“Melinda was the best! She helped my find my perfect dress. She curated a wonderful experience for me and my mom. I can’t believe I said yes to the dress!”
“Just picked up a tux from Anthony’s and, in one word: wow. Fantastic service, genuinely great people, and an all round brilliant experience. This place has been around since the 1970s, and it’s easy to see why. Highly recommend.”
“I never actually visited Ellie's Bridal Boutique, but I spoke to their staff on the phone multiple times about ordering a specific veil for me. They were all absolutely wonderful—kind and generous with their time and energy. Sarah, in particular, went out of her way to try to help me get the particular veil in time for my wedding. I ultimately ended up finding a different veil elsewhere, but I highly recommend this store regardless!”

“I highly recommend BeFitted! They did an impeccable job altering my strapless wedding dress just 4 weeks prior to my destination elopement. I was so worried to put my trust in anybody given we chose to elope and on such short time, but BeFitted really made the process stress-free. I bought the dress off the rack and it was gapping in the top and I knew the hem needed to be taken up several inches since I'm petite. BeFitted took amazing care of me and my dress. They did a rush alteration and had to take in several inches at the bodice/chest area and take out some of the boning to make it happen. I cannot express how grateful I am to them for the incredible work they did on such short notice. I went ahead with the cleaning and the preservation box and absolutely do not regret it. I felt gorgeous and the top didn't budge the entire day, even on our sunset sail!”
“5 stars, exceptional service, love and patience. When looking for a place to buy the dress of your dreams, let’s just say, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Sophi was phenomenal and an absolute pleasure to work with. She had the most genuine spirit and is the perfect person to help you find what you’re looking for. Although Elegance by Roya is a BUSINESS, they treat you like FAMILY.”
“I had a lovely experience here! I brought five guests with me, and GBG gave us a private space. The woman helping me was very responsive, helpful, and brought out beautiful dresses based on my feedback. Would highly recommend going here!”
“I have been a client of Jeanhee for more than a decade. Her work is amazing! She has miracle hands. I had a strapless gown with a stole that she transformed into a beautiful jacket. I just picked up a two piece ensemble that had a stubborn stain in the front. I was crushed until I took it to Jeanhee. She redesigned the jacket and took pieces from the sleeves to creatively hide any evidence of the stain on the front of my dress. My dress & jacket are beautiful and I can't wait to wear them! Jeanhee is a wonderful, gifted and talented artisan! She has my highest recommendation! Barbara”
“I love Anna’s Bridal and not just because Anna is my name. I went there nervous and overwhelmed and Ria fixed that immediately. Not only is she so cool, kind and understanding, she’s also very knowledgeable about dresses and sizes. I had no idea what size I was as I had a baby recently and she figured it out just by looking at me! She helped me find the PERFECT dress. I am so happy I made the hour drive to Anna’s Bridal!”
“I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Jas finding my wedding dress! Her attention to detail and care for her work is evident from the first time you walk into her store. I cannot recommend coming here enough!”
“I got my dress and veil at lovely bride and had a great experience. All the associates were kind and super helpful. My only criticism is that it is NOT handicap accessible. This meant my parents were not able to come with me to find and see my dress. To access the store you need to be able to go up an entire flight of stairs.”
“I had a wonderful experience at this bridal store! The staff were friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I found my perfect dress and highly recommend this store to everyone!”
“I’m so glad I found Green and Blue Studio for my wedding dress alterations! I was super nervous in finding someone to trust, but my experience was absolutely wonderful. They allowed me to try different types of bustles to pick the perfect one and fit the top of my dress perfectly! It was also a lovely and clean space putting me perfectly at ease.”

“Mae was wonderful to work with on my suit alteration. I bought a linen suit online and it unfortunately was a bit big on me. I found Fashion Center Alterations on google and thought why not give it a go! I'm headed to California for a wedding, so I needed something to be done quickly.
Upon entering, Mae was very open and welcoming to me! She was able to quickly figure out where I needed alterations just by a glance. I gave her my suit and pants to be ready by May 28th, but she got it done over a week and a half earlier. The speed and precision was astounding and the final product was even better. I've never had a suit fit me as well as this one, and it looks great!
Aside from that, she was the sweetest person ever. My wife and her conversed about being small business owners and she felt like family. Thank you again Tita Mae, we'll be back again soon :)”
“I loved my bridal styling with Violet :) She was personable, knowledgeable, and created a relaxed, comfy experience. I could tell she carefully reviewed the questionnaire ahead of time. She researched my venue to get a sense of the overall vibe and my favorite dresses were ready for me as soon as I got there. I'd highly recommend Violet to any bride looking for a supportive and stress-free styling!”
“A lovely boutique with an amazing selection of high-quality linens, lingerie, pajamas, soaps, cute gifts, and more! Would definitely recommend visiting for any household or gift-giving needs. Service is great and the staff are all very knowledgable and can help you find exactly what you're looking for to suit your tastes.”

