Best Party Dresses Shops Washington Near Me

Briana Esp: The customer service was amazing and everybody there was so nice! I loved almost every single dress I tried on, and if I told them it’s too big they always told me that’s okay and they can help with that. I honestly loved it here! 😭 I wish I could stay forever lol!

Chloe Mizrahi: Absolutely amazing dresses, people, and help!! Whenever I need a dress for a pageant or prom this is where I go and tell my friends to go. Everyone especially the owner is so so sweet. Everyone is so helpful and makes sure u have the right dress. It can be stressful at times but they make sure everything goes smoothly. She accommodates everyone’s needs, even I go I go with my sisters as well. Even when the store is so busy during prom and pageant season she helps everyone!! THE BEST PLACE EVER!!

Gina Shawl: Dresses are gorgeous but alterations not so good. My daughters dress first came back as a high low which it was not suppose to be and the way it was altered in waist line made it too tight in the hips. Second alteration in fixing the high low now dress was too long. They should really have a tailor in store to mark measurements. Also the communication wasn’t good never was told when the dress came in both times. 2 days before prom and we decided we just had to live with it!

Kayla Rivadeneira: This place is my absolute favorite!!! It was very professional, clean and helped me find the perfect prom dress! The owner was so kind to guide me to the dress of my dreams as well as making sure I was comfortable, safe and happy. I would definitely recommend.

Juanita Beltran: The store was actually very beautiful and very well put together however the store only caters to one type of woman my daughter being plus size went to the store in hopes of finding a pageant dress. It was only one dress that she was given to Try on and the sales people were very standoffish and the vibe that you got was that she was treated differently I was sitting outside and watching how they interacted with the more skinnier persons who came into the store as a opposed to my daughter she was completely ignored we even asked if they were other dresses if she could try and And we were told I’m not sure and the sizes they were suggested we’re not even for her, the sales people and the owner push the dress so hard and wasn’t taking her feelings into consideration. No don’t give me wrong these girls and this lady can sell the pants off somebody but this mama bear was not impressed or buying it, it was all fake no real substance or truth to their salesmanship and did not appreciate how my daughter was treated as opposed to the other people in the store because she’s plus size. Truthfully was so ready to drop good money for a dress so happy I didn’t- I am all about Stellar customer service and will pay for that stellar customer service but unfortunately I did not find it at the store

Shannon Giddens: After getting blindsided by a custom dress designer yesterday three weeks before my daughter’s prom and encountering a rude boutique owner (In Annapolis) this afternoon. We reached out to Signature and Bobbi answered the phone and just the greeting on phone made us feel like the day will get better. Our experience with Bobbi was amazing from the initial phone call to completing our transaction. She picked out a dress that appeared to have been made for my daughter and picked the perfect accessories to go with the dress . After all we encountered in the last 24 hours, we were able to find the perfect dress and our prayers were answered. Thank you Signature, especially Bobbi for turning this frantic prom dress search to a beautiful experience. My daughter is still smiling and can’t wait to pick up her dress. PS. I also saved a couple of dollars. WONT HE DO IT!!!

Divine Enyi: AMAZING! The dresses were stunning and the service and top notch. My friend and I were able to find our prom dresses there and they were beautiful. Highly recommend!!!

Samantha K: I’d love to give 5 stars! The staff were a dream to work with. They clipped and zipped me whenever I needed help. Reps emailed me a list of seamstress in the area, which was helpful too. The offer limited sizes to try on and like what another reviewer said the dresses are in poor condition but they were good enough to get an idea. I liked the dressing room size and setup. The reason why I am giving four stars is because of their lighting in the entire dressing room. The only lights that were helpful were in the fitting room but not where you walk out to show your friends what the dresses look like on you. That lighting was not great on me. My dress was shipped to the wrong address. I called and the rep said she fixed my address. Hopefully, the dress arrives. Mistakes happen. Parked in a lot for $12/day but there is a garage in the building that BHLDN is in.

Courtney W: I came to BHLDN as a bridesmaid to try on dresses. Our consultant (do not know her name) was not good. She was not very friendly or helpful. We felt like we had to ask her to do things that she should’ve already been doing. She made a comment towards me that made me feel horrible about my size. She rushed the bride at the end of the appointment in a rude manner. The bride had come here before and had an opposite experience with another consultant, so i know they’re not all like this.

Yasemina Julia Paraskeva: Recently scheduled an appointment to try on bridal gowns at Bhldn’s Gtown location. They had a broad variety of gowns and an ample fitting room. I received excellent service from Sloane - she was very thorough in explaining the ordering process and in helping me determine my size. She was very attentive. I highly recommend her when making bridal gown try-on appointments at Bhldn Georgetown!

Joy Lyle: Stopped in the store last minute to look at the wedding dresses. The consultant Ellie was so kind and accommodating. Wonderful experience! 😊

Emily Dohogne: The sample dresses to try on are in rough shape - there was pilling, stains, and pulls on much of the dresses’ fabrics. They need to be replaced. It’s difficult to get a visual image of the gowns because of the state of their conditions. Overall, it was a good appointment. Our stylist was nice and helpful and honest, but again, the state of the dresses really brings down the experience and expectations of these thousand dollar dresses.

