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

Had a great expereince at Ellie's My daughter and I shopped at several bridal stores around Old town, McLean and Leesburg. Ellie's provided the best service and variety. They were very helpful, and pleasant. Spent alot of time with us vs. the other snooting OT shops. I'm actually buying my MOB outfit there, I liked them so much. so be careful what you see online. some reviews are just not true.

ELLIE IS A CROOK! The staff was wonderful until I bought my dress, accessories AND prepaid for the necessary alterations. The seamtress totally botched up my dress and Ellie flat refused to refund any of my money - even the $300 for alterations. I went back 3 times trying to get it right and days before I had to leave town for my wedding, I took my unfinished dress somewhere else to be altered. Ellie was completely unapologetic - she did not care a whit. She is the most unprofessional person I have EVER done business with. I... read more

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL! I could just beat myself up for going to Ellie's. The issue for me is I had read the reviews - mixed but mostly poor, and I thought, honestly, how bad can it be? Well....AWFUL!!! I'm still dealing with them and our wedding is in one week from tomorrow. The only reason I had gone to Ellie's was to look at a bridesmaid dress that I found online. Then I met Marie, who was very pleasant, and happened to see 1 wedding dress, tried it on, and decided to go with it, along with 6 bridesmaid dresses. Marie was grea... read more

Best experience After having experienced two really bad bridal shops, I was very discouraged walking into Ellie's. I had just finished telling my BMs that maybe bridal shops are just rude...NOT SO! The second I walked into Ellie's, I was greeted by Marie. Marie, immediately, tended to me and asked me very important questions and knew exactly what I was looking for. She was very honest and very friendly. She is the BEST!!! If you go there, ask for Marie!! She is very professional and reassuring. I ended up finding my perfect ... 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

Small store, pleasant experience. I was a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon. The staff said that not only were I and my friend free to look around, we were able to try on once the scheduled appointments left, and the store staff turned their full attention on us at that time. Not sure if it was the owner, but the one thing I noticed (and appreciated) was that she told me if a dress didn't look good, rather than smiling and nodding in everything I came out (I checked the tags--her comments didn't have anything to do with the pr... read more

Don't go to Ellie's Bridal Boutique Don't go to Ellie's Bridal Boutique!! I wish I had read the reviews before I dealt with Ellie's. Everything about the store was average - the sales people, the variety of dresses, etc. I found a dress that was OK and decided to order it. (My only excuse I can think of why I ordered the dress was wedding stress!) The dress arrived much later than they quoted me. The woman who answered the phone gave me wrong information about my dress several times. Finally the dress came in and I decided n... 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
