Betsey Johnson

We absolutely love this store. The manager, Jenny, is the most amazing and nicest person in the world! So sad that Betsey had to declare bankruptcy and it’s closed now ;(

Dear Betsey,
I will miss your clothes, jewelry, HANDBAGS, shoes! You had a funky style that was unlike any of the other designers out there. You will be missed.

I’m a little out of place «reviewing» Betsey Johnson, considering that I had no idea what/​where it was when I got an invite to a pre-​Cherry Blossom «party in the garden» at Betsey Johnson.
So the strength of the rating here is based off my friend (gal) loving the bright (pink-​trending) colors — which admittedly is very un-​DC — the city dressed in shades of gray (maybe its all the politicians/​lawyers/​lobbyists — or a generally fashion-​conservative crowd?). In any case, injecting color into DC is always a plus. Betsey Johnson definitely does not feel like a subtle style — this is for girls who want to stand out and grab attention at a cocktail party. No little black dresses here, and I remember commenting to my friend how all the heels must be at least 4″ …
If you shop here, you are probably a confident gal who is comfortable standing out from the typical DC crowd. Not a bad thing.

Jenny Zinn was outstanding with her energy, passion, and genuine interest in helping out! She was tireless in going up and down to stairs to locate the right sizes and suggest different styles. Great service, beautiful dresses, a cozy boutique, what’s more to ask for?

This is my favorite store of all time. also my favorite fashion designer. The workers are super friendly and helpful, they always are happy and you feel welcomed everytime you step foot in there, I’ve been to other ones where some workers are rude and dont greet or even look at you if you dont look a certain
this store this is not a issue. if you love yourself some betsey visit the store. And if money is a problem they have a sales rack and there are always promotions going on as well. Hope this helps!:) oh and
and Jenny are the absolute best!!! If you walk in and their working your shopping experience will be so much fun. I get so much help from them and they are just fun to talk to. EXtremely nice people.

Dear god do I ever love this place. My roommate and I like to go to Betsey aka Pink Heaven aka Mecca when we are having a rough week and this place is guaranteed to make you leave feeling giddy. The dresses are high-​quality, frothy deliciousness and there are some really awesome sales if you’re willing to wait a bit. Also, the staff here are the best part about the store. I think they realize that my roommate and I are both on student budgets so they are very helpful about showing us stuff that is on sale as well as many different possible outfits for each piece. They clearly love the clothes and playing dress-​up with the customers. In fact, they’ve stayed open almost an hour late showing us more options and talking about what’s in store for the Spring line. Jenny, Mo, and Simone… you all are seriously badass. Can’t wait for Betsey parties in the garden in the Spring!
Side note about the brand (not the store): I hope the quality stays up since I know Steve Madden is getting involved with Betsey now… I’ve been in love with her designs since age 8 and would hate to see the brand go downhill.

I’ve got mixed feelings about this particular store. I’ve had more pleasant visits here than not-​so-​pleasant ones. There was one particular visit which had me leave unhappily. I came in, there was 1 party ahead of me and 1 behind me. The sales associate greeted those ahead and behind me, but didn’t even look at me! I had the full intention of getting something, and she acted like I wasn’t there! But that was just ONE visit. Other visits I’ve had, this one particular associate was insanely pleasant! I LOVE this girl! If I recall correctly, her name is Audrey. She’s really sweet and funny and so kind and so patient!!! When I visit the store and she’s there, I’m so happy to be at the shop b/​c she’s one of the nicest girls ever!!! I’m so glad she works for Betsey Johnson! She’s a great sales associate and makes me want to come back more often!

I adore this store. Of course the product is top notch. However the staff is stellar!!! Jenny & Mo make this a place I want to just go hang out. Love love love them.

This has to be my favorite Betsey store I’ve stepped into. The layout is super cute and there’s a wide variety. I feel like the other stores around this area have a limited amount of clothes, while at this one there’s just more and more stuff which I love. The location is convenient, because if you’re a girl like me you’ll want to stop here, Urban, and American Apparel which is all relatively close to each other.

I’m not normally a big dress person, but staff at Betsey has changed my life. I bought a really great black sequined dress after trying about 8 dresses on. The guy who was helping me looked for dresses in my size that suited my figure, and was honest when telling me if it looked good. The dress is so cute I can’t wait to buy another!!! XOXOXO

I totally love this place. I like the clothes. But, the best part is that Jenny and Mo are just the nicest people. I have only been able to forward to shop there a few times, but each time they are so helpful. And, I can see that they treat their customers with respect and kindness — something I really value.
This July, they hosted a jewelry sales party in conjunction with my nonprofit, FAIR Fund. We teach teen girls how to create and market their own jewelry as a form of economic empowerment and therapy, and Jenny was so sweet letting us have an event there. The girls raised over $ 1200 in two hours. Mo also let the girls wear the Betsey dresses for an evening– they are still talking about it.
Thank you!!!

Truly an experience! I recently moved to the area and had to hit the Gtown shops, Betsey Johnson was amazing! I love the clothes and I’m so happy to live near one of the stores now. The Gtown store was super cute and had an incredible secret garden out back. The manager, Jenny Zinn, was very very helpful and spent time personally dressing me in some hot outfits! All in all a wonderful place to visit, very fun atmosphere, awesome clothes and best of all a great staff!
I will be back soon!
