Yes, this is Florida, but I just believe there should be a little bit more material. Kudos to the Owner of this company for hand sewing each and every mix and match bathing suits. I don't want to seem contradictory, but my true feelings, but I do support small business.

There's much less cheap imported junk and more stylish, quality clothing and memorabilia.

The sale rack outside was 40% off so naturally before I walked in- I checked out the selection on sale. Everything was beautifully sorted and didn't have hardly any tacky items at all. I tried on a few items and checkout out their interior as well shortly after and was pleasantly delighted with their perfectly stylish items. I walked out with the blouse from the clearance rack which had a nice fabric and fit comfortably. I'd highly recommend this charming and quaint retail store while in the area.

Walking in, the store is clean and well organized (kind of hard to find the Plus Size section, but frankly, that's pretty normal... they always hide us in the back). Departments were marked well, with ample signage, and sales were well advertised. Racks were clean and straight, there wasn't any mess in the walkways or overflowing tables of tee-shirts. It was a relaxing, stress-free, shopping experience. Even on an early Saturday morning, this store was not busy at all, which I prefer. Clothing definitely skews toward "Ladies Who Lunch in Florida," - you won't find anything super-trendy that your teenager would wear. This is for stylish mature women who live in FL and need to look amazing, put together, and cool, all at the same time. Clothing fabrications reflect those needs, too, with light and airy options that won't make us sweat (I shopped in April). Fitting rooms were nicely-sized, with a solid door (not a curtain), and a chair. One gripe... there were only two hooks for clothes (I like to have hooks for "Try On," "Buy," and "Put Back" options). Within the fitting room, but outside the individual stalls, was a three-way mirror so you could get a really good look at your outfit to make sure you'll look good coming AND going! As I said at the beginning, the check-out staff was what really dropped the quality of my experience. There was no employee at one counter, so I went to the other one, where there was one lady doing a return, and doing it *very* slowly... It took her probably 5 minutes to complete it AFTER I'd already gotten there, so who really knew how long it took from start to finish! I think it took 15 minutes for me to check out with my two simple items. However, even though she was slow, the cashier was extremely friendly, so a point in her favor! I like this location, and I like the clothing sold in this store, so I guess I just have to decide if the long wait to pay is worth the affordable stylish clothing?