“My daughter's prom is approaching and we purchased a beautiful mermaid-styled dress at a bridal shop where it would be altered. They cut the train off and my daughter and I were heartbroken. They reattached it but the seam was highly visible and the nylon tulle underneath was not reattached. Alvin is an angel. He worked a miracle on earth and, now, my daughter is over the moon! When she graduates college, I'm ordering a custom-made dress for her from him. His skills are impeccable. I wish we had ordered one made for prom but I have learned my lesson. I am going to the best from the start and the best is Alvin! Thank you for saving my child's prom!!!!”

“We were visiting the area and made a purchase at this store. At least an hour later we were sitting outside having something to eat. Amanda from the shop found us and said she was looking for us as she overcharged us. Her next stop was going to go to our hotel to find us. What a thoughtful and wonderful person! Amanda said she didn’t want us to have a bitter memory of Alexandria! Thank-you Amanda!”

“Wedding Gown Specialists just did an Amazing job restoring my mother's 45 year old wedding dress that was stored in a plastic bag for the entire time. It was so yellowed and had stains. I came in almost in tears because we are having my mother's dress made into a First Communion Dress for our daughter and I had no idea how long a restoration could take! I didn't think we could get the dress to the seamstress in time. Barbara was so kind to me and talked me through the process. She understood how much we needed the dress to be restored quickly and with quality to make this new family heirloom. I got the dress back early (3.5 weeks)!! It is so beautiful- looks like new! We will definitely go back for a post-communion cleaning so our second daughter can also use the dress!”

“Mrs. Donna did an excellent job on my dress. I previously took it to another tailor and my dress was still ill fitting (too big in the top and no shape at the bottom-backside). Donna listened to my concerns and made the necessary adjustments to make the dress fit as I wanted.”
“Grace at Carine's Bridal was incredible to work with—she was kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. She always knew exactly what to say! I absolutely loved my dress and am so grateful for her guidance in helping me make my decision.”
“Exceptional Service from Jennifer - Feedback on Return Policy
I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at Anthropologie, particularly highlighting the outstanding service I received from Jennifer, located in Georgetown.
After a disappointing experience at the Bethesda and Fairfax locations, where staff refused to assist me with returning a lilac taper candle set of 2 without a receipt, I was feeling quite frustrated. Despite explaining that I had purchased the item from the Georgetown location just a week prior and requesting that they call for my receipt number, I was met with resistance and no resolution.
However, when I returned to the Georgetown store, Jennifer went above and beyond to help me. She not only located my receipt but also confirmed that the other locations had the capability to retrieve receipt numbers from their store. While she mentioned it would take some extra time, it was reassuring to know that a solution was possible.
Jennifer's exceptional customer service made a significant difference in my experience. She was friendly, patient, and truly exemplified what excellent customer care should be. I genuinely appreciate her efforts and will remember the positive interactions I had with her - I think it would add value to Anthropologie if all staff was trained by Jennifer.
In addition to recognizing Jennifer's exemplary service, I would like to suggest that Anthropologie consider updating its return policy. A 30 day return window for customers without receipts would be more accommodating, especially when it's clear that the product has not been used. Additionally, implementing a system for customers to select receipt emails or texts upon purchase, particularly for transactions involving gift cards, would be a helpful improvement. This would prevent situations like mine, where my gift card was discarded after use.
Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I hope it can contribute to enhancing the customer experience at Anthropologie.
Best regards,
Ms. Price”
“I had a fabulous experience with everyone at this shop. I needed custom sleeves to be added to the dress and the seamstress did a fantastic job creating them. Gladys is the sweetest person.”

“The whole experience was awesome! I had to purchase two dresses for a family wedding. We ordered a junior bridesmaids and flower girl dress without ease.
They gave us many options to try on and clipped the dresses so we could envision the look. The you ladies worked with us to make the ordering process easy. Overall, they were fantastic!”
“I am so blessed to have found this flower shop. They did my father casket spray for me and it was so beautifully made! I was joyful to see the beautiful work put into this. I ordered it on a Thursday and it was ready for me by Sunday morning the day of my dads funeral. THANK YOU SO MUCH, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL ☺☺🤗”
