I literally have a blazer that I purchased in 2008 that I STILL wear and it still looks good and relevant. The prices are somewhat on the high side but I feel they are justified for the most part. I've visited all locations in the ATL and surrounding areas and the Avalon location is by far my favorite. They have the friendliest and most helpful girls working there. Definitely recommend FP.

Located in Yorkville (across from Anthropologie which I think is owned by the same company…read moreanyways), this store has a downstairs (separate entrance) where the lingerie, shapers and some pjs are kept. I did love some of the bras - they were just unique and sexy and just beautiful. And expensive....one bra I really loved was $88. I just couldn't justify it. I didn't see one bra that had any padding - mostly all sheer which is unfortunate because if you aren't blessed in the chest department I don't think they would look as well as compared to someone who could fill it out. Go outside and then upstairs is where the clothing is. Located on 2 levels it of course has the feel of Anthropologie and similar pricing. This week they have 30% off their sale items. Some jewelry, shoes but mostly clothes I wasn't that impressed by the clothing. I more so loved the lingerie. If you have any sexy time coming up (Valentines Day??!) and just want something that makes you feel lovely then definitely check out their bras.

Thus, I decided I'd make a heroic sacrifice for my fellow yelpers and go in and check it out. The owner Victoria was lovely and happy to chat with me and her store itself is well laid out with a pleasant atmosphere. There was a wide range of attractive clothing for sizes 14+ as well as jewelry and other accessories. I should note here that she's not currently stocking shoes but has pretty much everything else you need to kit yourself out. Also, while I was there I saw at least one happy customer make a number of fine purchases. Hopefully someone who has actually bought something here will come along and give their more experienced review however I was pretty impressed with Gussied Up - if you are a fuller figured lady I recommend coming in and checking it out!

So friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and a suggestion, without being pushy. I cannot say enough about the clothing. I have yet to leave the store empty handed. I have purchased dresses, tops, a super cute bathing suit, and accessories. And I am always complimented on my outfit when it comes from Gussied Up. I am so happy now that their second location in Vaughan is open, it's much more convenient for me (but that could be dangerous for my bank account) The only negative about the Bathurst location, is that its a little tricky finding parking, but if you persevere, its worth it.

So I haven't been here in a while, mostly because I no longer live downtown, but for a while I was…read morepretty much buying up the whole store. They have super cute vintage dresses that I was particular taken with and still love to look at (even though during covid my preferred outfit is sweats). I got so many compliments on dresses I bought from that store, whether I wore their stuff socially or at work. Actually it kind of made me feel like I was one of those glamorous women in Mad Men. I'll always have a soft spot for this place - highly recommend if you're into vintage, pretty dresses. Most of that part of Queen Street has great vintage finds.

The storefront says, "Buy Fresh, Buy Local." But in reality, it should be "Buy Local? Buy Fresh."…read more The Collective (note not co-op) is a wonderful little haven of handmade crafts and goods. There were more adorable earrings, purses, and clothes than I could fathom. My friend and I wandered the store for nearly an hour alternately exclaiming, "cute!" with mouth agape or chatting up the staff. As Erin H mentions, each showcased artist/designer works onsite once a week. The only downside to this is if inquiring minds have questions about something other than the artist du jour personally made, there won't be any answers. And as a person with some hard core metal allergies, I won't buy jewelry unless I am certain that it doesn't contain anything that will make my earlobes swell. However, I was lucky to encounter the artist who crafted the earrings that fell in love with and so, got to take them home with me (and support the local arts). Plus, I was able to be a helper that day (I love being of assistance). As the resident artist handed me a credit card receipt, I was able to pass along this little tip: legal colors only please! I passed on the pink pen handed to me and instead signed with a my own, handy blue plume. For, although I wasn't planning on contesting the charges, anyone could attempt to do so and without either a customer's blue or black ink signature on file, the store might end up "out" some fundage.

A last minute super find, birthday gift of Ferragamo brand new pumps for my sister (which is all she wears) at a 10th of the price from Ferragamo's shop on Bloor. I saw a Barbie Balenciaga pink puffer go for $999.00 instead of the price in The Room of $3,400.00 just a few months ago! I check out the store every couple of days in the hope of new arrivals in my size. This shop is my new "Happy Place" Thank you all you very rich folk for letting we wanna be fashionestas having a shot at looking fabulous. Best consignment store I have ever dealt with.

Excellent selection of gorgeous scarves and purses and jewelry. Definitely a "must" if you are looking for some beautiful clothes at great prices.

I've been in a few times since it's opened and I've never been disappointed. I happened by here today with one of my friends so we could check out the sales. I have to say, I was even more impressed than usual. Service is always great, but even with a store crowded with throngs of bargain hunters, we both received excellent service. The salespeople were extremely helpful despite the crowd. Whenever a store has a sale on, I always feel like I'm going to end up picking through the remnant pieces of clothing that no one else wants, however, today, that was not the case...the sale prices were amazing and the selection was ridiculous. We had a great time shopping and literally had to stop ourselves from buying more than we did. Overall, they carry a great selection of office attire, and great weekend attire as well. Will definitely be going back...there's a reason this place is one of my favourite shopping spots.

I thought I'd give it a shot and see if they'd be nice enough to accommodate me. The manager I spoke to certainly didn't look too pleased that I was exchanging an item instead of purchasing something, however, she made an exception and allowed me to exchange the shirt for the current selling price ($25 dollars less than original value). I quickly picked out something and paid $8 more. Another sales person helped me at the cashier who was friendlier than the Manager. She wrapped the new shirt up nicely and apologized they couldn't do something more. Overall, a pleasant experience at Ann Taylor where you'll receive A-OK service!

Nonetheless in the age where mainstream brands have brought somewhat formal clothing within reach of mere mortals I would say this place is a decent alternate if you don't want to join the now its sale/boxing day and load up approach for a specific brand. Some of the stuff I tried fit well and I kind of like the color scheme and cut they offer. Prices were decent and the setup is nice and open. I never felt pressured into trying something on and help was there when needed. I would say give it a look if you think their style of clothing is up your alley. 3.5 Stars

Sitting pretty on Ossington is a really large Tiger of Sweden. The size of the store is something…read moreI normally would see in a big shopping mall. Tiger of Sweden fits Ossington nicely as the location and brand both lean towards the young, urban, and trendy. You do need to bring your gold card here though... it does have really nice textures and quality but you pay for it. Right now in December, they have some really great sales. Stepping in the large serene and modern space, I noticed more than half the rack had 30 to 40% off. I was impressed as it wasn't just a token rack in the back on sale. The clean lines and fit of the clothes leans torwards the European slim build and I personally like that. Tiger of Sweden did originally start in menswear but their woman's wear is really nice as well. Think easy pieces that transition from Bay St office to evening in a nice upscale restaurant. The service here is friendly and attentive ... though they do know that it is annoying to hover. They don't do that thankfully. They offer insights on sizing as it is in European sizing. It's not the usual American brand sizing. It was easy to try items on and even though I tried on a few coats among the store, I never once felt the heavy pressure of a sales tactic. Overall, really nice clean modern aesthetic that will last beyond a season in terms of quality & style.
