A trip to Alfred Angelo

I recently went to the Alfred Angelo store in Springfield, VA.  Thought I would share the experience with you and offer up some tips.  Alfred Angelo offers reasonably priced bridesmaids dresses in a wide range of colors, styles and sizes.  A sure way to please your maids! 

Alfred Angelo offers several different types of fabrics, depending on the style of dress.  In chiffon they offer 55 beautiful shades.  I felt like the quality was on par with the prices. 

We made an appointment to try on bridesmaids dresses.  Although we were assigned one employee to help us during the whole experience, we would recommend checking out the selection on dresses online prior to arrival.  It can be overwhelming.  Not all styles come in all fabrics, so things can get confusing fast.  At one point we had a dressing room stocked with dresses of all colors, sizes and shapes to try.

Obviously it was difficult enough to organize seven girls opinions, but when we started trying things on...  So, definitely know what fabric you want ahead of time.  And if possible, limit yourself to a certain number of styles. 

All in all we were pleased with the dresses and selection.  The bride choose the color and let the maids choose the style.  Everyone was able to find something that was flattering for their body type.