Mia Laze: I am paying for my dress and service. I don’t get why I was treated like they were doing me a favor. 1. I am a dress size 6 and the lady insisted j order a 12 saying I might gain weight between now and then 2. The alteration was almost 1000$ and I asked an estimate just so I know before my alteration appointment... u know just a ball park. This number was just dropped on me and I was in shock. 3. After all of this was done I had to go and pick up my dress. I cancelled the appointment twice Because I had other things to take care of that were urgent and the other time I just forgot. The lady had the audacity to tell me if I cancelled anymore I can not pick up my dress!! Lol I paid over 2000 dollars for this and all you had to do was hold it for me. The alteration lady was awesome tho

Keila White: I was so nervous about finding a wedding dress, especially during a pandemic, but the consultants here are so friendly and supportive. They helped me find a dress that I love.

Laura Leonardi: The best dress shopping experience . The warm friendly expert advice finding the most beautiful dress for your special occasion. The appointment is all about you. Well worth the visit.

Lia Konieczny: Their dresses are extremely overpriced and I received terrible customer service when trying to arrange the pickup of my dress. For context, the bride and other bridesmaids are based out of DC but I made a fitting appointment and ordered my dress from the Richmond location. At the time of my in store order, the consultant said that I was good to go and they’d call me when my dress arrived in Richmond. Fast forward almost 6 months later, after trying to track my dress down over the past two weeks (I received an email on 3/10 saying my order had arrived and they would be shipping them out to us the next day), the DC office said they had the dress and apologized for the mixup and told me to send them an I address so they could ship it to me, there was NO mention of an additional charge or that they would not ship the dress to another Bella location. Today, they informed me that it would be an additional $26.50 for them to ship the dress to my home address as they do NOT ship dresses between locations. It’s absolutely ridiculous that this information was NEVER communicated to me at any point during this process and I will be highly discouraging my friends and family from using Bella in the future.

Emily Lagos: I had a wonderful experience with Bella Bridesmaids in DC. Especially Sheri the owner who took special care of me and my girls. The dresses were beautiful, arrived in a timely manner and looked amazing on all my bridesmaids. Bella has tons of selections which is why I selected them for my Wedding Day. Although the price was high it was worth it. All my girls loved their dresses and had the option to get some money back for them by selling them to other Bridesmaids/Ladies for other events. Choose Bella-They are GREAT!

nicole flores: I’m so disappointed and irritated with this place. We picked it, because it looked like they had a lot of options. Please don’t waste your time and money. My friend’s wedding is two weeks away we still don’t have the dresses, this order was placed back in April. The store associate have not been helpful or try to give options to resolve this issue, they have the audacity to say “we don’t know where the dresses are” there is a contract in place were it clearly states *BY PLACING THIS ORDER, I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES AND AGREE WITH ALL THE TERMS STATED IN THIS CONTRACT AND POLICY FORM AND AUTHORIZE BELLA BRIDESMAID TO CHARGE THE CREDIT CARD ON FILE. How about when they do not comply with the contract. I still cannot believe the lack of customer service, and the stress that they put people on their wedding planning.

Jamie Davis: Great experience! The process was very easy for all my bridesmaids that were in different locations. Bella Bridesmaids kept me in the loop and let me now once all of my bridesmaids dresses were ordered/delivered etc. Bride recommended!

Sydney Sanderson: I bought my wedding dress from Lovely Bride DC back in February and my experience was nothing short of fabulous. On my first visit, I was by myself and Tabby helped me FaceTime my mom to share in the experience. Several dresses were pulled based on my choices made online, but a couple other dresses were pulled as we went along and Tabby honed in on what I was interested in. I loved the way they help you reach a decision, and everyone in the building was so supportive and kind - even if they were not directly helping me. A wonderful experience from start to finish and of course, a beautiful dress. Thank you!

Julia Ganzi: Loved my experience with Danielle at Lovely Bride. 2 of my final 3 dresses that I chose between were here. One of my bridesmaids ended up getting her wedding dress here too. Great vibe/ ambience in the salon, very personalized and attentive service, and the ordering process was very smooth with my dress arriving early.

Jennifer Freed: Elizabeth was amazing to work with and made my experience feel personal, special and so fun! She chose gowns I was obsessed with (that ended up being finalists) and immediately picked up on my style and the look I was going for. I honestly could not have had a better bridal shopping experience. Elizabeth is a gem and anyone would be so lucky to get to work with her! Lovely bride is also a beautiful space with gorgeous options .

Maddie: I went to 4 bridal studios before buying my dress and had the best experience at lovely bride!! Danielle was truly the best and so helpful. I was starting to get nervous and discouraged about my search for a dress but when i went to lovely bride i tried on about 4 dresses before i found the one, all of which i liked more than any dress i had tried up to that point. They definitely have the most unique selection of gowns specifically If you are looking for a more modern look that other stores just aren’t carrying yet. Cannot reccommend lovely bride enough!

Ariel Kramer O'Brien: This was the best wedding dress shopping experience I had throughout the process. Danielle chatted with me and showed a real interest in my life and relationship. It was a fun appointment and I strongly recommend going here for a unique and beautiful wedding dress.

