Fodor's Expert Review Lettie Gooch Boutique

Named after the owner's grandmother, this hip boutique attracts many of D.C.'s fashionistas with its wonderful collection of cutting-edge designers, including Prairie Underground, Collective Concepts, The Odells, Curator, Bridge and Burn, and Amodi, among others. Many of the lines are created with environmentally sustainable materials. After you've selected that perfect party dress, check out the bold, colorful jewelry and purses for an outfit that is uniquely yours. And if you need a souvenir for friends back home, the shop carries a selection of handmade soaps and candles from emerging artisans.
