Lesley Evers had many items which interestes The Wife, which is good enough for a positive review. But while wandering around myself, I noticed several items with a prominent tag "Proudly made in Oakland California". I love that. It's a boutique that specializes in bright colors and patterns, like the late sixties dropped in for a visit and decided to stay. It was very tidy and well organized. And they have husband chairs near the dressing rooms. The staff was very attentive, making nice suggestions. And it was reasonably priced. read more

Unique and colorful clothing, high quality and worth the price. There is usually paid street parking nearby.

If you love colorful and vibrant clothing, this is the shop for you. Lesley is a local designer whose home-base is right here in the East Bay! A great place to stop by while strolling through Rockridge. Very close to the BART station. Almost all of the product in store is made IN OAKLAND! Locally owned and operated. You can tell the quality is durable and there is a lot of intention in the designs. The staff here are friendly and packaged my clothing for me after purchase. Very cute! read more

I finally got to see Lesley Evers in person! Woohoo! I bought something online about five years ago now and have worn it happily ever since. I kept saying that I'd pop by the store next time I'm in the Bay Area but I never managed to make it until yesterday. I'm not as young as I used to be and clothes don't always look the way I expect them to anymore, but these styles look really cute and I love the bold patterns and colors. What a delight to finally shop in person at a store that is homegrown with clothing that's made locally. Mary was super patient with me and showed me a number of cute things and she offered to ship a couple items back so that I wouldn't overload my carry-on suitcase. I'm hoping for a potential store in Santa Monica/Venice, Pasadena, Orange County or even Palm Springs some day - pretty please, Lesley! read more

I saw Lesley Evers clothing in my Facebook feed and was drawn to the colors and prints. It took me over a year to get here. I love the fact the clothes are designed in USA. There are so many cute items with fabulous colors. They are well made and good quality fabrics. The prices are very reasonable particularly considering they are made in the USA and not cheaply made in China. The sales clerk was very friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable about the stock and sizes. Even my daughter saw sweaters she would wear. We will be back. read more

Beautiful prints and vibrant colors greet one upon entering the store. The clothes have a British mod vibe. Sadly, the fit of some of the clothes is quite off and the customer service wasn't great (the clerks on the Sunday I visited were too busy scrolling on their cell phones to offer customers much help). I ended buying a few of their silk/cotton twill scarves--they are marvelous, holding up well to a handwashing and receiving lots of positive compliments. read more

The colors in the patterns are attractive, but the fabric is awful in the fit it's not good. I would never order anything again from them.

Love love love their colorful fabrics, designs and service. They have tops, dresses, purses, kitchen items...all made with exquisite fabrics. read more

Nice prints on terrible fabrics. Fabrics are heavy, viscous rayon is the cheapest I've ever seen. The dress lengths are long and dowdy. I've been sucked in to buying dresses 3 times. All dresses awful. Never again. Adios Lesley! read more

Wonderful customer service. I've not purchased in the past, didn't seem like my style. Today I found a gorgeous pair of magenta flares at 25% off promo, $76 out the door, fit like a glove. read more

The most adorable store with the best prints. Prices vary from$95 for three-quarter length sleeve printed button-down shirt to $38 for a V-neck throw on T-shirt. I bought two of those to wear with scrubs. Overall definitely cute! read more

I hate to bash a local business but I had an extremely disappointing experience at Lesley Evers. I bought a dress that needed to be shortened. I figured I'd get it done in house because who would have a better sense of the lines of the item? I asked for it to be just above the knee. It was ready while I was on a trip, so I asked my husband to pick it up. It was halfway up my thigh. I was shocked but figured this would be an easy conversation. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. Lesley herself was in the store when I came in. I tried the dress on and she remarked, "I think it looks cute." Well, that doesn't really come into play here. You have a customer who asked for just above the knee and the dress is substantially above that. She went on to say "My people are professionals, and they pinned it on you, so it must be right." Doubling down. I guess no one at Lesley Evers has EVERS made a mistake. I'm so disappointed and won't be back. read more

I bought my first dress online at the designer's website in April. Since then, I have become completely obsessed, buying 3 more dresses, 3 jackets, and 10 tops, from the designer's website plus second hand on ThredUp, Poshmark, and ebay. For a 50+ woman, her designs are totally "me" - a cross between Marimekko, Art Deco, and Lilly Pulitzer. I feel like I've rebranded myself with her design aesthetic. Every time I wear an item, I get tons of compliments. With the exception of LLBean, I've never been so attached to a clothing brand. read more