Tony Mack: Excellent place to find that unique piece that makes you stand out and be noticed! Phyllis was wonderful and a pleasurable Consultant to meet and work with!!!

Emma Kinev: Was never shopping for clothes in Washington, other things, not ladies wear. That is until I walked into Lily the First boutique in Georgetown. At first glance one sees it has a unique selection from designers from around the world.The trends are today’s but the style is what one can wear, plus one can find an outfit for many occasions and that will come with proper accessories if you need them too. The jewelry in a store actually attracts shoppers who come to see and buy just that before evening on town. Ifat travels and hand picks designers in Italy, France, Israel for both clothing and jewelry. All in great taste, plus the atmosphere in a store is that what women want. Great experience, a must for those who seek a good place for shopping in Washington. Let alone a significant charitable work this place does for the community. Strongly recommended.

Madi Gesse: Gorgeous clothes!!! The staff was so wonderful and made the experience a dream!! If you are daring enough to wear clothes no one else will have this is a must! Everything is tasteful and unique!!

Marie Moore: I love this store. Ifat has a keen eye for what is both hip, if that is your jam, and what is just great fashion. My daughter snd her friends shop here too, so she has something for everyone! We all need to feel glam and this store is a place where I always find something that I feel special in.

Lynnette Harris: Lili the First is a must stop for clothing in Georgetown. This wonderful boutique features clothes for every type of woman, as well as jewelry, scarves, and bags, from designers in Europe, Israel, and the US. They are all hand picked by the owner, Ifat Pridan, who makes shopping for clothes refreshing and fun. I am retired and I always find clothes here that I can wear every day, or for special occasions and when I travel. They are stylish, comfortable, pack easily and travel well. I have worn my Lili the First purchases, clothing and jewelry, on my travels through out the US and Europe and have always received compliments. If you are looking for beautiful, wearable clothes, incredible customer service and a sense of community, Lili the First has it all.

Megan Cairns: I love carine’s! The dresses were beautiful and high end and the inventory was fantastic. I worked with Briana who was amazing! She instantly understood my style and pulled perfect dresses for me. She was sweet and accommodating. She worked with me for multiple appointments and never became impatient. I was able to really explore the different styles and figure out what I wanted. While I didn’t end up purchasing my wedding dress from Carine’s, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend.

Ilana Naidamast: Carine’s Bridal/Aisle is truly the Kleinfeld of the DMV. Carine is the fairy godmother of bridal gowns and while I didn’t find my dress here, she taught me SO much about what I want in a dress. Carine was extremely knowledgeable and put so much thought, effort, and time into my appointment. I felt like an absolute princess. We talked for about 5 minutes before shopping through the racks and she knew my style right away. I have tried on a lot of dresses, none of which came close to “the one” until I visited Carine’s. Lastly, my appointment was in person during COVID and the $45 cleaning fee was SO worth it. She takes the ultimate amount of caution to stay safe, clean, and social distance. Cannot recommend Carine’s enough. Everything about this store and the experience feels magical.

Jessica Nguyen: Zoya’s Atelier is HANDS DOWN the best bridal boutique in the area. Having gone through a few “big” names, I can honestly say that I am so glad I said yes to my dress at Zoya’s. Immediately upon walking in, Amy made me feel so at ease and so comfortable. It was such a different experience than anywhere else. She listed to me, asked questions and really understood what I was wanted. She was never pushy about making the sale. If I said no to a dress, she immediately took it into account for the next and not show me the same style. She wanted me to be in love with the dress and nothing else. Alterations was amazing as well after the fact. Zoya herself made sure everything was done to perfection. She’s super sweet!! The entire alterations team is so professional and you can tell they will never send you home with a dress that’s not up to their standards. Do yourself a favor and go to Zoya’s Atelier!! They treat you like family and not just another bridal sale.

julie huang: I dropped in 2 weeks before a big event that I still didn’t have a dress for; Zoya, Doris and her team attended to me straightway and managed to find me perfect gown. Although it was several sizes off and there was no time to order it in the right size, their seamstresses got me sewed into it so it fit like a glove and was comfortable, as well. It was an expensive experience, but a positive one and well worth the splurge — I looked and felt like a million bucks afterward. You only live once!

