Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this business. I was genuinely excited to support a woman-owned,…read moreBlack-owned family business on the National Harbor. I even referred several close friends and family members to the House of JonLei Atelier because their dresses are truly FABULOUS unique designs you won't find anywhere else. The customer service experience starts off wonderfully. You can easily spend hours in the salon trying on dresses and chatting with the owner, Gigi, who has an incredible eye for fit and for selecting the perfect gown to complement your body type. She's truly phenomenal in that regard. My concern arises later in the process. You may find the perfect dress ideal size, color, and style on your first visit. But after waiting months for your custom order to arrive, you might discover that the dress no longer fits the same. When my gown came in, it was too large and required over $300 in alterations. It was disappointing, especially because the original sample fit like a glove. While the dress itself was stunning unique, flattering, and worth the excitement the unexpected alteration costs were an unwelcome surprise. Since all sales are final, you're left with no option for return or exchange. I was left confused about how the ordered dress could differ so much from the one I tried on. Sadly, I've since learned that others in my circle have experienced similar issues with unexpected fees. It's disheartening because I wanted to love everything about this experience. I truly hope your visit is smooth, your dress fits perfectly, and that you leave feeling amazing just go in fully informed. #GoodLuck

Communication here is nonexistent unless you show up in person and even then sometimes the door is locked during business hours. I understand that we all have personal issues going on but at the end of the day this is a business and I will never buy from here again. For the staff understand to not make promises if you know you have no control of the shipping. Don't falsely lead a customer on just for a purchase. The only time I was happy was when I said yes to the dress sadly.

I love stopping in at 3 Sisters (you guessed it, actually owned by three sisters). It's a two-level boutique of fashion for women that ranges from accessories to formal wear and everyday wear. The items they curate are stylish, timeless, and lovely. They've got something for everyone. The prices are incredibly affordable. I mean it's a boutique with a luxury feel in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the country and you can walk out paying the same prices you would at a big box place like TJ Maxx. The difference is that at 3 Sisters you're getting personalized service and higher quality items while supporting a local, women-owned business. Love, love, love.

If you're looking to add a couple staples to your wardrobe, but this would be a cute place to stop at if you happen to be in the area. The pricing was actually pretty reasonable.

There may have been a stray XXL, but I don't really recall. So I'm not sure it's plus size friendly in the long run. When we walked in, we were not really greeted and nobody really helped us the entire time we were in the store walking around. It did not give me warm fuzzies.

The groom, best man, and bride's dad received MANY compliments on their tuxes. Very handsome, indeed! I've recommended Abbie at Tuxedo by Sarno to several people and everyone who've used Sarno since have been extremely happy. Thank you, Abbie! February 2023: Great value, exceptional customer service, and convenient. Abbi is awesome; we found our tuxedo place! They have a wide selection and good quality tuxedos for every occasion. They rent and sell tuxes and any accessories you could possibly need. We rented the tux, shirt, accessories, and shoes. Abbi's experienced so the measurements were accurate - no adjustments were necessary. Email/text reminders made the entire process efficient. Dressed well, we were relaxed and had a wonderful time at the event. February 2024: We rented from Sarno again for another gala and had an even better experience! Abbi's customer service was awesome again - that's why we keep going back. Pick up and drop off were convenient and it was a good quality tuxedo at a reasonable price. The fit was perfect and all accessories were included and correct as ordered. Hubby looked great and we enjoyed the event with confidence. Very professional service and an overall great experience!

For the more fun part of the story, in less than a week, he was able to tailor a suit for me and find a proper undershirt to wear to a wedding. I'm sure he gets these kinds of pressured requests far too often, and I really appreciate him coming through for me.

I would not recommend Dash's to anyone. My experience has been disorganized, dishonest,…read morediscriminatory, and unprofessional. I was initially sized for a custom tux shirt early June 2024 for my wedding on July 26, 2024. I paid $300 for the shirt. The shirt was not ready until August 8 and the shirt did not fit correctly. I knew there was a chance the shirt wouldn't be ready in time, however, I was told by Dash's that it was possible. I ended up purchasing a shirt from Brooks Brothers for my wedding that fit perfectly without any alterations needed. There was a major issue with the upper button/section of the shirt that you wouldn't expect from a custom shirt. I took the shirt back to Dash's on October 12 and the owner Victor assured me that they would get it fixed. On November 2, I returned to the store after being told the shirt was ready. When I arrived at the store, Victor told me there was a mistake and the shirt wasn't ready. He said they would have to send it back to the manufacturer. I did not hear back from the store until January 8, 2025 - in which I received a text letting me know that the shirt was ready and that they've been trying to get in contact with me. Prior to this, I never received a call or text with an update. Nonetheless, I proceeded to go back to the store to pickup the shirt, only for Victor to tell me it wasn't ready. He told me that there's a piece he was looking for on amazon and other sites that he couldn't find. He went on to ask me to look for that piece as well. Then he alluded to my height as being an issue. Mind you, Victor is an inch taller than me. Not only that, it was a custom shirt. So that's a poor excuse. At this point, I am frustrated because I paid $300 for a custom shirt that wasn't done correctly. Till this day, I have yet to receive the shirt. I've requested a refund and Victor refuses to give me one. His reasoning - "they are a small business." There has been no attempt to make things right by resizing for a shirt, or offering me anything to make up for the mishap. I've attached two pictures showing the issue with the shirt.

He has also fixed couple of my husband's suits that were ill fitting and now they fit perfect! Recently he custom made a sports coat for my husband.
