“Much cheaper than shopping in the UK but not many bargains / reduced items (its still $130+ for a shirt unless it's on the reduced rail). There are some pretty jazzy options if that's your thing.”
“I was dreading my mother of the groom dress shopping until I walked in to Crystal Boutique. I am a size 18 so any dress I tried on made me look enormous and completely emphasized all the most unattractive parts of my body. When I walked in I was greeted warmly and welcomed by everyone. Annick was my glamorous stylist and put me in only 3 dresses. She looked at me and knew what styles would flatter my shape. I just bought a dress that makes my body look as good as it could possibly look. It's elegant and special and I am on the top of the moon!”
“The owners of the shop are very welcoming and helpful! They have expertise in a large variety of wedding types and events. We found the exact outfit we needed in the perfect size.”
“This store is such a treat. I love finding locally made gifts, offbeat greeting cards, and sometimes something for me, too. Joyce is a GEM - always helpful, knowledgeable, kind and accommodating.”
“We chk out some clothes today but the lady who assist us today is so kind nice and has a great service mind.
The best SA that i ever witnessed. She deserves a raise and bonus!!!”
“Very supportive providing suggestions of a dress for my upcoming event.Honest reviews of which dress looked best for my figure Took time to steam a dress so I could see how the dress would look in an area of concern.”
“This was such an amazing find! My son was so excited, as he has always wanted the opportunity to do his own shoe design! The own Ki was so kind and helpful and incredibly insightful!”
“Came from Croatia to this store,was amazed by The service and amazing apparel selection. Since I’m there often can’t wait to come again. As a stylist I found a lot of stuff for shootings back home. See u soon. Love the place”
“The owner is such a sweet lady. She gives you the V.I.P experience each time you enter her store. I would say 1 of the best boutique stores at Pentagon City mall.”
“So glad I stopped by! Not only is the coffee great, but they also sell clothes and shoes. The shirts/sweatshirts are super high-quality fabric.
The staff is incredibly friendly and chill!
Definitely check it out if you're in the area.”
“Amazing store that’s guided me through some great investments over the last few years especially with my outerwear! Love the management team and their knowledge / customer support. Would love to see more green colorways in store :-)”
“(Translated by Google) The truth is that I am extremely delighted with this experience, it gives me all my benefits(Original)La verdad es que estoy sumamente encantada con esta experiencia, me brinda todos mis beneficios”
“I had the best time today at Madewell 14th street!!! Monet and Terrence were so friendly and helpful today in helping me choose clothes. Madewell can feel a little inaccessible and yuppie but Monet and Terrence were so cool and kind and helped Madewell feel more inclusive. It is such a fun welcoming space for everyone who walks in.
They also have cute pop-up events and have great potential for expanding into more events. I would love to see them do more events :) always a great time at this Madewell location—hands down my favorite, and my go-to, Madewell ♥”
“The associates at Barbour Georgetown are true professionals, I brought in my jacket for a rewaxing. I was greeted warmly, they explained the treatment and why it needed to be redone. Definitely recommend Barbour for quality water resistant outerwear. I have owned this jacket for 28 years.”
“I come here to shop some things you can find here nice and cheap and sometimes you can find it somewhere else even cheaper I had a problem one time the young lady that I waited on me act like she didn't want to work that day Natalie she should have stayed home but I'm not going to let somebody like that stop me from shopping in a store that I like”
“Everard’s for Life
Whether you’re headed to a wedding, a swearing-in, a meet-the-parents brunch, or just strolling through a capital city wanting to look put-together rather than just “casual” — dash, don’t walk, to Everard’s.
This Georgetown gem has been my go-to for marking meaningful moments and the every day with style. Louis and Jennifer don’t just sell clothes—they offer sartorial support that makes you feel ready for whatever’s ahead.
If you’re dressing for a day with significance—or want to feel like it has some—start here.”
“I had an excellent customer service experience. Mary went out of her way to locate a pair of boots I was looking for and arranged to have them sent to me — with no extra fees. That level of care, effort, and professionalism truly made me feel valued as a customer. I really appreciate her help and will definitely continue supporting this brand!”
“Such a fun place to shop for gifts or unique finds for your wardrobe or home. Love the statement earrings, bday/baby shower gifts, ornaments, very funny greeting cards.”
“I am days away from receiving the clothes I purchased at M.M. LaFleur's Washington, D.C. location, and I can't wait! I booked an appointment with stylist Stefan, and I could not be happier with the experience. It was not intimidating, I did not feel pressured to buy anything, and Stefan ensured that the experience was a fun one. He found *amazing* clothes for me that made me feel like a boss - thank you, Stefan! (Now, if only there was a M.M. LaFleur store located nearer to where I lived . . . )”
“Jaryam is hands-down my favorite store in DC. When I say it’s one of a kind, I mean it. The lingerie and clothing are stunning, and you won’t find pieces like these anywhere else. The owner, Maryam, is incredibly charming and sweet—we hit it off immediately, and it’s always a good time stopping by her store. If you’re in the area, definitely check it out!
Maryam, if you’re reading this, it’s truly an honor knowing you and becoming your friend ?”

