Aly is a wonderful person, she picked out swimsuits for me, let me try them on and knew how to help customers with medical conditions. A truly wonderful person! Second part, the swimsuits are over priced and not the quality one expects. I was shocked how after one wear the swimsuit bottom lost all form and the elastic became so loose that it doesn't fit anymore. Maybe if the swimsuit bottom was $25 instead of $92 I wouldn't feel being ripped off.

The BEST PLACE in or around Seattle to buy a swimsuit if you want something **special**. Heidi will…read morealso custom make a swimsuit to fit your body type. I LOVE the little blue and white polka dot bikini I bought from her and am eyeing some of her 2009 collection. Heidi also makes a lovely, sexy, and fun line of swimwear for breast cancer survivors who have had a mastectomy. These suits have prosthesis pockets and higher cuts around the arm area. The line is called Anne Fanny and you can see the line and story behind it at her website. Heidi Fish is truly one of West Seattle's best kept secrets but Seattle would be a more beautiful place if more girls would rock her suits. Check out Heidi's website and showroom and get the best swimsuit you've ever owned.

Well, at first, everything seemed great. Heidi was willing to hem our new curtains for just 20…read moredollars. Fantastic! Quick turnaround too with just one day. However, Heidi cut a gash in our curtains, and didn't mention it when I picked them up. When I got them back home and hung them back up in front of the door, it was immediately obvious because they hang in front of a sliding glass door that faces the afternoon sun. These blackout curtains allow NO light through, so it's INSTANTLY obvious. I called Heidi and asked if she would fix it, naturally. She said it was like that when we gave the curtains to her, and said she was going to call us about it before starting the work but didn't. She offered no explanation as to why. She refused to do anything to fix her obvious damage to our new curtains, which we had hung up for 4 days before giving them to her. If there had been a gash before she got them, we'd have seen it readily, just as it was instantly apparent when I got them hung up today. Shame on this lying, classless woman who took my cash to avoid paying taxes, and then damaged my curtains and couldn't even own up to it. SHAME on Heidi Fish! All I asked was for her to FIX it, I didn't even ask for my money back. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS CROOKED LIAR!

I love going to the Pencil test for bras. I recently changed bra sizes due to weight loss and was…read morein dire need of new bras. This was the 2nd time I had gone. I usually book an appointment, they do have walk ins available but if you don't want to gamble on an open fitting room, I would book an appointment. Anyone with a larger cup size knows that most stores don't stock those sizes outside of online. It's also the easiest way to try on bras without needing to buy and return. The fitters know their stuff. The most recent visit, the fitter was able to correctly guess my size without a measuring tape. The bras here are not necessarily cheap or at least not the ones I've bought. Bras in this cup range tend to be in that $50-100 price range. A lot of them are European brands. They do carry brands like wacol or natori which you can potentially find cheaper at Nordstrom. I come here because I know those brands don't work for me.

My entire experience from start to finish was memorable. I called ahead before arriving with a few questions, mainly about parking, and spoke to someone who was friendly. I was grateful to find a parking spot right across the street and I was greeted warmly by members of the staff. I felt welcomed. The person who assisted me today was Olivia; she was very kind, professional, knowledgeable, and honest. I left feeling well taken care of by her.

We stopped by recently and it's still cool to see such a big location. It has multiple levels and filled to the brim with gear for hiking, running, cycling, and camping. Outside of the store, there's a little trail they've set up for you to test out bikes; not sure if they let you do that with hiking boots, too. Since it's Seattle, you can find more than a few items that feature BigFoot on them. Service is always terrific and I like the fact that they have such a generous return policy in place if you're not satisfied with your purchase (for members on eligible items. it's within 1 year of purchase, even if gently used).
