of dress it dosen't always mean they will have it in stock - most manufacutures will have approx 60 wedding dresses or more in their collection - no shop in the country could possibly keep every dress from every manufacutre. i use about 15 different companies for wedding dresses and that is not counting bm dresses - we tend to bring in what we think will sell in our area and if we find we are getting asked for a particular dress maybe then we will order it as a sample but even our samples can take up to 12 weeks to come in.
Always check with the manufacutres as some of them do a dress loan service where you just pay for the price of the postage on the dress and if you order it it is then deducted off the price off the dress-a good idea if you are after something in particular.
otherwise just ring around your local stockists and ask if they have the dress you are after - we get this all the time.
goodluck |