“Very welcoming, helpful, and great customer service. Along with having a variety of boots and belts that you can choose from. 10/10 would recommend especially if your looking for boots”
“Chain stores well known for these low prices. With unbeatable prices and great deals for luxury brands. Don't forget to go to the suitcase section, it's definitely worth it.”
“One of the best experiences I’ve had as a customer. Brought in an oversized jacket and they jumped through multiple hoops to exchange it for the proper size with only a few left at the warehouse. Very kind and helpful staff, very appreciative of their time and efforts.”
“Andre at the store was super (and very timely) responsive to what I think was an unusual request. I described what I had in mind. He had an inventive idea for the design and turned it around overnight (I had called the office 10 minutes before closing time). The design appeared in my in-box the next morning and we are refining details. Very happy with the process.”
“I walked into Old Navy and Kyra immediately greeted me and asked if I needed any help and offered to help look for anything specific. She followed up later when she saw me again just to ask again if I was finding everything okay. It seems minor, but she was sweet and thoughtful!!!!”

“Update: same 5 star
Visited yesterday. Courteous staff. Love the clothes last forever
Love everything about Patagonia and this store. Nicest staff. Love the clothes. Last forever. Amazing quality.”
“Share a branded store at the outlet mall.It began in 1983 with a clear vision: to create quality, nautical-inspired pieces that allow people around the world to realize and experience the joy of water. Starting with just six outerwear products, Nautica has grown into a globally recognized lifestyle brand with more than 35 categories in more than 65 countries.Come visit and shop for clothes in the store with diverse styles and colors.”
“We visited on a sunny Friday in late February early through mid afternoon. We are fans of an outlet with all-the-deals and this location did NOT disappoint. As another has mentioned this location is not ENTIRELY traditional outlet pricing; that said, we walked out with exceptional deals and a few items I have been looking forward to acquiring, for a lil more, but still quite competitively priced.
Sign up for their email/text for additional discounts and earn points with purchases that translate into $ off purchases. This visit I was also given a $10 off coupon for use in March.
As a side note, Tommy and Calvin are associated, if you purchase from one, historically they give you a coupon for the other store (printed with but cut separately with your receipt). On our visit we purchased at CK first and were provided an additional 15-20% off entire purchase at Tommy, good for SAME DAY ONLY. Tommy provided a $5.00 off purchase for CK.”

“Dd's, I love DD's going in there and see all the new things that they brought out for people to buy. I bought this spray called Clorox scentiva disinfected mist kills 99.9 of viruses and bacteria. It is great. I love it! Went back to buy a second bottle”
“I had the absolute pleasure of shopping at J.Crew today, and I cannot say enough about the incredible help I received from Rayna (forgive me if I’m misspelling her name). From the very moment she approached me, her professionalism and genuine attentiveness stood out. As a Diplomat who is new to the city, I walked into the store feeling unsure if I would find the right fit, especially since my frame is a little larger from years of working out. In my experience, shopping can sometimes feel like a hit or miss, but Rayna completely turned that around for me.
She took the time to really listen to what I needed, guided me through the options without ever making me feel rushed, and offered thoughtful recommendations that worked perfectly for my style and size. What really impressed me was her attitude, warm, confident, and encouraging from beginning to end. It wasn’t just about making a sale; it was about making sure I left the store satisfied and set up for success. That kind of customer service is rare, and it deserves to be recognized.
In a city like Washington, D.C., where first impressions matter, whether on Capitol Hill, at the Pentagon, or in a diplomatic setting, appearance and fit play a critical role. Rayna not only understood that but made sure I had exactly what I needed to represent myself well. She truly saved the day for me, and I deeply appreciate her efforts.
Because of her, J.Crew has earned more than just a customer; you’ve gained an advocate. I’ll be praising this store at the top of the mountain here in the capital, letting colleagues and friends alike know about the outstanding service I received. Thank you, Rayna, and thank you to the entire J.Crew team for your professionalism, dedication, and care.
God bless.
—Jack”