Kate Thomasson: Where do I even start?! I loved every minute of my experience at Zoya’s Atelier and especially that I got to work with Zoya herself! I made an appointment for a trunk show event to try on a specific dress I’ve had my eye on since the designer published it in their new collection. After having been to a few other bridal shops and not finding anything special or really feeling like it was a true wedding dress shopping experience, I came to Zoya’s. Best decision ever. She sat down with my mom, sister and I and went over the form I filled out, the store layout, and our favorite part was how they do the alterations in-house! Zoya is calming, friendly, a perfectionist (we love that!) and as another reviewer said - truly like a fairy godmother. I would trust her with anything! She set aside the dress I came in for to be the last to try on, she picked a few dresses she thought would look good on me and we picked a few I thought I’d like. The first dress she put me in was her pick and it was STUNNING! Something I never would’ve picked for myself but I truly felt beautiful in it, the fabric was airy and light and a one of a kind dress. So that first dress became the one to beat as we tried on the others that just didn’t have the wow factor… until the last dress. The one I’ve had my eye on. I really didn’t expect to have “that feeling” that everyone refers to when you find the one but I did. I teared up a bit and really truly felt like wow, this is so me. It was a really tough choice because I also loved the first dress too! Zoya asked all the right questions, she was a true advocate for helping make the best decision for me and how I felt. So we took some time to think about it, made another appointment for a few days later to bring my parents in to see both dresses and make my decision. One thing that stuck with me was Zoya said to “go with the dress you’re most excited about” and let me tell you, I did not stop thinking about that last dress, I looked at the photos of it online multiple times a day and was so excited to put it back on!! We came back in, put both dresses on and I just knew it was the one. They had a champagne toast for us to celebrate, took a few photos with the Zoya’s Bride sign and had my measurements taken. At both appointments, I never felt rushed like I did in the other shops, it’s a big decision to make so I greatly appreciate the time taken to ensure I knew I was making the right decision! And with that being said, I know I made the right decision on the dress but more importantly to become a Zoya’s Bride! I trust the entire team and cannot be more excited to experience this journey with them! Thank you so much! 💕

Stephanie Mineo: My future daughter-in-law, Shannen and I had an amazing and very elevated experience with Amy from start to finish AND she said YES to the dress! It all just felt right. I highly recommend Zoya Atelier.

Lion King: My all time favorite shopping place in the U. S.! Quiet and full of beautiful stuffs! D.C branch is one of the best one, the people work there are nice and beautiful, will help you find the things you want especially the one in the shoes area, we didn’t try shoes but she gave us some advices on coat!

Hannah Degn: The best anthro building in the the DC metro area! It’s 3 stories, always has an amazing sales section, and has a great home section too! It’s such a cute store and has such a large selection! Definitely worth browsing and trying things on that you see online!

Sally G: 3 levels of amazing clothing and other Misc. items. Need appointment for Formal dresses.

Danielle Markham: Cute store, great decorations. Lots of selection, even nice to browse if you are not in the mood to buy anything.

Sujata Rajan Seth: Display of whites in front of this store reminded us of warm sunny days ahead

Hecky Allman: Had the absolutely best experience in BHLDN last Monday. Found a wonderful wedding dress and experienced first class service from start to finish. Continued shopping at Anthropology and again was so impressed by the staff. Manager Eleanor was terrific. Thank you all for making the occasion all the more special due to your kindness and professionalism.

Lucius Domitius Aurelianus (Augustus): Surprisingly good clearance sales given the brand and place

Lizette R: Everything about my experience was 5 star worthy. Loved the online reservation that allowed me to pick all the dresses online ahead of time. A lot of additional options to choose from in the store too My stylist, Liz, was a dream. She never tried to upsell me. She was present, patient and asked questions about the venue and my groom to help give good feedback on dress styles. She had a list of place ready to go to refer me for my fitting. She even helped select my crown. Liz made my day I even teared up in the store. Thank you Liz and BHLDN Bethesda for helping me pick the most important dress of my life

Jessica Carns: Iris was a wonderful consultant. My brother is getting married and I scheduled an appointment for my mother to find a dress. She listened carefully, researched all the options available, stayed within price point preference, and provided input on fit and sizing. We found a dress and the other team members were equally helpful during the purchasing process. Finding mother of the bride/ groom dresses can be difficult and they made it such an easy, enjoyable process. My mom left with a huge smile and is so excited for her dress to arrive!

Courtney Elam: I much preferred when this shop had its own location. It feels cramped and a bit less special of an experience with people casually shopping around you. Dresses were stunning and good quality, but lacked options for more petite brides.

Samantha Bennett: I had a wonderful experience finding my wedding dress here in fall 2021! Both appointments went smoothly (the first was to try a bunch of dresses on, the second was to narrow it down between two options) and the staff were helpful. My dress was backordered so shipping took awhile, but I knew that when I ordered it. Super happy with my dress for my May wedding!

Ali Ruth: I was really pleased with my recent BHLDN appointment with Brettney as my stylist. I liked that this was a low-stress environment for looking at wedding dresses - I had time to browse on my own and pick out what I liked but also had help with trying on the dresses and received useful advice on different fabric options, tailoring options, and accessories. I would definitely recommend making an appointment here.

Elin Hamalainen: I had the best wedding dress experience with Megan :) She made me feel comfortable, beautiful and excited to wear the dress we picked out. She’s an angel and a master, I highly recommend her and BHDLDN for the perfect dress buying experience. Thank you Megan!

Worldly Wander: I had a great experience with the stylist, Larissa, at this location. She was super knowledge and flexible! Thanks for an awesome appointment.

Allison Nicole Zwegat: Ella rue has a great selection of pieces, from contemporary to designer! The staff are so friendly and truly make the shopping experience at Ella rue so fun and easy. I have visited the store several times and purchased beautiful and unique items every time. I will definitely be back soon!

Maurielle C: They have pretty good deals for luxury brands like Valentino, Love Shack Fancy, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and lots more. The employees are not as friendly, though. A good variety of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Would recommend or any formal occasions or black tie events. Other than the rather unfriendly and unaccommodating service, the shop is nice.

