help finding afred angelo bridesmaid dress cheaper

Hope this is in the right place.
My 2 daughters are to be bridesmaids in September. We have tried Alfred Angelo 7014 dresses on and BOTH loved them! :jNothing short of a miracle until I saw the price £150 each. :mad: A lot for one day.
I have seen these online especially USA but am scared they wont be the same quality etc.
My question is will these dresses vary in prices in different bridal shops or does anyone know where I can find these cheaper?

Any help would be really appreciated I'm exhausted just finding something they both like!!

Thanks MSEsx

    I too looked at that dress for my teenage bridesmaid, I'm sure it was £125 in Pronuptuia.

    I would phone around. The dresses from USA online bridal shops will probably be the same (make sure it is a shop and not custom made place)

    i got my alfred angelo wedding dress from the USA. its the real deal, £150 instead of the £750 i saw it for over here.
    i would totally recommend buying from the USA but just beware they are legit and not Chinese copies

    Thanks for pointing that out anderson8 as I nearly posted a Chinese copy just now. Noticed at the bottom of the page I was looking at says: Chinese factory copy.

    Have a look at the Buy from the US article which might help you. Don't know if it's worth mentioning searching any of the major shopbots as well as you might have better luckk finding one of these dresses in the US I guess.

    Anyway, if you think it’s worth a shot then try searching the Mega Shopbot. There's also a list of shopbots at the bottom of this page that might help as well.

    Good luck!

    these finish at 6.45pm TONIGHT
    they are a size 10/12 and an 8 which has been taken in so would fit 6/8

    Thanks very much for all you help and advice. I love this site people are so kind. Great response and great advice.:A
    Just in from work and have had a quick look. My problem with ebay and preloved is the sizes and colour. Typical!! I need a size 12 and 16 in cobalt blue with ivory or white trim.
    Great advice about checking if company is in China as I would not have know just by looking at the site until I looked at the bottom.

    Thanks again

    I got 3 Alfred Angelo dresses from ebay all different sizes, from different sellers. 2 are teh same style and 1 slightly different for my teenage BM. They cost me a grand total of a whooping £130 :D

    TBH I think you may struggle to get the right colour on ebay but I'll keep my eye out x
