My fiancé & I went into this store on a Sunday afternoon. We just happen to be a mixed couple…read more Nobody asked us if they could help but gave us dirty looks as we walked around like we were trash with no money. I felt bad leaving this establishment.

Such a cute store with really great staple pieces. I noticed there seem to be a theme for colors…read moreand it was a lot of neutrals and browns and blacks and creams. 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. The were some items that were a little bit higher than I would have normally spent if I was purchasing anything. I also noticed their sizes did not really go past extra large. 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.

Honestly love coming here!! The dresses are good quality and there's so many beautiful options…read more Downstairs you have more casual cute chic wear. Upstairs there's more elegant fancy dresses. I got two pink dresses and one white. I need to take a picture in the white dress still

Absolutely as good as it gets. I have been returning to Gossip for YEARS! I adore the shop's…read moreselection 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.

For the reviewers who have given this place anything below a 4, I cannot really see why they would…read more Outside of a long line that I did not want to wait in, this location was great. Your normal Nordstrom Rack store, full of luxury items priced at non-luxury numbers. I can also see, because of that, why the line was as long as it was. I was also torn between giving 5 and 4 stars but opted on 5 after the staff was not only engaged with who was checking out, but additional staff was on the salesfloor assisting with either that or restocking in between.

This was a poor customer experience…read more I purchased a suit and returned it. At the register, the cashier(Lynne) admitted that she did not scan the jacket during the original purchase. That error is the reason the jacket was not on the receipt. Instead of correcting the situation, the store refunded only the pants, kept both items, and sent me out with nothing. At no point was I given a clear option before the transaction was processed. I spoke with the store manager, Alexandra, who repeated policy but did not take ownership of the fact that this situation was caused by a cashier error. I am not asking for anything free. I am expecting a reasonable resolution when a store makes a mistake. Leaving with no merchandise and no solution is not acceptable.

I came in worried that I wouldn't have the right outfit for an upcoming event. My worries were…read morequickly settled with the friendly sales associate (I'm so bad with names, sorry!) who grabbed me a few items and showed me to a fitting room. I was done within 5 minutes, and couldn't be happier. Beautiful clothing, for every age group. I was really impressed. I will make sure to "forget to pack an outfit" again next time I'm in DC!

If I could give them zero stars I would. The dresses here are not my style but that was ok, they…read moreare someone else's style and that is fine. However, I came here looking for a dress for my mom for my wedding and she tried on dresses anyway because we were there and had an appointment. we worked with Annick and I cannot stress enough how much I do not recommend working with her. I showed her other dresses we had ordered for my mom from other places to get an idea of what we were looking at and she insulted the dresses. I was more than polite and open to options even though i did not like anything up until this point but it was so unacceptable how she spoke to me. I nicely expressed over and over that I did not like options she was and it was as if she could not accept that my style is not the same as hers. Insulting what I had chosen from other places was over the line.

Akira is an experience!!! Yes this store has an overwhelming amount of items to look through but…read morethey also offer personal shopping/styling, through their employees. When you walk in you are greeted by some very stylish employees. They always ask what you are looking for. What type of event you may be shopping for. I love that they offer suggestions and also set up a fitting room with all of your items. They continuously check on you. The items are pricey but that's what comes with purchasing statement pieces! Every single item I have ever purchased from Akira gets me endless compliments and attention! Anytime I need something cute I come here. If you are like me and don't want to show up to your event and see someone else in the same fit as you COME HERE! Run, don't walk' My two favorite stylist are Q and Anthony. Today I was also helped by a guy from Columbus Ohio. I did not get his name, but he was very friendly and helpful. Akira is definitely a "that girl" type of store! Always an amazing shopping experience!

Unbelievably rude. Have never been so disrespected!…read moreI will never step foot in this shop again. The entire time I was in the store, this man talked down to me and literally dared me to try on something to prove that I was a certain size and basically told me that I was lying about my size. Also, treated me like I wasn't his type of customer. He had NO idea and basically judged me by what I was wearing,. I have been a long time resident in Alexandria and his store is nothing special. I travel all over the world and have never been so disgusted with someone in retail or just anyone ever, for that matter.
