Everything But Water

Very pricy swimwear and swimwear accessories.
The store is laid out nicely by color.
The salespeople… ah…helpful, if you ask, but not very graciously and not forthcoming if you didn’t. Reactive, not proactive and they kept mumbling amongst themselves to the point of ignoring the customers. There were two salespeople there, but only one would ever respond to your questions or help you… the other one just ignored everything or mumbled stuff to the other one.
Very limited sizing selections as they were out of a lot of different styles that I wanted to try on. I’m an 6 – 10 depending on the manufacturer. The staff member told me they send stuff back quickly to make room for other stuff. That was odd to me because obviously the style was available so why would you send it back if you still have some in the store to sell. Weird.
I also got a little grossed out on a white suit I wanted to try on, but when I got to the dressing room I could see how grimy and stretched out it was. Ugh, that was one they should have sent back.
A great concept marred by poor service and overpriced merchandise.

I LOATHE bathing suit shopping. If there’s anything I can’t stand more than that is the prices. I initially went in to find a coordinating bottom for a great bikini top I already have, but I have yet to find what I’m looking for and likely should just give up the good fight.
Tara was very patient with me as I was coming to the realization I was going to have to purchase an entirely new (pricey) suit and they clearly don’t run the same sizing as clothing (what do you mean my size is DOUBLE my normal dress size?!? My ego was bruised a lot). After a million (slightly exaggerating) attempts on my own, she handed me a great suggestion on the first try that fit almost perfect (bathing suit fitting is truly a science — ugh!), and was pretty much exactly what I was searching for. I am not embarrassed to be seen in this two piece this summer and couldn’t be happier with her excellent customer service. Worth the cost to look good at the pool ;-) I might even ask for help first before taking on this battle alone next time.
20 days returns on unused items.

I love this place because they have what I need, maybe what other women needs.
I do not particularly need pricey bathing suits. The location here has really nice bathing suits and they carry name brands. Not only do they sell suit suits, but also hats, flip flops, and some accessories for your bathing suits. Thus, I come here because this is the only place that sells some padding for the bikini. I told my cousin about this place, she got hooked, and she in turn told her best friend. So yes! I had a lot of people go to Everything But Water for this one product.
Service — friendly and nice! The sales associate was kind.

I came here with a friend because she wanted to pick out a summer bathing suit. This store is situated by the Cheesecake factory and Maggiano Little Italy entrance. The store is not very big, however they do have a wide selection of bathing suits. This includes, two pieces, one piece, two pieces with a skirt like bottom, or one piece that is almost like 2 pieces but slightly connected. My friend was able to find exactly what she wants at this store. She ended up buying a one piece Ralph Lauren swimsuit that is connected around the stomach area but is disconnected around the side of the waists. She said it helps her to hide certain unwanted spots but yet it is still revealing enough. Personally I would not choose to buy my swimsuits here because EVERYTHING is regular priced, no sales. I think I would be better off going to Marshall’s or Belk’s and wait until after the summer to catch the swim suit sales. I think unless if you swim a lot, it is probably not really worth it. However, the store clerk did seem very friendly and helpful, the entire store even though small is very clean. The decoration is pretty cute, they have fans that resemble umbrella leaves.