I can't emphasize enough how much I adore Lesley and her colorful clothing line. I had the great fortune of meeting Lesley in person and she is as nice as her clothes are amazing. How lucky are we to have such a sweet and talented designer right here in Oakland?! Her clothes have a timeless yet sometimes funky feel and usually a distinct vintage feel. The clothes are very well made from good materials and will last forever and always be in style. These are investment pieces and I have started building my collection myself. If you can afford to buy quality clothing, don't hesitate to buy Lesley Evers! You won't regret it! Bring on the fun! You will get lots of compliments! I do every time I wear Lesley Evers. I am always happy to tell people about amazing Lesley Evers. Thank you, Lesley and team, for making clothes that bring joy and smiles to our lives! Keep up the great work! read more

I've been shopping here for about 3 years and the clothing is AWESOME!! Wonderful and colorful and stylish. The fabrics & clothing are designed & made here in Oakland. I get so many compliments whenever I wear Lesley's clothing! Pricing is fair and affordable given the level of quality and design. Such a fun store too- just go look & you'll be hooked (happily!), like me! read more

Fun selection, friendly service. Lovely appealing store. I liked the jewelry selection also. Reasonable prices.

What a great selection of cool clothes! I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten on my Audrey pants in Sherbet Plaid and Loop Tile patterns. Also the Annie rib tee - functional, feels good and looks good! The prints are very cool. read more

Proudly Made in Oakland drew me right in. I was looking for masks when they were still a bit challenging to find, but luckily I found this locally proud designer offering a specialized material in an effort to protect consumers. Initially, the masks were so popular the shop could barely meet demand, but after a week or two I was able to purchase a set of two by mail. Both masks are comfortable and stylish even though the options were preset. After that purchase I received an email with a special on some blouses. Incentivized by 50% off I purchased a beautiful pink blouse for my Mom. Somehow I ordered/received the wrong size. I emailed the shop, they got back to me immediately, and they sent me the correct size and a free return postage link. I was surprised that they sent the replacement without pressing me to initiate the return first. I was beyond impressed. I hope my Mom likes the top so both of us can continue to patronize this Oakland based business. read more

It's not often that art and function intersect--but they do here. The store is named after the designer and owner, and you see her stamp on everything. The owner is passionate about her work and it shows in everything in the store. She designs all of the clothes and they are locally made and reasonably priced, especially for such high quality, detailed oriented clothing. And did I say they were fun? Well, they make you happy when you wear them! Another thing that I love is that she uses real people for her models on her website: different ages and body types. Likewise, her clothes are for real bodies: they make you look great and are super comfortable. Finally, they are flexible as they can take you from work to a dinner party. Just yesterday I was wearing the Audrey embroidered pants and I got a ton of compliments! I also have a great red top that is such a great, flattering fit. Can't wait to see what new stuff the store will feature for Spring! read more

Lesley Evers - This fabric is lovely (and stretchy!) - Women's Clothing Near Me - Oakland, California

I had only ordered online before and finally had a chance to visit this store. I found my Tribe!! So many lovely, bright, colorful, well-crafted pieces of clothing. The two young ladies working there were very knowledgable and helpful. It's worth the trip to Oakland to find new, unique clothes!! I also love that the clothes are made here in the Bay Area. read more

I have a Lesley Evers skirt that I adore so I came into the store to buy something for my aunt's bday. Thanks to some great help, I ended up with a super cute top, very comfy skirt, and a pair of gorgeous earrings. Aunt Jackie looks amazing! Thanks, Lesley Evers staff*, for making her birthday so super special. She looked phenomenal. *Thanks for the special handling when I discovered that the skirt wasn't in the bag. read more

My new duvet cover and pillow cases are so pretty! And, they were delivered in a beautiful box and gift wrapped!!! I got the bird pattern because I love birds! The quality, the attention to detail, and personalizing my shopping experience made me feel like a million bucks! I would recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for quality and beauty, as well as exceptional customer service. I like their sizing because I am "tiny"! I was able to exchange my order for a smaller size effortlessly. It fits me perfectly and is of course my favorite color, red! read more

Beautiful clothing bought it online. The packaging for the delivery is absolutely beautiful as well.

