Alfred Angelo Closing? UPDATED - THEY ARE CLOSED!

I just saw, davids bridal is offering discounts to anyone with an AA receipt, bride or bridesmaid or anyone.

Just thought I'd share this for those of you who can't get their dresses.

This has been all over our local news this morning, featuring local brides. My heart hurts for everyone dealing with this! Sending positive wishes!

David's bridal is offering discounts with AA receipts. http://www.davidsbridal.com/Content_Bridal_alfredangelo?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organic+social&utm_campaign=brand-traffic-prospecting-other-general&utm_term=prospecting&utm_content=organicpost-facebook-null-alfredangelo-071417

I bought my dress a month and a half ago from there they said it wouldn't be here until September which I though was strange; now they are closing down and can't get ahold of anyone >_< this is extremely stressful hopefully I can get my money back..

It's a complete and total shock to the employees. My sister works I guess I mean worked for AA -- they received a conference call Thursday morning on 7/13/17 saying they were to shut the doors and would no longer be opened after 6pm. They have given them no information accept a # and email address for brides/clients who have not received dresses. Please be patient and understanding with these associates. Corporate New they were closing and moved everything out a week ago and left their associates to deal with all the panimonoum. These associates feel terrible and want to continue to help customers the best they can but like I said have not been given any information. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed that everyone still receives their dress in time for their wedding. It's just heart breaking ??

I'm now freaking out, I know I have time, but with accessories and the dress I spent almost $2k... I feel awful for the employees as well.

@natalie a omg that's awful. This whole thing was handled so poorly they gave me a tracking number yesterday when I went to the store that doesn't even work.

Has anyone who hasn't received their dress figured out whats going on; if they are going to get refunded or anything, I was never contacted by anyone yesterday or at all on what was going on with my gown; Probably going to call my credit card company soon and hope for the best and hope i can find a wedding dress in time for my wedding in November

@samantha they are allegedly sending them to everyone who wasn't able to pick them up. You could try to get a tracking number but there is probably no way to hold them accountable. Did u have any alterations scheduled?

@Ashley My dress had not come in yet it was not due to come in until September, yeah and there was no answer when i called their main hub and the stores which i assumed since they closed but i had hoped

@samantha if I were u I would dispute the transaction. You don't want to end up in September with no dress and out whatever you paid for it. I definitely don't trust AA.

Still wondering if the dresses will be designed and sold in other stores?

@Sarah - I doubt it. The attorney letter said they tried to restructure and failed; at least, that's what it looks like it says. It's a bit blurry on my phone. Time will tell, though.

I would also think Disney will contract elsewhere. I'm sure AA owes Disney money at this point, though, so who knows how quickly Disney will find another seller, or if they will at all if they weren't profiting.

@Counting- thank you. I'm sure Disney isn't really hurting for money right now. But there was a Disney dress I wanted to try on. :-/

Agreed, @Sarah. It'll just depend if they think it makes any financial sense to move on with another company or cut their losses now.

Awful manager also mentioned the possibility of a liquidation sale. We will have to watch to see if they open that to the public or just other boutiques!

I disputed with the credit card conrpany and got a full refund; just sucks now I have to try and find another dress >_<

You all have to watch this video regards AA. This is based out of Glen Allen, VA

CRAZY. I feel horrible for the employees and brides involved