Camryn Baylee Kinsey: The service at Ella Rue NEVER disappoints. I am a reporter and whenever I need something to wear very last minute they always have pieces to pull for me. The quality of the merchandise is amazing and they have very affordable pricing for luxury brands. Everything from Valentino, Chanel, Love Shack Fancy, and YSL. thank you Ella Rue for always taking care of me ❤️❤️❤️

Andrew's lifestyle: Ella rue is one of the most fantastic places in the heart of Georgetown. Not only have we purchased from there if also can sign there. Krista makes the consigning process fantastic and so effortless, your consignor payout is 10 times better than The RealReal. The quality of items they have is simply unmatched true gems from designers. They treat every single customer with the upmost respect whether you’re buying a $10 hair clip or a $4000 Chanel bag.

Eleni Wright: Basic girl central, if you know what I mean. Pricing is retail even for items over 5 years old. Ownership obviously lacks basic knowledge on fashion and caters to a stale and old clientle DC base, which is reflected in their inventory.

Silvana Saca: Amazing experience at this consignment store. It was a really hot day and the owner had cold drinks ready for my husband and I when we got in which was really sweet. I was looking for a dress to wear to a themed wedding. When I told the owner, she pulled something that ended up being perfect! A wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be a returning customer

Bethany Mansfield: This is my second time at a David’s Bridal and both times I had a great experience! They have a wide selection of dresses for every body type. The staff was so helpful and Victoria went above and beyond to help me find my dress and jewelry for the ball I was attending. I left feeling sexy and confident after trying on these dresses. Thank you ladies so much for some of the best costumer service I’ve experienced, I felt beautiful and had an amazing evening.

Safiyah Cheatam: I looove my dress!! Birdie was amazing to work with and was very patient while making my dress vision come true! She and Gladis did an AWESOME job adding the sleeve detailing and adding the necklace to the neckline on a tight timeline. Can’t wait to wear it!

Leanne L: I purchased my dress from David’s Bridal in the UK but due to Covid, I moved to the US before I could get married and wear my dress. My dress needed a zip back changing to a laced corset back, straps adding as well as altering the size. Flo and her team at David’s Bridal, Rockville were fantastic!! I was so concerned that I was asking for too much but they were so helpful and so skilled. I am very happy with my dress and I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for me. I would definitely recommend them - your dress will be in the best hands!

shaylin26: Ms.Florencia from tailor department is the most experienced tailor for wedding gowns and dresses. So understanding of what I need to get done. Very patient to give her time, experience and absolutely outstandingly wonderful. I am so glad to have my dream wedding gown be done by Ms. Florencia! Everyone in the store are wonderful and excellent customer service they have. Once again Thank you so much Ms. Florencia for making this very easy and I love my dress! It is absolutely perfect! I will never forget your kindness and I will always appreciate everything you done for making my dress to be absolutely beautiful and perfect!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

Syuveybe Beytulova: I went to David’s Bridal in Rockville, in hopes to find my wedding dress and I said “Yes to the dress”. My stylist Ivy Biney was very knowledgeable, supportive and just amazing to work with! She made me a princess ! Ivy ensured that I got the “full package “experience by not only showing me dresses but also customizing my look with belts and vails. That way I wasn’t just simply trying dresses but much more !!! Thank you Ivy!

Rene' Pettit: What a fantastic experience! The vibe in the store was pure joy and happiness. The consultants were friendly, accommodating, and incredibly helpful. Our consultant Jennifer, was amazing. She respected our price point and found my daughter the perfect dress. Highly recommend!

Yanyu Li: I came to to the store to find a prom dress. Matena helped me find a dress. She helped me fit the dress so I can have a better idea about what size looks best. Matena was knowable about what styles and colors work with my body type. I felt like a princess! She is really friendly and personable. ❤️

Sandra Vickers: Absolutely wonderful alterations experience with Norma and Florencia! Strongly recommend asking for them. Truly, excellent customer service, patience with all that I requested, and they just went above and beyond that! I’m super excited for my wedding now and feeling very beautiful and ready!!! They also worked with my budget and gave different ideas when one idea was too pricey or I wasn’t sure yet. But yes, overall, very happy with their service!

Emily Molleur: Florencia completed the alterations on my wedding dress, and I am so thankful!! I met Florencia almost a year ago and told her I’d like the lace from my mom’s wedding dress added to her veil, and she made it a reality! I cannot wait to wear my mom’s veil with the lace from her dress in a few months. Also, when I went for alterations, I felt a little too much skin was showing and Florencia came up with the perfect solution that matches the dress and covers me up. She is amazing to work with! I had an amazing experience at David’s Bridal, and I would recommend DB and working with Florencia to any bride!

Angie Lundy: I walked into the Gtown store and was warmly greeted by Anica. It was my first time in the store and I was very impressed by Anica and her attentiveness. I told her the occasion and she was really good with picking out things that suited me. She then followed up with me via text which was very kind. The clothes itself were surprisingly very fitting to my petite frame. Because of the great customer service, you all have definitely gained me as a new customer

Tara Berman: Spoke to Cayla this morning to help with a new online purchase since the customer service is closed on weekends. She was knowledgeable, kind and went above and beyond to help with a price adjustment. Highly recommend!

