Absolutely as good as it gets. I have been returning to Gossip for YEARS! I adore the shop's selection and I can always find something unique and amazing. My freshman year of high school I wore a blue and white matching scalloped set for the first day. I also wore a white, lace, body-con dress from there for homecoming. The following year I bought a darling blue grid dress. The neckline was a little low for me, but the incredible owner helped me to find a bandeau to make it school appropriate. A rivet on the dress unfortunately came off after the first wear, but the owner was kind enough to fix it - free of charge! I also wore a white dress with lace top and chiffon bottom to prom that year (underclassmen are required to wear short dresses). For my junior year I returned and left with an awesome collection of casual clothes. I had a cropped red sweater, beige turtleneck, and suede army green dress. All of this in addition to the gorgeous jewelry I've picked up over time there too. My mom can normally find something she likes there too and we have different styles and wear different sizes. Overall, Gossip provides a very personal experience. Even if you don't find something you like, you leave with the feeling that the owner truly and genuinely cares for every customer that walks through her doors. read more

Rude owner. I paid extra for the customizable box that came with three items I would even consider wearing. A sweater as part of a summer box. Crop tops when asked not to send crop. Nothing that is on website. Cheap junk sent instead. read more

Box looked like it had fallen off the truck. The items inside were nice but one sweater seemed to be a irregular as only one seam was inside out and it ran down the front of the sweater. I wear a 3X and these items were running really small so I couldn't wear them but my size 2X cousin was happy with them. Overall I would recommend just size up if plus size. I would have but 3X was the highest. read more

I wanted to support small business but the mystery box was a huge disappointment. Nothing like the cute items on their website.

I got the mystery box. there isn't a single item in it that I would wear. save your money on the mystery box. the cute things they show online are not in the box. read more

The inventory is nice, cool, and different. Always find lovely items. My favorite is a denim jacket that has been my staple for a while now. So versatile. read more

Since today's NoVa Yelp Weekly was focused on Crystal City, I feel this a good time to write this review. I also feel like Gossip should have been in newsletter, and you'll see why, in case you already can't figure it out from other reviews. Gossip has been on my list for years, but honestly, the parking situation in Crystal City scares me, so I've been somewhat avoiding it. I'm so glad I finally went and so mad that I didn't visit earlier. This boutique is an awesome array of clothing, jewelry, and other accessories. Anytime I walk into a store like this, I'm always worried the staff is going to be uppity (though it's rarely happened), and I can tell you that is definitely not the case here. The woman who worked with me was super friendly and knowledgeable about her products. She picked out the absolute cutest top for an event for me. And she was great with all her suggestions and advice. I wish I had gotten her name. The jewelry and accessories are in the front, and then the clothing and shoes, along with dressing rooms, are in the back. In addition to on-trend tops, bottoms, dresses, and outerwear, they have basic camis and t-shirts, along with some foundation options. I was slightly overwhelmed at first, not because the selection is huge (though it's definitely not small), but due to the layout, I didn't know where to look. Dresses are in the middle; tops and bottoms on the sides (mostly). I say the pieces are a mix of fashionista and vintage-ish. Not sure how else to describe the styles, but if you know my style, I can find pieces here, and if you know Sahar's style, she can find pieces here, and we're a bit different when it comes to fashion. Their website shows only a fraction of Gossip's actual offerings. The prices are quite reasonable. I cannot wait to return, and will hopefully have the chance to go often, as they get new items frequently. read more

Such a wonderful boutique, and Kathi the owner is absolutely fabulous! She helped me pick out some wonderful gifts for my wife and mother.

I absolutely LOVE this place. It's my go-to spot for West Coast style on the East Coast. I love the clothing and the staff/owner is super friendly and nice. The quality of the clothing never disappoints. If you are looking for style come here the staff will help get you into the now. I have also picked up a few pieces of jewelry that have never broke, no color change and are very durable. read more

Every time I wear an outfit purchased at Gossip on a first date, I get asked out on a second date. Coincidence?! I think not, as I am not that spectacular of a conversationalist and have a tendency to embarrass myself! Everything in the store is shipped from Los Angeles, so there is a flavor to the clothing that is edgier and different from anything else you'll find in the area. The store is small, and the employees (particularly the super sweet owner, Kathryn) are always on hand to help you put together a signature look for whatever occasion you're going to. I find the personal attention you get here refreshing. Also, with the exception of one or two fancy items in the store, everything is less than $100 -- a bargain as far as I'm concerned! The only thing that sucks about Gossip? The fact that I live down the street from it and feel compelled to spend every cent of my paycheck whenever they change their window display. The clothes are just too tempting. read more

