The costume and swim store is where you can buy new clothes for all life stages and once built you can access other items in the wardrobe.
Where is the costume and swim store?
The town map will show you were the store is located so you can build it
The picture below shows how the store looks when it has been built in your town:
Once the store is built and you have completed the It’s All Going Swimmingly Quest you will be able to find swimwear in your wardrobe
How do you use the store?
When you click on the store you will see the page below, it will show all of the sim life stages, there you can select the clothes, hair and makeup you want to buy for each life stage:
You can unlock new items to buy by building stores at the mall, check out my post here to find out what unlocks in each store
There is also the wardrobe tab, from here you can select one of your sims and customise them with the clothes and hair you already have available:
What can I buy from the store?
The items you can buy from the store will vary depending on how many stores you have unlocked at the mall
Once you complete the An Alien Concept: Weather Machines Quest you unlock umbrellas for all life stages except babies, the umbrellas are the same for all life stages:
The rest of the items available differ for each life stage, below you can see what is available for each life stage
