Everything But Water {Review}

When it comes to buying swimsuits, it’s usually a challenge. My ego wants me to order online so I don’t have to try anything on in the store….but the logical person in me wants to try it on in the store so I know immediately if it fits or not and if it looks good. Add to it the fact that I will probably grab 4 of each suit because I have no idea what size I will need in a particular suit (is it true to size, does it run big, or is it super tiny)?

So a few days ago I went to Everything But Water the largest specialty retailer of swim, resort wear and accessories in the US. And, I went with two kids in tow…the two that have helped me with some “troubling” swimsuit areas.

Now, you all know I’m far from a fashionista, but when I walked up to the store, I was definitely intrigued (and felt only slightly out of my element!) But the ladies there made me feel right at home.

The store had many brands and styles of swimsuits as well as colorful options. When I first heard of the store I was worried it was going to be tiny swimsuits that only fit size 2 women. I couldn’t have been more wrong. There were options for all body types and sizes.

The most impressive and amazing part? They had looked at my blog and pictures, and pulled all of these suits in all of the right sizes without talking to me once. Talk about customer service! They were all waiting in a fitting room for me. I don’t think anybody has ever impressed me in a store like that. Every single one of these suits fit me! Now, they didn’t all fit perfectly or cover everything I wanted covered, but they all had potential.

The ladies were awesome, too. They came to check and see how each suit fit and what was good and what was bad about it. We decided that I shouldn’t have a top that went straight across and needed a little more shape to it. Then, they helped with the right color and fit for just the right look that flattered me.

The shopping experience was great, even with a 4 year old and a 9 month old with me. Even though the swimsuits were a little more expensive than what I’m used to, I would definitely get another one there. I was very happy with the way it fit and I know it will last a while, so for one swimsuit a year it was totally worth it.

    wow, great customer service. Makes the shopping experience even better.

  5. This can be so intimidating! I’ve seen the store before, but never went in. Maybe next summer I should…to acknowledge my recent weight loss.

  6. Sorry you had this experience. I wish I had anything I could do about the situation. If it were me, however, I’d reach out to the corporate office or get in touch with their main office and let them know.

  7. Worst quality ever, super expensive and first time use in the pool and the bathing suit lost its color and it is all stains.

    Bought 2 bathing suits from everything but water, before going to Mexico vacation this past February. Even though I thought they were overpriced, I liked them enough to make the purchase. I wore one of them one time only, and the bottom got so frayed that I couldn’t wear it again, again after only one-time use. I took it back to the store at the mall to exchange it for something different and the sales associate told me she couldn’t do that and gave me the customer service email and advised that I reach out directly. Strange approach!! Nevertheless, I emailed customer service and called them and they also declined to offer an exchange and claimed that it was a case of normal wear and tear. $175 for one wear. Very expensive!
    Will never buy from them again. If you don’t have a decent return policy, you don’t have my business.
