Ellies is the Worst! Ellie's was a BIG mistake, I had a bad feeling about it from the start, but decided to trust them since it is a small store. I ordered my dress in December for my August wedding, at that time they said it would arrive in May, which is what I needed to happen as I was designing a custom jacket to go with the dress and needed it as soon as possible. Mid May, I had heard nothing from them and decided to call. The women who answered the phone, who could hardly speak English, told me that my dress was not shi... read more

Worst Wedding Dress Shopping Experience I do not suggest that anyone buy a dress from Ellie's Bridal. There was abundance of straight pins on the floor that pricked me while I was trying on dresses. I was was blown off my one the staff when I mentioned this. Although, after shopping around they were the only store that carried the dress I found online. I did order the dress and things went further down hill from there. They didn't bustle my dress as previously agreeded upon when ordered. I had to bring it back when scheduled... read more

Run in the other direction!!! WORST SERVICE EVER!! We had an appointment to find bridesmaids dresses. The entire time we were there we had to track down someone to assist us. There were well over 5 employees. There was a bride doing a fitting and our party of 5. While attempting to try on dresses two girls who clearly did not have an appointment received more assistance than we did. We left here fast and went to Katherine's bridal on Duke st. We did not have an appointment yet they accomadated us despite having a bridal fitt... read more

Brides and Bridesmaids Beware! Brides and bridesmaids beware!! This is not the shop for you. I ordered a dress from this shop on June 1st for a wedding on July 19th, paid $50 extra for supposedly "super rush shipping" and did not recieve my dress until July 12th, exactly one week before the wedding. To top it all off, when I went to pick up my dress I was totally ignored by the ignorant and untrained staff at the shop and there was noone to whom I could voice a complaint. If that isn't enough to make you reconsider shopping ... read more

The Owner is the worst.... I got my dress from Ellie's and worked with Marie who was great; however, every encounter I had with the owner, Ellie, was TERRIBLE. There was a spot on my dress when it first came in and 4-5 other people at the store recognized it and said they would clean it, then Ellie comes over and says she can't see it. Obviously, she was lying and Marie (as well as my mother and a bunch of other people) showed her specifically where the spot was. They cleaned it and it was fine. Then after I picked up the dr... read more

Good if you don't want to be bothered I will admit I visited this store without an appointment on what seemed to be a busy day. But I was only looking for veils, so I was not feeling like I needed to have an actual appointment. I got no service and while the other brides who were in the store were very nice, the staff kind of made me feel like my trying to look in a mirror with a veil on was a hassle because there were girls trying on gowns. I was very careful to approach the mirrors only when a girl was changing into her ne... read more

Can have wonderful service, but beware..... I have been to Ellie's twice. The first time I took my future sister-in-law. I dealt with Elizabeth who was wonderful. She was patient, friendly and courteous. They let you put the dresses on yourself in the fitting room (other boutiques come in an assist you, which can make women feel rather uncomfortable). They didn't have a set time limit on my appt. and allowed me to try on what dresses that I wanted to, not ones they pick out FOR you. Overall, a great first experience. I sched... read more

Don't use them!!! DO NOT use Ellie's Bridal for your big day. I hardly ever write reviews but I don't want another bride to go through what I did. I ordered a wedding dress sash on March 12th for my June 23rd wedding and was told it would come in in a month. I called around mid-April and was told it would come in in mid May. In mid May I called and was told it would be shipped on May 27th, and was told the very last day it would be at the store was June 5th. I called the store on the morning of June 5th (almost 3 months afte... read more

Bad Service A bridesmaid and I traveled to Alexandria to check the color and fit of some bridesmaid's dresses we'd found online. We were left in a little back room by ourselves to look through their selection. The lady that was helping us was nice but basically put some books out in front of us for us to use as a selection guide. We thought that was a little weird but chose to overlook it because they seemed busy, nice, and we appreciated the selection. Once we had made our decision (days later), the bridesmaid returned to E... read more
