Alfred Angelo

There are about 3 AA dresses that I love to death! But since my dress shopping has been pushed back a bit, I was excited because their 2011 Collection would be out! They finally posted the 2011 Collection on their website. I'm no wedding dress expert, but I have to say... I'm not impressed. Frown

Happy Thursday!

    I just checked out their website also and I feel just like you.  I am not impressed.  We are getting married in November 2011, so I still have time to find the perfect dress, but I am very disappointed in AA 2011 collection.  I am leaning toward Maggie Sottero. Some of those dresses are goregous.

    Are you talkin about the one in cherry hill? Is that considered South Jersey? I'm waiting for it to open. I am in love with their BM dresses. not a fan of their bridal.

    Maybe I'm tripping, but there are a few that I like.

    This one is great fromt the front, but I'd get that back bow removed.

    This one is beautiful, but not quite for me. I have a friend that I think would rock the heck out of it though.

    Love this.

    Different and I kinda dig it.

    You're right though...many of the styles were disappointing. Good thing you have a few in mind already!

    Go Maggie! I got a MS gown and I love it. However, even if my dress had never been designed, she still had tons of dresses that I would have been perfectly content with. They are affordable too!

    Yes ma'am! Right on Route 70. I was so excited when I drove by it. I rarely take 70 home and 38 was so backed up I decided to go that way and I am glad I did because I saw the store. I love their BM dresses too! Although I think they do not have my color :-(

    I am in love with several of MS gowns. I think I would feel like a true princess wearing one of her gowns.  My favorite is the Felisha. I live in SC and I have called 20 stores and no one has this gown, maybe after the Holidays I will be able to find it. I agree the dresses are very affordable.   
    I tried on AA dress 2170 and it was pretty and the price was GREAT!!!!!  I have to take one of my bridesmaids back with me to see what she thinks.

    I'm a Maggie bride too!  I love their dresses and the feel of the material. 

    Maybe you should check out the 2011 collection from Sottero & Midgley.  Some of those dresses were gorgeous, especially the one that's almost exactly like Chelsea Clinton's dress by Vera Wang.

    <div>IDK why, but I'm not a Maggie fan. I mean, she has some nice dresses, but not anything I've fallen in love with. The dress I want is an Allure.</div>
