I'm not the target market of this friendly looking boutique but I've often walked past it and admired the pretty dresses in the window display and was surprised to find that there were no reviews for it on Yelp. 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! read more

If you are a plus size woman and you haven't been to Gussied Up yet, get in your car NOW! Victoria the owner is an absolute doll! 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. read more

Women know how trying shopping can be. Even more so if you're a plus size woman. There are less options if you're of the curvy variety. Luckily, in Toronto we have a lot of little boutiques around the city that specialize plus size. Gussied Up has been around for a few years in Toronto and even has a store in Vaughan. Victoria, the owner, is an absolute gem and has the best memory! She obviously curates her store to carry great, special pieces and has a variety of classic and basic pieces as well as more higher label pieces that are seldom available to find in Canada. She has always been super helpful and never pushy. I also rather support a small business and have my dollars go back into the community. Even today, I popped in after not visiting in a while and Anna, the shop girl, was super patient, attentive and a great help in finding me suggestions. I look forward to coming back and buying some new dresses! Notably a lot Joseph Ribkoff pieces here! Some gorgeous unique gems. Also some of the cutest swimwear! Gussied Up is always worth the short bus ride from Bathurst station to Dupont or a short walk! Trust me. read more

I have yet to buy anything yet! But I love the fashion here! It's hard to find fashionable plus size clothing that's in and looks good. I worked at Bathurst and bloor and it was always on my way so I would stop in and look around. The owner is very nice, willing to help but no pushy and let's you browse without feeling like you need rush. I find it a bit pricy for my wallet, but it is understandable cause its plus size and up to date with the latest fashions. There is a few things I would buy, maybe later when I have the funds! Great place and would love to actually buy from here! read more

I love this store so much! I was in Toronto visiting from out of town and a friend recommended Gussied Up. My partner and I had such a fun time shopping here. If I lived within 1000 miles of the store I would probably never shop anywhere else. The range of clothing was very impressive for such a small store and everything was gorgeous, stylish and interesting. For reference, I like to sew and I am very picky about prints. Usually I dislike at least 50% of the hideous prints clothing for fat women can be made of...but I think I only found one item in the entire Gussied Up store that I didn't like. Lucky for my budget, the carefully curated selection meant that many items were unavailable in my size, since so few pieces were originally stocked. Someone my size had clearly gone on a shopping spree already. Most of the boutique focused on dresses (casual, cocktail, dressy, work), with some tops, skirts and pants, swimsuits and accessories. There were many designers I was unfamiliar with, which was fun for me! Prices for dresses ranged from around 60-250 dollars. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I wish there were more options for pear shapes and bootylicious bodies, especially in skirts and pants. There was a lot of space given to Joseph Ribkoff, whose beautiful dresses were too blocky and column-shaped to work on me. I appreciate that Gussied Up had a clear point of view and niche, rather than trying to do, and be, everything. Also, there's a bakery across the street. Yum! Now I wish I lived in Toronto... read more

Great selection of items not readily accessible in other plus size shops. Love the extra care the employees take when it comes to online orders and customer care. The owner Victoria is an amazing woman, always extremely kind and helpful. read more

Victoria is lovely, the store is beautiful and the clothes are fantastic! Gussied Up was recommended to me in a round-about-way from Facebook connections. I don't live in TO, but after visiting the store for the first time this summer, Gussied Up is now an absolute must for every visit into the city. It's not often that plus-size women can find fashion-forward clothing from a boutique store-front/brick-and-mortar store. Gussied Up offers the boutique experience with a selection of clothing and accessories that have been carefully curated by owner/operator Victoria. The shopping experience at Gussied Up has that sparkly, girly, fun vibe to it... great body-positive artwork, beautiful lighting and atmosphere, the whole experience defines "pretty". And to speak to the collection of pieces available to choose from, I'm someone who loves interested clothing and leans to the bohemian end of the style spectrum, while my best girl-friend is more classic-with-a-glam-twist... and we both have excellent luck finding items that speak to us and our different personalities and styles. I've loved the items I've purchased at Gussied Up. They've all been quality-constructed and make me smile every time I put them on. Because it's a boutique, because the items are special and fashionable, and because of the experience of shopping in a thoughtfully curated store - this isn't a shopping experience for folks who are looking for "cheap and cheerful" $5 tee-shirts. Everything is affordable (buttery leggings will run abour $25, while that special blouse or dress typically runs around the $45-100 range) but priced to match the quality and specialness of the pieces. I've gotta say - Gussied Up provides the most positive, fun, exciting and flat-out best shopping experience for stylish women in the 14+ size-range. I can't help myself from gushing about the store and about Victoria. Get yourself there, pronto, woman! read more

Excellent service. A wide variety of fabulous clothing from many designers. I will definitely be dropping in frequently to see what's new!

Upon discovering this store, I decided to visit it while in the Toronto area. I called ahead to verify directions. Noone answered. I tried a couple more times after that and no answer still. I figured that the store was closed and gave up. When my friend finally received a call back the NEXT day, they weren't even provided an answer as to why our call wasn't returned the following day. This business lost out on revenue because their phonelines weren't a priority not once, not twice but three times that day. With an utter lack of service or accountability such as shown in that instance, I will not support this business moving forward. read more

Lovely lovely clothes. Victoria was very warm and helpful with my shopping. I forgot a bag in her store and she went way above and beyond to return it to me. You really couldn't ask for better customer service. read more