This is a wonderful little clothing boutique in Crystal City/ Aurora Highlands. Near 23rd and Eads, it's teeny-tiny (some walk-in closets are larger!) and chock full of unique women's clothing at affordable prices. Nothing's over $100, and the sale rack items average $20. I got a red chiffon party dress for $20 here yesterday and was greatly tempted by a $15 zebra-print scarf. Or the white scarf with the pink polka dots.... If your style is conservative rather than colorful/ ostentatious, you won't like this place. Gossip's buyer picks up bargains from the West Coast and clearly has a passion for bright prints, chiffon/layers, color, and unusual textures. The store has beautiful, flamboyant clothes and cute accessories at rock bottom prices. The selection is small, but the fashion is high at Gossip. The clothing quality is not superb (i.e. you'll find less silk and more polyester), but you get what you pay for. Service is friendly but unobtrusive. As good as it gets. I strongly recommend. read more

I am little late in writing my review for Gossip. However I thought this place needed to be called out from what I saw when I visited on 4/1/15. I had passed the store several times while visiting the Fashion Center (above it) and was curious. First of all I have to commend the owners ability to price several items at what I would consider reasonable prices (and I like to shop at thrift stores so that says something). If you have ever been to a "boutique" you know that the limited supply of women's clothing can range anywhere from $100.00 to $1,000.00. I was pleasantly surprised to find pants and dresses from $30.00 to $60.00 and several of Gossip's jewelry pieces which ranged in style from old glamour to hipster from $10.00 to $40.00. The store has a dressing room but overall feels a little cramped. It wasn't a big deal because it doesn't seem to get a lot of foot traffic at once (so there was plenty of space to move around). The only reason I cannot give Gossip is a higher rating is that I am a size 14 and found my size (although available) in very limited supply. In conclusion it was worth the visit (picked up a pair of clip on earnings for $10.00) and would visit more frequently if it were closer to home. read more

Gossip is a fantastic little boutique on South 23rd Street in Arlington, nestled between the row of restaurants and bars. While it is a very small store, it has quite a lot of variety. It reminds me of a rich best friend's closet - it has a little bit of everything. Came to check out some summerdresses, and the store probably had about 50 different styles. Most dresses hovered around $40 - a good deal in my book. There are also purses, jewelry, belts, tanks, spanx, and leggings. There's a good variety of casual clothes and clothes for going out - whether it be to a nice dinner or a club. The owner is very friendly and helpful - when the dress I had was sewn a bit crookedly, she went in the back to find another one for me to try on. When the size was a little small, she searched again and found it in my size. She was very enthusiastic and made me happy to be a customer there. I don't find myself in the area very often, so I don't take advantage of Gossip as much as I should. Make a stop the next time you head to Crystal City Sports Pub - you'll be glad you did! read more

Heck Yeah!!! I just moved to the area and when I spotted this store on a run. I came home and read the reviews and went back today and was VERY pleased. All the reviews are correct. They have super cute stuff and the prices are very reasonable! And the people that work there are awesome! You feel like you are friends with them and we don't even know each others names. haha I ended up walking out with 2 pairs of pants, shirt and pair of shoes for $60! Not bad at all. I will absolutely 100% be checking them out on a regular basis. Especially since I'm so close to them. Keep it up ladies! read more

This store was a real find. I'm always trying to think of new things to wear that are not the same ole same ole. I mean you can really only buy so many things from the Loft and Banana Republic before you start looking like everyone else. This store sells things that you can't find everywhere and the staff is great too. I love that the store has a little bit of everything and it's ideally located next to a couple of sports bars..makes for a great halftime break. I love love love the website too. It makes it easy to just check up on what's new before I head over there..great way to keep in the loop read more

For anyone who has complained that Gossip is too small....they've expanded! Apparently it was back in the summer of 2011, which means I've stayed away too long. But they now have 3 sizeable rooms, with either 3 or 4 dressing rooms. Go check it out! read more

Stopped in for the first time today. I wasn't anticipating on getting anything, but walked out with two new, super cute wrap dresses. The woman working was very helpful and not pushy or annoying. There was a fairly large selection for such a small place. I would say that for the size, there's quite a bit of clothing. I feel like that can make a shopping environment too hectic and you miss things that you might have ordinarily really liked. I saw some really cute jewelry and some other odds and ends (leggings, purses, etc) that I'll probably stop back in for. Overall, it was a nice find. Nothing to over the top, but reasonably priced clothing and accessories. Will be back! read more

