I chose to get my dress at Alfred Angelo because they had the most unique dresses. I love that the store is quiet and intimate and all the focus is on the bride. I had finally found my dress and I adore it till this day! I had issues with alterations though. At first they had never called to tell me my dress was in, I had to call to check and it had been there. When I went to try it on, it did not zip up all they way and it was DRASTIC. They ordered it too small obviously because their is no way I gained that much weight. I wasn't able to get my dress till the day before my wedding because it took forever to get it to fit right. And on that day it still wasn't perfect but I unfortunately had to deal with it. It cost $270 for alterations.
