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.

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.

My experience isn't shopping related, although my son found several men's formal items, shirt,…read moresocks, undershirts, ties. I would give this store a 5 star rating regardless of the following story. I was visiting DC from out of town. We came to Nordstrom Rack to find reasonably priced clothing for a wedding, which they delivered on. While I was looking through the fabulous shoe selection, I must have dropped my wallet. Contents of the wallet were the standard: id, credit cards, cash ($45), but also included prescription sunglasses. The wallet itself was my mother's. After our Metro ride back to Eastern Market, I realized I didn't have my wallet. Once my initial panic subsided, I began to retrace my steps, riding the Metro back to Pentagon City. I looked, and looked, but no luck. I went back to my son's place feeling defeated. Fast forward a few months, the day before my birthday, I got a package from Nordstrom Rack at Pentagon City. I figured it was a gift from my son, remembering something I liked back in March. Well...imagine my utter surprise and astonishment to find the package contained my long lost WALLET!!!! Not only the wallet, but ALL the contents as well (YES, even the money)!! I was overjoyed!! My faith in humanity restored. WHAT a birthday present!! Having said all this (and good for you for sticking with this comment, lol!), I want to publicly acknowledge and THANK from the bottom of my heart, Jayla and the staff of this fine store!! THANK YOU SO MUCH :)

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.

I had a wonderful experience at Crystal Boutique--an outstanding full service boutique with staff…read morethat know their business well. 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.

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 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.
