I need a bridesmaids dress in Charlotte!

Hi North Carolina brides! I'm getting married in Pennsylvania and have a bridesmaid in Charlotte who needs to find the Alfred Angelo bridesmaids dress the girls are wearing. I've picked out the color, fabric and length and am letting the girls pick their own style so she'll want to try some on and see what works for her. Searching online, I can only find one store in Charlotte offering Alfred Angelo bridesmaids dresses: The Wedding Mall. I'm reading a ton of bad reviews on the place and don't want to subject my poor bridesmaid to the types of things they're saying goes on there (rude staff, criticism of bigger girls, charging a fee to try anything on). Anyone have personal, better experience at this store, or any other suggestions??? She can't afford to come up here to my location another time  before the wedding. :(

    If she can take a quick drive to Gastonia (about 20-40 minutes depending on the side of Charlotte), my bridesmaids got their Alfred Angelo dresses at Bedazzled Bridal in the Mall in Gastonia. Raj, and the rest of the staff there were always very helpful and kind.

    Thank you!! I'll have her check it out. I'm not sure what area she's in. I've been there a bunch of times but I'm not familiar with the area.
    Do you remember if they had a good selection of dresses? They can always order the color/size (don't know about there but here it takes FOREVER!!) I'm just hoping she'll be able to find a good style that works for her. My sister tried on so many..

    There is also a store in Rock Hill, SC (just pass the state line) that sells Alfred Angelo.

    To save money you could have your girls try on the dresses and then order them from Pearl's Place... I know it's kind of unethical... but I saved a crapload on my Mori Lee BM dresses by doing it that way. The stores wanted $120 per dress and I got them for I believe $88 (no tax).

    Bedazzled did have a very large selection. They had mix/match tops and bottoms, plus tons of their once piece dresses. I'd say they had a full rack of nothing but Alfred Angelo.
