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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Going there saved me a great deal of time and made the shopping experience fun and relaxing. I visited Crystal Boutique, traveling from my home a 2-hour flight away. I am a hard-to-fit petite person and was searching for a special-occasion outfit and clothes for an overseas trip. I really hit the jackpot. Joel and Annick are treasures--warm, welcoming and kind. They found many things for me to try on and stayed with me every moment during my visit, showing me a variety of styles with different price points to consider. The other friendly staff, including Christie, also had insightful and helpful ideas. I found everything I had hoped to purchase and more and returned home thrilled with all that I bought.

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.

They have a lot of cute stuff and as someone from Rhode Island, I was excited to find a place with a lot of coastal-themed selections. However, the fitting room attendant seemed so annoyed by me wanting to try some dresses on. She opened the door to the fitting room and just walked away. She didn't introduce herself, tell me her name, or offer help. She never checked on me, so while I would have liked to try on different sizes, I just didn't because she was nowhere to be found. I ended up purchasing a clutch but I would be hesitant to come back, I felt pretty uncomfortable overall.

I was able to find exactly what I was looking for and a few additional items that really took my look to the next level. I took off one star because they do not have a place to try on the costumes, which is complicated because they also do not accept returns so if you buy something that doesn't fit you are just stuck. I didn't see many sales associates. The checkout lines were long, but moved very fast. Plenty of free onsite parking. I definitely recommend for a Halloween costume.
