Forget everything you know about the selfish bridezilla stereotype.

Women on Twitter have stepped up to help soon-to-be brides who are affected by Alfred Angelo closing. The wedding gown company closed 60 of its stores on Wednesday without any warning, before officially declaring bankruptcy on Friday.

Brides who ordered their wedding dresses through Alfred Angelo have been left with no idea of whether they'll get their gowns.

Though the situation has been incredibly stressful and understandably upsetting, there is a positive side to the story. Women from all over the country have selflessly decided to offer up their already-worn wedding gowns to those left without a dress.

The sisterhood of the traveling dresses is in full effect. Companies and other wedding vendors have also decided to step in and ease the stress.

Hopefully the women who ordered through Alfred Angelo will still manage to get the dream dress they originally wanted. Either way, it's been exciting to see women helping women with a gesture of kindness.
