buying from American websites

Hi, noobride!

Yes, my bridesmaids are going to try on some AA dresses soon - there ARE authorised dealers in the UK - just go on the AA site and look for stockists in your region - but be warned - I would ring the UK shop first as we had the surprise of a Leeds shop being listed as a stockist and when we went they said they had not stocked AA dresses for over a year - so the website couldn't have been updated.

The dresses are lovely indeed - I initially had my heart set on a AA wedding dress before i saw the one I eventually ordered - a Ronald Joyce one.

Be careful though if you DO buy them from US because I realised that I spent a lot more than i wanted to by the time i had to pay import tax. I bought a satin, fur-trimmed cape for my winter wedding and ugot a letter from UK customs that i had to pay import tax before they could deliver it to me!

Hi thanks for that tips as will plan a trying on before I order for sure, you would think it would be in their bets interest to keep updated The reason i am thinking of ordering from state is the cost comes out about 100 pounds for a dress and think AA will be more if i buy here although i may be wrong, do you know?

thanks

No, we found that they were as said on the UK website (i.e. it said "3 bells" which meant under £175, and the dress they likes was £150 in the shop here). The only thing I had to order from states was the swatch catalogue as they do not ship them here (a friend of mine in the US ordered it for me and sent it to me).