This is one of my favorite stores!! Everytime I go in I find at least a bag full of stuff to walk out with. The owner is the best and will help you find anything you are looking for. Countless times I have gone by on my way out to dinner and found the perfect thing to change into! She also has great cute comfy clothes. And the price Is always right nothing is over $95 in the store (that's why she keeps it so small). I love this place! read more

Really nice store with unusual finds. I walked in to kill some time while on 23rd street and to walk off the atracon I had at MIO on Vermont Ave, and walked out with some nice finds for UNDER 60! Lots and lots of funky accessories, nice tops, reasonably priced tanks, super friendly attendant. A very pleasant surprise during an evening stroll up 23rd! read more

If there were more stars... I would absolutely rate Gossip higher. I can't believe I haven't reviewed it earlier. This is a great boutique. I have been shopping here for almost three years now and have no complaints. Kathy, the owner, is the best! She is a great stylist, always taking care of her customers, will never let you leave with anything that doesn't look great on you, which is something you would never get in any of those stores at the mall. Clothes, accessories... everything is just great here. There is something for everyone and everywhere. You can find everything from tights, jeans, underwear to cocktail dresses, wedding appropriate outfits, and work outfits, shoes, purses. The list goes on and on. The best part is that there are only 6 of each item and you know you are not going to end up looking like everyone else. And price vs. quality is awesome. I have to admit that I was very surprised to see someone rate it with two stars because of the return policy, as there is a sign stating the return policy which is impossible to miss when you are paying. I love love love this place!! read more

My teenage daughter and I always have so much fun shopping at Gossip. We always come home feeling like we had a nice outing, when normally I don't enjoy shopping! The owner and staff are wonderful - they are personal shoppers assisting you with selections. The clothes are reasonably priced and fashionable. If you haven't been to Gossip, you need to go! - Shirah read more

I love this boutique tucked away on 23rd in Crystal City. So many unique and beautiful pieces. From jewlery, purses and clothing. Great shop and customer services is awesome. read more

Gossip - Women's Clothing Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Fabulous and affordable little boutique! Patricia was super nice and attentive. She curates a smart collection of seasonally appropriate, well cut clothes without the extortionate pricing of the big brand names. She found lots of perfect things to help my wife look and feel great. This place is an absolute gem. read more

This store is great! I was home visiting my parents for Thanksgiving and stopped in here on a whim. I ended up with two dresses, a skirt, a pair of boots and a bracelet! Everything is so reasonably priced and I'm happily wearing all of my new outfits this week. It's a great place to go for gifts too. The owner was very nice and helpful without being pushy at all. read more

Gossip on 23rd is the best place to shop.. ever. The variety and quality of the merchandise is great! Not to mention the price is always RIGHT! Not cheap, but not too expensive either! If I can grab a sweater under $30, i think that's a steal! If you're lucky enough to enter when the owner is working, you will be back just for the encounter. She's the sweetest! Come here and you won't be disappointed! read more

Discovered this quaint boutique when I was in DC this past week. Although it is small, Gossip offers trendy clothing at affordable and reasonable prices. The owner was in there when I came in, and she was really nice. Compared to other specialty boutiques I have been in, it's smaller, but what they do have to make up for being smaller is cute selections of tops, dresses, and skinny jeans. Lots of color and print pieces that are hard to find at reasonable prices. Beforehand, I had been to Pentagon City Mall, Georgetown, 18th Street, and 7th and F Street, and to my disappointment, I was not impressed. I found that many of the shops I had been to were ridiculously expensive and overpriced. I have worked in the boutique sector before so I am familiar with the different lines most of these stores sell--trust me, they are NOT worth $150-$300. Sometimes, things are worth paying more money for, but if you're looking for casual everyday wear that is unique and at affordable prices, Gossip is a good place to go to. The only thing I wish they had more of a selection on were tops and dresses with some sleeves. Other than that, I recommend you give Gossip a shot. read more

This was such a fun shop. They don't feature any plus sized clothing but I didn't really find that shocking. They had lots of jewelry and baubles to pick from though. I struck up a conversation with the owner who was exceedingly friendly also. I found several pieces of jewelry for myself as well as a few souvenirs for friends. read more

I love this place!! The owner is such a sweetheart, I could stay in there for hours and try on everything. The clothes are very reasonably priced, they are trendy (but not too trendy) and very cute. She gets in shipments regularly so it's never the same store twice - I try to go in at least every other week to check out the new stuff. read more

