    The tailoring and name tape area personnel were very helpful in identifying what I had needed for my uniform and where to purchase it. Instead of just telling me which aisle, they walked me to the area, pointed out the product, and proceeded to check my items out at the counter. You can also get your uniform or white coat tailored here. For the name tapes I purchased (the plastic ones), there's a ~$5 one time service fee. After that, it's $3 a name tape. The person made it immediately and it took less than 10 minutes.

    While on base, we decided to visit the exchange to waste some time. This is a two story building with escalators and elevators inside. The parking lot is a reasonable size and even has spots for compact cars. I enjoyed seeing how clean and kept this store is. Everything is nicely organized with signs clearly posted. The best of it all were the clearance sections! They weren't the greatest deals, but something is better than nothing. Downstairs they have a convenience store little section to include two pharmacy windows if I'm not mistakes. Maybe they were just customer service? Regardless, they had a wider selection of medicine and such than I have seen at other exchange locations. Their packaging section (alcohol) was exquisite also. Many drinks I've never seen before and even a cigar room. You can tell a lot of time and effort is put into this location and it is appreciated. I was even able to sit in on a product demonstration and got a free gift!

    Small NEX but very clean. Not very big or it doesnt have great selections. If at Walter Reed it is a place to get some food.

    I finally got on base to visit the NEX & it is was all that I remember from my younger visits...nowadays more modernized with all the current trends. Oppose from decades ago when the NEX was more like a depot or surplus store, present day reflects the mall schematic or popular retail store. You can shop for clothing, jewelry, household items, textiles, with offering Barbering/Hair/Nail services, Food Court & a huge Beer/Wine/Liquor department. All active Military, Retirees & designated Civilians can shop at the NEX which are located throughout the US & Overseas on military bases & on some Navy Vessels...shop on a ship while on the water. Great benefit for Honorably Discharged Vets who get to shop tax-free online. Thank you Military Universe for your sacrifice & service.

    Now they have extra 50%off sale. I got to find s Victoria Secret's underwear around $2. Lucky! And Calvin Kline bra was $44 and is about $12 now. Men's t-shirts $8-... Volcom's organic Cotten too.

    See this our price but then cover it and say 20% off suggested retail.

    Very deceptive pricing. They cover up the "your price" and then state they provide discounts on items. I saw this for north face and Nike. They really are not providing a discount but charging what the intended price is. No one pays MSRP on clothing anymore, not even at Nike or north face store. The other issues here is the items are tagged one price and come up another and worst issue of them all is even though they say sale they do not ring up as sale items and then it takes forever for them to confirm there sales. I am sorry there is lots of options and this is no longer an option for me to shop as they are overpriced and they blame corporate for the deceptive practice.

Plenty of Michael Stars, 525 America Sweaters, and some other more unusual very unique boutique lines. A small store with extremely well-selected inventory. But the highlight of Wear it Well, which I feel is best for women 30 and up, is the longtime owners and employees. I walked in today, told them I wanted to toss my wardrobe out the window, and they proceeded (not overselling, not oversolicitously) to help me come up with some great ideas, good combinations, and a host of things I wouldn't have picked out b/c I'm stuck in my own dull clothing groove. They really worked with me to ensure that I found some special things, and I don't think I'll toss the clothes I bought out the window with the others b/c they do push my proverbial envelope. That's what I needed. When the economy hits hard...and even when it doesn't...I make an extra effort to shop locally. Wear it Well is the kind of carefully merchandised, very well-run boutique that will earn your loyalty. Before you drive to the mall, walk down the street and visit these great gals. Watch out...they talked me into buying an absurdly expensive belt even though I don't wear belts. You know, I think it will become one of my favorite purchases ever! Plus, it's so pricey, I'm going to wear it to sleep every night no matter what.

    I'm going to be honest, I had no idea there was a mall in this highway triangle. I thought the…read morespace between where I-270 and I-495 met had nothing in it. I've only seen the area from the highways that are tree lined. I am quite amazed by how out of touch I was for this area. This mall is quite expansive. The one thing I love about the DMV area is that the malls are still thriving. Not to the point where every single store is filled, but no where near dead mall territory. I had some time to kill before I had to head back home and wanting to pick up some items. Parking here had me. I wasn't sure where would be the best place to park. I ended up in the outdoor lots and didn't even want to mess with the parking structure. As a note, early here means you will encounter a slew of parents with their children in tow. Be careful and mindful in the parking lot as they will be everywhere. The mall had a bit of everything in here. The typical anchors and national chains you would expect to find in a mall. Food court area was jammed with eateries and customers. I opted to not eat here. Would definitely come back. Especially on a lazy day. Good people watching, enough stores to grab whatever you might be thinking of getting, and ample parking.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this mall after so many years! The food court is always packed with people with many different choices. The restaurants available inside the mall is always interesting. I saw a new Thai takeaway place downstairs near where Claire's used to be. The selections of the store keeps evolving. I had no idea Lululemon moved and has a bigger store now. It's hard to believe that the malls in America are dying when you see how crazy busy it is at the Mall. I couldn't find parking until I parked closer to the old Sears lot. And that was during a weekday well after Christmas and New Year's too. My nickname at work used to be the Mall Rat Haha! I can't wait to discover what new stores are coming and going the next time I return.

While setting up the appointment, the questionnaire asked which ring I was interested in, and if I had any other requests. I specifically requested the ring that my girlfriend liked, and had a request to bring in 2 others to help me pick out the ring. I got a confirmation email, and radio silence until the day before the appointment. The day before the appointment, I was again asked what ring I wanted, and can only bring one other person to view the rings. Concerned, so I tried calling. This was when I learn that it is impossible to call specific stores. The number goes straight to a call center. When I asked if I can talked to the store directly to confirm that they have the ring I was interested in, they said the store would call me back same day. They never did. Finally the day of the appointment, about an hour before, I finally got a phone call from a less enthusiastic person, Emely. She stated that they had the ring, and I could bring two others. At this point it was too late and I already told my 2nd person they couldn't come. When I arrived at the appointment on time, Emely was not there until about 5 minutes later. Again with the lack of enthusiasm. She walked us to her desk, and showed us the ring we were interested in, along with a few other comparables. They only had larger size rings to show. When asking basic questions, we got a bunch of "I don't know" and "I guess" response. Really soured our mood when ring shopping. Finally when we were wrapping up, I asked if there were any number I could call if I had any questions. She said to just email her, but she was not responsive to emails before. The lack of enthusiasm and responses gives me concerns to purchase the engagement ring here.

    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 .

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.

The piercing was a little spicy, but not intolerable. I can definitely see myself coming back for more. I think the price for the service is very reasonable, but the jewelry price is on the more expensive side. I thought about getting multiple piercings, but chose to just get one based on the price of the jewelry alone. I could see myself coming back in the future because the experience was so enjoyable. Definitely better than any experience I have had in a tattoo shop! They also give you quality aftercare instructions and spray.