Emily Hyson: Out of town shoppers BEWARE One extra star because I still love the clothes but the customer service/ return policy is completely laughable. If this review seems exhausting to read, imagine how exhausting it was to live it. I came to the Georgetown store while visiting town and was hoping to try on a dress that I’d seen online. Unfortunately, they only had the dress I wanted in one-two sizes larger than I am. The very friendly sales lady insisted that they could ship a smaller size to my home (in Denver) for free and if it didn’t work out that it would be easy/free to return. Well, that’s not really true. Low and behold, the dress came and didn’t completely fit. Totally fine - I knew it was 50/50. Online customer service: So then I went online to try to return the dress - but weirdly the order number kept coming up as not valid. Phone customer service: So then I called the customer service number on the website and a pre-recorded message said it was a 3 minute wait. I waited about 15 minutes and then hung up. Then I called back, “3 minute wait” again, and after a while I got a pre-recorded message saying no one was available. Then I called back and again, another “3 minute wait” and I requested a callback. 3 hours later someone called me back. She asked for my info and only found orders from over a year ago and very rudely and unapologetically explained that that was outside their return window. Only after I mentioned that I purchased something in the store did she tell me I’d have to call the store directly. Turns out even though the store had all of my information from my online account which was how they had my address and email in the first place, for some reason they keep orders separate between online and in store (why?!?) Store customer service: so then I call the store. They seem completely confused by my request to return something and took down my number to call me back in “a few minutes”. No call for most of the day. Called them back and was finally told that I would have to ship the item to the store at my expense. Oh and by the way it must be back within 14 days of delivery so I might want to ship it back immediately (LOL). And when I mentioned that I was told it would be free to return, just a “yeah that’s not true”. Great. So I just shipped the dress to the via USPS at a cost of $20 to me. The whole experience probably added up to over 2 hours of my time. My guess is if they process the return at all, they will add some sort of fee on top of it and I won’t see my $440 any time soon. I’ll update once everything is sorted. If you live near the store you probably will never experience this circus, but I have no idea how Alice + Olivia could stand behind such an asinine policy that not even employees at the company seem to have a grasp on.

Andrea Toogood: Perfect place to go if you are looking for something fun& adorable to wear to an event! I will definitely be back! Cayla was absolutely amazing- great customer service 💕

Chunmei Gao: When I bought the clothes on sale, No one notified me it is the final sale and I cannot return. Now I have to find something else within 1 month to exchange otherwise I have to stuck with it. I will NOT go there ever!!!!!

Lames S: Dee was sooo helpful best costumer care!

Faith Brown: I literally just had the best shopping experience ever. We were greeted at the door. Our consultant Nicole made this 1 hour trip worth it. She brought us so many amazing flattering options. She was very patient and knowledgeable. I found my bridesmaid dress. I will recommend others to this location.

Sham S: Had a great & memorable experience, especially as it was my first bridal dress appointment! Alyssa was absolutely wonderful! She made me try different dresses to figure out which styles I liked with so much joy and excitement. She also gave out helpful tips as she recently just got married too. Definitely would recommend her!

Michelle Hyde: I worked with stylist Lisa Hall and she was amazing. My daughter and I needed to find a dress for my sisters wedding and I needed to find a wedding dress, on short notice, for several valid and challenging reasons which would continue to be issues. Lisa listened to my concerns and was able to help me find dress that made me feel comfortable and made suggestions on how we could overcome the challenges that were specific to my situation. I was concerned that we would not be able to find a nice dress on such short notice, but she did. It has been a while since we have a attended a formal event, but she made us feel very comfortable about the process and addressed all of our concerns. I was also happy as my daughter found a dress and she hates dress shopping. So it was a win all around!!

Lauren Owens: Susie was amazing! After a few try on sessions with other retailers, I finally found the one and said yes to the dress! The entire team was incredibly helpful and I had a great time trying on. Susie was helpful with showing different options on bustle, straps, bridal belts, and shoes. Thank you, Susie! As a note - there is a great selection of bridal rompers and other white attire for other wedding events like engagement parties and receptions — which is super helpful and good to know, since I’ll be having a reception at a later date, after my micro wedding ceremony. Everything is reasonably priced and I was WAY below my budget — so I’ll have more to spend on the honeymoon 😊

Emily Doxtator: Highly recommend! This was my first ever bridal shopping and it could not have been better. The store had a huge variety of styles and i was able to try on many different styles. Christine was my stylist and she was so attentive, helpful, and creative. She really listened to my feedback and continued to provide different dresses that matched my desired style. Her expertise also brought new perspective that I would not have ever considered. She was both incredibly professional and kind. Thanks to Christine and David’s Bridal for making this experience a truly wonderful one!!

