Francesca's is immediately off the beltway but tucked back a bit from the road - that can make it difficult to find, but it also gives it a quaint, detached feeling. The shop is on the second floor of the building and is decorated with muted elegance. You can't help feeling calm and at ease when you walk in the door, and the staff contribute to the comfortable feeling. They ask relevant questions and then lead you with uncanny accuracy to a selection of dresses just right for you. They do expert alterations quickly and for a reasonable price. Their dress selection is smaller than a big shop but each piece is gorgeous. Wonderful shop.
