We are generally so used to expecting the robotic layout of a regular multi-store business, that this store seems disorganized when you come here. I mean this in a nice way! Stay there for a few minutes and then you can see the method in the "madness". Everything was easy to find and we were able to get help when we needed it. The selection is quite good for all categories and we were able to get swim gear for our kids. We also got swim goggles too :) The prices here are not Amazon prices, and they do not match Amazon price too. But, we were able to try the gear on before buying and also did get advice on what the right gear is for our needs. Having said that, just like any small mom and pop business goes, trying to speak with them over the phone took a few phone calls but we were eventually able to speak with someone at the end. Limited Parking is available behind the store. Good local option for swim gear!

They offer a spectacularly curated and frequently updated selection of some of the best labels, particularly the Adams Morgan location. I hadn't been back since 2022--far too long. During this most recent visit last week I was refitted and tried on at least a dozen bras, lingerie, and corsets. Ursula and Ashley were amazing--helpful, patient, and genuine hype girls (over the course of 2+ hours of indecision). They took turns bringing things based on what I picked out, my updated size, and whatever else caught their expert eye, and helped me get in and out of the corsets as needed. We even talked must-have skincare at one point!

For those of you who've spent years cramming yourself into whatever approximation of your size you…read morecould find at a department store, a place like this is genuinely life-changing. Regular fittings aren't a luxury -- they're a necessity -- and stores willing to take the time to actually help you (and know what they are doing) are few and far between. When you're not a standard size, shopping for bras is basically a part-time job with no benefits. So when you find a store that actually gets it, you are winning. And you will never purchase a bra in a box ever again. Alexandra and Janiyah were an absolute dream team. What started as a straightforward fitting turned into something closer to amusement. These ladies are pros. Janiyah knew exactly what she was doing and Alexandra kept materializing out of thin air with another bra every 30 seconds -- like a mystical Bra Fairy. The team kept the whole thing feeling fun and completely unpressured. And their bras are gorgeous. Thirty minutes. In and out. Properly fitted. Laughing the whole way through. If you've been putting this off, consider this your sign. Ask for Alexandra and Janiyah. Prepare to be visited by the Bra Fairy and leave a happier person - the twins will thank you .

TL; DR: immediately yes, come here and treat yourself! Stephanie is lovely! 10/10 new bra store…read morebecause a major retailer could never!!! I needed to find a strapless bra that would fit under a satin sleek off the should dress same day and Stephanie came through!!! I came here after rushing to another store in silver spring that closed hours earlier than they said they would when I called and talked to someone. Le Bustiere Boutique in Bethesda is nestled in between an alley and another store, but the inside 100% gives the vibe of boutique versus strip mall. They hung a few bras on the wall and then their dressing room is tucked away in the back with an adorable mural of different breasts with an affirmative saying in neon pink lighting. I use a special calculator (a bra that fits) to help determine my size and when I went Stephanie measured me exactly to that measurement. I was shocked because that never happens and it really helped me feel even more confident about my purchase. I was able to get my strapless bra and a new everyday t shirt bra. It's a French brand and I haven't ever had something feel like it's not there when I wear it. 10/10 really like this place and will be back without a doubt. If you're reading this then please just go, don't even hesitate.

Tommy Bahama Bethesda feedback:…read more We live in Alexandria, VA. I vowed never again to go back to the Tommy Bahama in Tyson's. Every time we go the staff is terrible. I even wrote customer service. They responded basically, sorry please come again. I found that extremely unacceptable. I really gave up on Tommy Bahama completely. Later I realized there is another location in Bethesda, MD. It is completely pathetic we have to drive over 20 miles to buy what we want, although we have the last 3 times strictly for customer service. We don't like to buy online as we prefer to try clothes on. All staff at the Bethesda location are pleasant. Jonah has helped us numerous times. And he is exceptional. These 5 star scores are strictly for the Bethesda location.

They have always had a diverse sales staff that are polite and very helpful. I am not sure why the other folks had issues. Please remember that staff takes cues from its customers, so if you are quiet they do the same. There are also times when customers are on their cell phones at the register. Sometimes -- we all need to take a deep breath.

I love cool n sexy undies but I dislike undies with a thick elastic band cuz they fall apart after drying. I like undies that don't look like I'm wearing a sling shot or a parachute. I love cotton undies that are light yet durable. This is the place. They are more experienced but worth it. I love how sales associates aren't like swarming bees asking if I need help. I'm just happy they are around if I need assistance. Bras are comfy!! Yassss!! Im telling yall. It's worth it!! I got bra fitted come to find out I was wearing the wrong size. Yall need to check this place!

1 star for staff knowledge/fitting…read more I believe in a good bra fitting. The proper bra fit can change your entire silhouette and, if you are well endowed, make life much more comfortable. I am typically a 34-36 band size- I have been for my entire adult life. I am pregnant at the moment, so I thought I might have changed cup sizes so I went in for a fitting and because I wanted some super comfy bras for the last two months of pregnancy. During my fitting, the sales person placed the measuring tape far lower on my back than it should have been and said I was a band size 42 (!!!!). I really do not know what I was thinking (pregnancy brain?) but I bought one in the size she recommended. This bra is WAY too big in the band and incapable of any kind of support. I measured in a proper shop and my band size is still a 36. If you want a soft I'll-fitting undergarment, this is the place for you. If you need support, go somewhere else.

After measuring my feet and looking at the shoes I was wearing, my excellent salesperson immediately suggested another brand, Saucony. And brought out my size of that as well as a couple sizes of Altra, and later a sales priced pair of Brooks. I decided the Saucony was sufficiently more comfortable to be worth the higher price, once he had also sold me on getting new inserts that were shallower near those toes. I've now walked 4 miles in them a couple times, just walked a couple, and I love them -- if I'd been wearing the Brooks, I would have soreness in the toes about now.

It has been a minute since I have been in an Old Navy. I was in need of some underwear and I…read moreusually get it from here. I prefer the way they make theirs and they always seem to have some on clearance. Better pricing in my mind. Some styles stay on the shelves a bit longer and you can sometimes snag a pair or two for cheap. I was in luck as I found two pair that fit the bill. But I had to search for a while. Unlike other Old Navy locations this one did not have a dedicated section where all the clearance items were. Nor was it set up like a traditional store. I had to figure this out the hard way as other clearance items were scattered about. I did a real quick search but gave up after a while as I was not in the mood to be in this store for way too long. After about moving about to three sections I made my way to the register. Being early in the day there weren't many workers and the line went slowly. This took a bit longer than I expected. However, the staff that did ring up my items was very friendly. This was the first time I have ever heard this in an Old Navy, but the one item I purchased was a final sale, no returns. No markings or indications anywhere in the store that they did this. Is this new?
