“Ed over at Anthony's Tuxedo will take care of you 100%.
I had an abysmal experience using Generation Tux for my nephew's black tie wedding. Suit arrived laughably too large and the quality was garbage, even for a rental tux. I cancelled the order, got a refund, and walked immediately over to Anthony's Tuxedo.
Unlike Gen Tux, Anthony's has actual clothing items to try on in store. Ed took my meaurements, gave me two sizes to try on based on that, and guided me on which size looked best. I don't think I'll personally need it, but Ed also mentioned he works with a tailor nearby to get minor alterations done to pants if need be.
Anthony's Tuxedo saved me A LOT of frustration and headache. Ed saved the day.”
“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 didn’t end up getting my dress from Ellie’s but I had a great experience there! I booked the no frills appointment because it was my first time dress shopping and I had no idea what I wanted and I didn’t want to feel pressured. I went on a weekday so the weren’t too busy and I definitely received 5 star service. The attendant was so sweet and helpful, and took the time to pull so many dresses for me! She was very patient and kind. The dresses were beautiful! Would highly recommend! If I hadn’t found my dress at the second store I went to, I was highly considering booking another appointment at Ellie’s to keep looking.”
“Wonderful experience having my dress tailored here. The tulle was delicate and hard to work with and they still were able to make it fit in all the right places and cinched the tulle around the waist perfectly to keep it from puffing. The bustle was also a life saver because it had rained the morning of my wedding to the train was very heavy to walk around with after getting soaked. Overall, they were super lovely and really happy with the dress.”
“I have gotten several wedding guest dresses length taken in and recently got my engagement photo shoot dress tailored and she was able to turn it around successfully in just a few days right before new years Eve! Absolute rock star!”
“This is hands-down the best place to buy a wedding dress! I visited multiple places in the area when looking for wedding dresses and this boutique was by far the best. They have a great selection of designer dresses, and we found the prices very fair. But most of all I appreciated how attentive and kind they are - I felt like a princess whenever I went to their boutique! And the tailoring service they have is absolutely spectacular - the tailors work wonders! I’ve sent all my friends to this boutique and recommend it to everyone. Thank you, Global Bridal!”
“Gracey at Lovely Bride is the best and helped me find the perfect dress for me. She was extremely supportive, had great energy, and she was patient with me when I changed my mind about styles. The dress I wanted they didn’t have in the DC store so Gracey arranged for the dress to be loaned in from the New York store which I tried on and loved and bought that day. I recommend Gracey and Lovely Bride!”

“I had an amazing experience with House of Ketubah! I was assisted by Tiffany and her daughter, Gabby, and both were amazing. I thought the first dress they selected for me to try on would be the one I said yes too, but my mom wanted me to try more and the second dress ended up being the one. I tried on maybe 5 dresses and all were beautiful, but I knew it would be the second dress after seeing it. I did a lot of research to find a good place and am so happy House of Ketubah was the first place I decided to make an appointment with and was able to say yes to a dress quickly. It is also affordable, especially if you are starting your dress search later than you should be (like me)! I absolutely recommend this place!”
“I’m still in awe of how quickly my pants were altered. The seamstress is exceptional and committed to delivering quality service. This is the only place I trust to alter my garments in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia area. 10/10 - highly recommend!”
“Jas is absolutely one of a kind. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my wedding dress experience so far. She has made me feel so comfortable and confident every time I come in for my dress fitting. I have no doubt that my wedding dress will be everything I have dreamed of because of Jas. Highly recommend!!!”

“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!”

“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 visited the store on 12/8/25 to place a birthday order for balloons. Javonna B. assisted me with my order and also addressed my general inquiries. She was extremely courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I truly appreciated the exceptional customer service I received. Unfortunately, in the times we now live in, you can't even receive BASIC customer service when that should be the standard, not the exception. As for the retailers, Big-box stores, etc., they just don't seem to care. I'll definitely revisit this location and make future purchases. Thanks for caring and KUDOS to Javonna B!!”
“I recommend coming to Oscar Flowers & Gift shop their employees are very nice and friendly they also provide good service and everything they sell is at a good and reasonable 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.”
“I had the most amazing experience with Grace and Samantha. Carine’s Bridal was my first appointment of the day, and while I didn’t end up getting my dress there, I almost didn't give my second fitting a fair shot because the experience Grace and Samantha provided was leaps and bound above the competition. Ultimately, my choice came down to cost, but I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had. Everything about it was perfect, from the decor to the atmosphere, to the dress selection, and of course, the people. I highly recommend Carine’s for every bride in the DMV!”

“I searched for a classic bridesmaid dress for my girls and Bella Bridesmaids absolutely delivered that. From SO MANY selections, I would find it hard to not find a dress you liked. I had bridesmaids all down the east coast, and with the multiple locations, the DC store made it possible so my bridesmaids could order and pick up at the location nearest them.
My in person appointment was wonderful! Our consultant let my girls try on as many styles as they wanted and we never felt the pressure to get something that they did not love.
Overall, they were super professional, kind, and knowledgeable about their dresses.”
“GiGi, you did an absolutely amazing job helping me select my wedding dress 15 years ago—and then again, 10 years later, when you helped me find the perfect anniversary dress. Each experience was unforgettable, and your eye for detail, style, and individuality truly made me feel special.
You were so helpful in guiding me toward looks that not only fit beautifully, but truly stood out. Your professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made all the difference, and those moments remain some of my most cherished memories.
Thank you for being part of such meaningful milestones in my life.”