Wow I love this store so much. Wish I would have found it sooner. The cutest patterns around. Way more fun than the big stores. I like supporting a small business. read more

I am so grateful for the most BEAUTIFUL mask ever made! Wearing it proudly at San Francisco General Hospital. THANK YOU Lesley!!!! May everyone be safe and well. read more

I've ordered online, so I haven't visited the location but I thought they deserved a review- I absolutely love both items I've ordered, they've arrived so quickly, and always wrapped in the cutest reusable packaging. All of my chats and interactions have been nothing but friendly and helpful. I'm hoping to make it to the physical store soon. Keep doing what you do! Also, I LOVE your new summer dresses!!! read more

This is the perfect store to buy something for a partner, sister, or mother. They have everything from tops and pants to dresses and jewelry and it is all made with care and passion. Everything is unique, too--you will never find someone else at the office wearing the same thing. Also so great to support a local business! read more

Lesley Evers is a high-end clothing boutique a block from Rockridge BART. They sell dresses, skirts, blouses and a few accessories. It's a small store, so the selection is rather limited. They tend to feature bold prints and colors, and styles that are conservative: not revealing, work-appropriate, and (some might say) a little boring. The prices are high, $375 for a tank dress!!. They do have sales, but only on whatever hasn't been purchased - so usually XL and XS. The store feels a bit like an exclusive club frequented by fancy ladies, which is perhaps why my friends and I never feel like we fit in here. They seem to be doing well, though, so must have a solid following. Check out Crush and Tootsies down the street for more affordable options!! read more

I can rarely find lovely pieces in my small adult size and Lesley Evers clothing fits me like a glove! I love having multiple options of finely crafted clothes in eye-catching colored designs -- it's a shoppers delight! I'm especially fond of the fact that it is made right here in Oakland. It's so rare to find locally made clothes these days and Lesley is doing it right. read more

I wish I never made a purchase from Lesley Evers. I have attempted to unsubscribe from their SPAM list several times and still receive emails from them. Their attention to the details of their business must say something to their general customer service. read more

Unfortunately I was totally ignored when I went to this shop today. I was ready to buy a dress and a pyjama about $300 purchase tag but I left because I really don't want to give my money anymore to people who ignore certain people. read more

Lesley is a local designer who makes all her clothes in the US. Her designs are clean and simple. I recently ordered a black sweater that is now my go-to instead of a jacket at work. If I could wear it every day, I would. Lesley herself has a lot of integrity and interacts frequently with her customers on Facebook. She uses models who are not waif-thin, and recruits her friends and customers to model as well. You can get unique designs and fabrics here at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. read more

These are lovely dresses. The problem is, it is not accommodating for women with any kind of curves! If your body is straight up and down, this should work for you. At 5'7" and 155 pounds, I couldn't find anything read more

Love this store!!! Everything is really well made, and the dresses fit well and are flattering. Such fun fabrics too!

I have been a customer at Lesley Evers for a few years. I love her clothing - made for REAL women! Not every style fits me but her sales staff is really knowledgeable and helpful. She usually has a GREAT markdown rack - I've found a few bargains on that rack that have become favorites. I also love that her clothing is designed and made in OAKLAND! read more

I wandered accidentally in to Lesley Evers boutique a couple of months ago. Everything about this store is what I love. I love local designers and getting unique clothing. I bought a top there and wish an"Austin Powers" dress had looked good on me. Great material and well made!!! read more

I initially ordered a six pack of masks in April from Lesley Evers. I like that the masks are made locally, and I received them within a week by USPS. The masks are really well made, lots of stitching, adjustable straps, a metal nose bridge to secure it and pretty fabric designs. I ordered two more masks in June. Unfortunately, both of the masks from my last order had labels that stuck out on the side of the mask. It didn't look good. When I removed the labels, I nearly cut into the fabric of the mask. For this reason, I reduced the number of stars to 4. I would order more masks if the label was sewn inside the mask or no label at all. read more

I LOVE LOVE Lesley Evers clothing and this boutique is inspirational. Lesley's pieces are beautifully designed with flattering and feminine cuts. I wear her clothing for both work and casual, finding her pieces extremely flexible and always put together. I get complements all the time when I wear her clothes. Whenever I travel I have at least 3-4 Lesley Evers pieces with me. The college ave shop is a pleasure. The staff is helpful and friendly. There is always something new to see and many different outfits are shown, giving me ideas and inspiration. She makes me feel classic and modern and beautiful. read more

A true gem! Lesley Evers and her boutique(s) are part of what makes this community unique. Lesley's individual style shines through in all she does, from the bright & bold fabrics in her clothing to the subtle & quaint decorating touches in her stores. Lesley Evers' clothing style is timeless and classic, yet hip and modern. Her focus is on quality and comfort using exceptional fabric and immaculate tailoring. There is a clean line and simple elegance in every piece she brings to market. When shopping either in-store or on-line, her employees (and Lesley herself!) are dedicated to your complete satisfaction. If you cannot find your size of an item in the store, they will go out of their way to hunt it down from the Rockridge, Burlingame, Corte Madera and on-line locations. I appreciate that all clothing is sourced and produced locally & that Lesley gives the sales women current pieces to wear while on the job so we can see how they look on a real person and not just on a hanger. I whole-heartedly recommend Lesley Evers! read more