Yaquelin Lemus hernandez: I book here my 2 wedding dresses and my bridesmaids they all buy the dresses from here as well. Everything went great until yesterday when I went to pick up one of my wedding dress with the alterations department my dress WAS NOT THERE, THEY LOST MY DRESS!!! i was there since 1pm till 3pm and they couldn’t find my dress. The alterations manager besides that they couldn’t find my dress she didn’t said anything , she didn’t offer me no other option, she only told me that she had been looking for my dress since the morning and she couldn’t find it. Few minutes later Emily the manager started helping her and she came by to talk to me about the dress and offer me options to get another dress even though I needed the dress for the same day of the pick up, I appreciate her stepping in and helping me. I was not able to get another dress because it was not what I wanted. But I appreciate her trying to help Me . I left the store really disappointed, mad and sad, with no dress for my photography session that I had that day , my hair was done already. I just had to pick up my dress and head to my make up appointment after it was my photography session. I lost all that due to alterations department losing my dress. I didn’t make any drama or any problems while I was there , I didn’t yell or cuss any body. I only took my self and my money back to the car and left with no dress. But after this I will never be going back there for another alterations appointment. What happened with my wedding dress was so wrong my wedding is in one day. And now I have to look for a new dress. I do not recommend the alterations department from this location:

Angela Baker: I had my wedding dress altered at Nazemi bridal- Tannaz and her team did a beautiful job. My dress was intricate with beading and multiple layers making it a more challenging alteration. Tannaz explained to me thoroughly what would be done to make the necessary alterations and offered a variety of options including various bustles. In the end, I chose to not get a bustle because of cost, and Tannaz added on a loop for ease of holding the train while walking around, which worked great. I had cups changed, straps shortened, and the length shortened. I had three fittings which started about 2 months before my wedding date. My dress fit absolutely perfectly. Overall, the service and tailoring were perfect! I highly recommend for bridal alterations.

Asal: What an amazing experience! If you’re a bride to be in DC /MD/VA area ,you really won’t find a better bridal salon than NAZEMI Bridal.They’re so friendly and professional,The environment is so beautiful and peaceful.I would 100% recommend NAZEMI bridal to anyone!

Nora B: I had a wonderful experience with Tannaz and her team at Nazemi Bridal. I had a fitting in May, June, and July for my August wedding, and she was professional, kind, and helpful. Her shop is beautiful and she knows exactly what alterations to make to help you look your best. I had no idea how to bustle a dress but she showed me a few options to choose between. We ended up going with a french bustle that had nine ribbons, but she made it easy for me to learn how to put them all together. My dress came back completely clean with no visible seams, and she also gave me advice for steaming and pressing the dress before the big day. I got so many compliments on my dress and felt absolutely amazing in it all night.

Jess Cromeek: I got my wedding dress altered at Nazemi Bridal, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! Tannaz and staff did an absolutely beautiful job, and expertly took in the dress after a third fitting without charge because I had lost weight, and what I had already paid included that additional alteration. Tannaz with was very responsive via phone and email, and was absolutely wonderful to work with. On my first visit I asked their opinion on my shapewear, and Tannaz very kindly let me know that the shapewear that was sold to me to wear under my wedding dress was too dark in color, and created some extra skin in the back. She advised me on what shapewear I should purchase instead, and she was 100% right (she also saved me about $100!). The store itself is so clean and beautiful, I felt very comfortable that my dress was there. They are pricey, but wedding dress alterations in general is pricey if you want peace of mind that your dress is safe, and your seamstress has experience in specifically altering wedding dresses, which is a particular craft. Tannaz and staff truly know what they are doing! Every penny was well spent, and I ended up getting my dress steamed there as well. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day, and I am so grateful to Tannaz and staff for the wonderful work they did.

Danielle Gray: I called them to ask about their availability and the woman who answered said, “we are closed today”. I then asked what the usual weekly hours are and then she hung up on me. I called right back (just in case the line had only cut off) and it rang and rang and then went to the voicemail. Not very welcoming :-(

Lara Pagano: Incredible! They were amazing and worked quickly to make a bustle change. Their work is of high quality. I highly recommend them for alterations.

Sara Khan: Absolutely love working with Nausheen for my bridal outfits! She did a fabulous job at making 2 dresses completely custom made for me.

Ahmer Ibby Ali: The owner Nausheen is a very sweet person, showed me Kurtas for men via FaceTime & sent me pictures through text, met up with her a night before EID, during Covid at 9:30pm, had everything ready for me, & the quality of the Kurtas are actually great.

Sruthi R: Great selection of clothes and owner takes custom orders as well. The quality of the work on the clothes are good. Fast and clear communication. A great place to buy clothes from despite the high prices.

Nauveera Khan: Beautiful collection at reasonable prices, wonderful experience with trying on clothes and an absolute gem of a person!

Kristine Sohn: Hunter and Brittany did an excellent job!!! They provided excellent customer service. They were attentive and helped assist me with finding a dress for my best friends wedding. I was a bit anxious going in because I had no idea what I was looking for and was torn between two colors. Hunter found the perfect dress that complimented my figure in a appropriate way and in the color the the bride desired. The dress also arrived a week and a half early!! Brittany was fantastic and very attentive in helping me find the right shoes to match the dress well. Making sure that not only did I look my best but also that I was comfortable! The store was organized and very clean. All the lights were on and it was well lit. They even had the hangers spaced <3 The manager was also very attentive and checking with everyone to make sure all was right and everyone was happy and being properly taken care of. I highly recommend this David’s Bridal for your event!