This shop is great! They have really cute dresses/tops/jewelry at really good prices. It feels like a high end boutique but the prices are very reasonable. And the owner is so sweet and fun, and so helpful. If you ask for help or her opinion, she is right there to provide it for you but is not pushy AT ALL like typical boutiques. I highly reccommend stopping in if you need a last minute cute and affordable weekend dress, or a ton of new stuff, its definitely very worthwhile to stop in. Also, great prices on sale items (like ten bucks for cute dresses/jeans/etc.!). read more

This boutique is unique not only because the owner is fabulous, but because they support local causes, believe in all people, especially women, and have a vibe of love and friendship. It sells clothing exhibits the height of fashion that is comfortable and not cost prohibitive for the quality. I tell everyone I meet about this store. And a special secret, the owner also makes and sells the best cookies ever. She is love inside and out. read more

This is an awesome clothing shop! It's become a neighborhood institution. Affordable, fashionable...did I say awesome? The owner, Katherine, and her team are the bomb. She and her staff are your trusted friends and will point blank tell you when something doesn't work and are skilled at making you look your best. I don't have to worry I'm going to walk out of there looking like the fashion-challenged person I actually am. Nothing pushy, just honest input and help finding something YOU love. If you don't love it, Katherine will tell you to keep looking. Favorite shop. LOVE IT. read more

I am soooooo excited to have found this store... While the store is on the smaller side, it has soooo many wonderful clothes, shoes, bags, glasses, and everything else you could imagine! The owner Katherine is GREAT! I did have a lot of time to shop but I did pick up a cute purse hooker... But I will be returning in the next few weeks to get a purchase a few items! The best place about this store is that there is no item over $100! And you don't have to worry about seeing someone with your shirt out because she only buys 6 of each item she has in the store! Also, I asked her if she had a certain type of ring... she didn't but she did say the next time she was in Cali she would make sure to pick some up! Now THAT is good customer service! And I will def be back! read more

The cutest boutique and only of the only in the DC area where you can actually find unique, interesting items and not spent a fortune. I buy something every time I walk in to the store, and I've gotten a really cute dress, several sweaters, and tons of accessories there. The owner is really nice and helpful, and not pushy at all. read more

I have so much love for this place! If you have never been here, go. You will not regret it. I thought I didn't like shopping anymore until I went to Gossip. It can be dangerous haha. This boutique offers so much more than just clothes on a rack. The owner, Katherine (and her staff), is absolutely amazing. Her eye for fashion is impeccable. She would rather have you walk out empty handed than with something you don't love, but I honestly doubt you will be able to walk out empty handed. She knows how to make a gal look and feel beautiful. So what are you waiting for? Don't take my word for it, go check it out! Seriously. read more

Were else can I go where the ladies know my wife and what she likes. This is special becasue I can look like the MAN! Gossip on 23rd puts the right gift in my hands for my wife. It helps that my favorite bar is acorss the street! I highly recommend this grassroots boutique for anyone! read more

I went in during a lunch break because I was in dire need for a wedding outfit. I'd ordered two dresses online and neither fit right, and Tess was so helpful in picking out dresses/jewelry in a pinch. Since it was a Thursday mid-day and only one other person was in the store, it felt like we were friends shopping together and I walked out with an amazing $42 dress that I can not only wear out, but to work, a necklace, earrings, a ring and a slimmer. I'll be going here on my lunch break many times to come! read more

terrible shop owner, rude and offensive. the quality of the garments are terrible. will never go back or recommend it to anyone i know

This place was a great find! It's somewhat of a Forever 21 but locally owned and has much cuter and more practical merchandise. I am always looking for something "different" to wear in my wardrobe and it's hard to keep my closet stocked with name brand clothing. Here you can find chic pieces and for the right price. I never leave empty handed from here and always wear these clothes more than my J.Crew, etc. The owner is super friendly and outgoing and doesn't force any purchases on you at all. Their accessories are cute, but the earrings I bought broke halfway through the first time I wore them. This is disappointing, but they cost about $6 so I wasn't torn up about it or anything. read more

Awesome staff!!! Always a treat to come here. Giving it four stars instead of five because the clothes are geared toward very slender women. Would be nice to see longer hemlines and some options for sizes 8-10. read more

I flew in to D.C to see family, shop and have fun, I yelped Gossip and found it easily! What an attractive store with very beautiful clothes and accessories. I was concerned by first glance that the shop girls would be stiff or dry. I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely the ladies are, creative ,honest and helpful. This very unique, affordable boutique had a Parisian flair. I will come back just to shop with them. Muah! Thank you ladies for the priceless finds! read more