Alexandra Lewald: Cecelia and Aster are AMAZING! Pamela the manager was fantastic and kind as well! My wedding was postponed twice due to Covid and last minute we decided to go through with it this year. I needed to get my dress altered again or sadly purchase a new one. These two went above and beyond without an appointment to get me an alteration in time prior to the wedding!!! Kind, smart and super helpful. Highly recommend this location and these associates.

Jamila Abdulkadir: These ladies were super helpful! Angela and Maria were very patient and helped me and my daughter pick out dresses to try on for my friends wedding! 👰‍♀️ The store is also super clean and just has a warm and friendly feel thanks to great management.

Mari Murphy: Had a wonderful experience selecting my daughter’s prom dress at David’s Bridal. They had a good selection of dresses and sizes. She found a dress that she absolutely loved. Her stylist, Chelsey, was very attentive and helpful. She eagerly answered all our questions about the dresses and alterations. Overall, the experience at David’s Bridal made my daughter feel like a princess !

sonja veney: I came in with my daughter to look for her wedding dress. Yourgelys was great! She was so attentive. She asked us a few questions about her likes and we were off. Within 20 minutes of our starting we had the perfect dress. We are so pleased with the service! I will be back for my Mother of the Bride dress!

crystal torney: Me. Aster is so amazing! She has been taking such great care of us with all of our alterations. She has done such amazing things with mom and to her wedding dress. She is so kind and takes her time and really cares. She makes the experience one of a kind and personal. If you go to Davids Bridal make sure to go to the Bowie MD location and ask for Ms. Aster

Kathleen Smith: Angie W. was a wonderful help with Prom Dress shopping for my daughter. She was very professional, but relatable to a teen shopper. She was quite knowledgeable and suggested a few more fitted styles that which were just beautiful, on. This store was well stocked with many sizes to try. Angie also helped a great deal by suggesting small alterations to optimize each dress. Definitely worth the drive!

Chelsea Mendonca: White Swan Bridal was easily the best bridal boutique I’ve been to. The staff were pleasant and extremely helpful. The wedding gowns there are beyond gorgeous. I found the dress of my dreams there and the wonderful women who assisted me Moia and Anna very extremely helpful without being pushy. They also managed to get my dress altered within a day on a holiday. The seamstress was very kind and did a wonderful job. Overall I’m extremely happy with the quality of dresses and the customer service provided. Highly recommend.

Kristy & Jack Roszel: The women at Swan Bridal are amazing! My sister had a dress emergency created by a less experienced shop. Not only did they offer her multiple alternatives to her original dress but they went above an beyond to help fix the original dress she loved. They not only fixed the issues but made the dress more perfect then we could even imagine. Thank you for saving the day with the wedding being only 2 weeks away. Swan Bridal has a beautiful selection of dresses but more importantly they represent everything a business should be putting the customer first event step of the way.

Heather Lockhart: This shop was the best dress shopping experience by far! I went to several shops prior to White Swan and then scheduled an hour appointment just to see if I had any interest in what they offered. The consultant had an idea of a couple dresses that would fit my preference within my budget. We started off in the clearance section (by my request) and found a few to show off to my closest relatives. My decision was tied between two of the most stunning lace dresses, I ended up running over my appointment by two hours! The owner, Mila, was so kind and allowed her consultant to continue to accommodate me. Then lo and behold I said yes to the dress!! Mila was so sweet to offer my family water and treats while they patiently waited. She also gave an unexpected discount to my hair piece and veil. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted my train to be shaped like and Mila gave me her honest opinion while still allowing an open mind. After I made my final decision, I sent the dress out for alterations (which came back right on time with more time to spare). I was very pleased with her knowledge and friendly relationship with clients. After my wedding I came back to get my dress preserved professionally. I had a few tears in my lace and stains at the base, which is pretty normal post-wedding. Mila reassuring that this was not a problem and will be fixed. The preservation of my dress came back like it had never been warn. I truly enjoyed my experience because of her and her team! I recommend this place to my friends, family and any future brides-to-be!

A&C Tuma: My wife and I both purchased our wedding dresses at White Swan. They were incredibly attentive and helped us pick out the perfect dresses to fit our very different styles. White Swan was incredibly flexible with our timelines and did a phenomenal job with all of the alterations. We can’t recommend White Swan enough!

Megan Guidi: White Swan Bridal is definitely a hidden gem! My photographer (Emily Alyssa Photography) recommended I try their shop after a series of striking out elsewhere and feeling a little defeated in my search. We had a 4-month turnaround time from engagement to wedding and I had been turned away consistently from other shops for the tight deadline (understandable, but discouraging nonetheless) WSB showed me a selection of dresses that would work within my timeline AND for a great price! I walked out the SAME DAY from their sample sale with a $500 gown that I loved more than even the $3000 gowns I had tried elsewhere! They also did my alterations in-house and did a wonderful job (added bones, some elastic, cups, and altered my veil to add a bustle). I had a great experience from start to finish and I’m looking forward to going back to them after the big day for cleaning and preservation. If you’re a bride feeling overwhelmed with the dress shopping experience, head to White Swan Bridal! They’ll make it fun, quick, and easy to find something you love. (I should also add, I came here completely alone to shop (my bridal party lived too far away to come with me) and the staff did a great job of offering supportive feedback throughout the shopping process!)
