Weston

I usually like when I’m not bothered all the time but this was just awkward. The employees would just stand– arms crossed looking at customers and never saying hello, I felt very unwelcome.

Adorable clothes– well made and affordable prices! The staff is very friendly without being pushy. Will shop here again!

Will definitely come back. Tons of cute skirts, tops, and dresses. I got a great work dress that’s cute and playful enough to be worn on weekends too. The collections are similar to Anthropologie’s nicer, work-​appropriate selections. The quality varies– some of the things I tried on looked terrible due to poorly sewn seams and things like that. But the dress I ended up getting was very high quality, and if a matching top hadn’t been a little too expensive, I would have bought that too.
But I will say that out of the three salesgirls working today, only one was remotely interested in me. One of the apathetic girls did start a fitting room for me, but she was sullen and unfriendly and did nothing more than that to help me. I’m actually annoyed that she earned a commission from me because her coworker was the one who told me the dress I was trying on looked good and fit well. I hate to be that person, but seriously– just smile. Just fake being friendly for two minutes and then I’ll leave.

If a store is going to have an all sales final (for store credit only) return policy, they need to do more than have a difficult to read small print sign. Tell your customer before they purchase! So disappointed in this place. I wish I never walked in.

Weston Wear is sold all over the country, but is made locally in San Francisco. The clothes are lovely, many of them the stretchy mesh style, but also cottons and silks as well. Most of the dresses are in the $ 100-​$ 150 price range, but they do have a sales rack in the back, and occasionally have $ 10 and $ 20 sales as well. The tops are great for wearing under blazers and they have a lot of items in basic, neutral, and solid colors.

This store is a gem on Valencia St. It’s quiet, welcoming, and the perfect spot to spend an afternoon perusing clothes that are not only reasonably priced (my favorite first date dress was under $ 70), but also local and ethically sourced. Julienne Weston has a punk/bohemian’s eye for color and pattern, but a dancer’s feel for texture and shape. It’s a unique combination when creating clothes for professional women who need to transition day to evening in 2 steps or less.
The girls in the store are very helpful, but not overbearing. They wear what they preach, and it’s great to see how their different styles shine through the same Weston pieces.
Accessories are beautifully curated, window displays are clever, and the store is always clean and organized. In the last six months, this store went from an occasional stop to my new go-​to. Well done Weston.

My husband spotted this place while we were walking around the mission. I immediately loved the store once we stepped in. The store is simple, yet trendy. I worked at bebe for many years in college and I felt very comfortable at this store. The store associate wasn’t pushy, but was helpful. We had a good chat and she got me everything I needed. I love how the clothes in the store is very comfortable to wear, which I think is essential when I buy clothes. Look forward to what else they will be offering in the future.

Two stars for the merchandise, the clothes are really lovely.
But:
I have NEVER experienced worse customer service in any store ANYWHERE-​than I did today. The owner of this store should know that the sales personnel today, Sunday June 2, were completely apathetic and disinterested in their customers. The store was completely devoid of customers and I can see why. My friend and I were ignored by BOTH of the women in the store. One was shopping for shoes next door, the other was engrossed in her phone. No offer of a dressing room, no help with sizing, not a «Hello, how are ya», NOT A WORD to us at all.
We would probably have spent some $$$ here had anyone been interested in selling us something.

First I shall say, I am bias because I love the line Weston Wear! BUT this is a shot out to the marvelous Georgina who helped me and my friends today. She was lovely. Nice, helpful, not pushy and most of all friendly! Great customer service. I really appreciate that in this market. Good job!

The sales lady (Sharon?) wasn’t the friendliest as she constantly showed another lady things/​outfits while she never approached me at all until I was holding things to try on.
The store is very simple — not overwhelmingly filled with stuff. This was my first time here — after finding one of their dresses at Anthro, I decided to check out the actual store. Overall it’s ok — the sale rack is decently priced though not a huge selection. I might stop by if I’m in the area, but I won’t make a special trip again.

Weston Wear is one of my favourite stores ANYWHERE. No matter how short my visit to San Francisco, I always stop by this store, and I never leave empty-​handed.
It offers beautifully cut, easy to wear clothes that can work for the traditional or the bohemian. I particularly love their easy-​to-​pack, easy-​to-​wash mesh fabrics, which include both straightforward solids and wonderfully imaginative, eclectic prints.
I rarely travel without a Weston Wear dress in my bag, and I often wear them when making a presentation because I don’t have to worry about wrinkles or tugging. In fact, I’m wearing my favourite grey ruffle-​edged WW dress in this video (though you can only see the top):
Their styles include shapes flattering to a range of figures. I’m a curvy 10, and I love the many wrap and crossover style tops and dresses, which work great with boobs.
This particular store sells both the current collection and a large assortment of sale and sample garments. Note that the vast majority of the discounted items are marked «S» — but most of these aren’t smalls, they’re sample sized, which is actually between a medium and a small. So if you’re a medium, they are still worth trying on. Perhaps because of the sample sizing, it’s worth trying on different styles in different sizes; I’ve purchased sample sized clothes, medium pieces, and larges. Prices for discounted items run from $ 40 for a top or skirt to $ 70+ for dresses.
Weston Wear also stocks a small but excellent collection of jewelry; I get constant compliments on the sparkly necklace I purchased there several years ago. Their jeans are great, too — again, lots of compliments on the pair I picked up a couple of years ago, which are still going strong.
The staff is helpful but not intrusive; you can try on a huge assortment of clothes (as I always do, since I’m only there once every year or so) without any objections.
Hurray for Weston Wear! I just wish I could find a reliable supply of their clothes in Vancouver.

Weston Wear, I love you! I’ve been shopping here for several years and always find something cute. The sample sales are especially great, just 3 days ago (their sample sale ends on Monday) I left with 5 tops for $ 25 each — perfect for spring.
I read some of the one, two, and three star reviews and I guess I can see your point of view???
Their poly materials don’t work for everyone, they work for me. Besides, they have a great new line of natural materials that are just wonderful and high quality.
Their sizes and styles are forgiving for every body type, you just have to find a cut that works for you. I am on the chubbier size ¹²⁄₁₄ and easily find dresses that flatter. I have skinny mini friends that find great styles here too.
Their style, well people, if you haven’t guessed, style is subjective. You either like it or not. I get compliments EVERY TIME I wear a piece from WW. Yes, some of their patterns aren’t my taste personally. But lots of their patterns are exactly my taste.
Their services has always been wonderful for me. Friendly staff that gives great suggestions on how to wear and pair things.
And to top it off, when I was just there, I entered my name in their raffle and won a $ 50 gift certificate.
Weston Wear, you rock. I am proud to support you, a locally owned business that even manufactures in San Francisco. You can’t get better than this!
Hugs,
Leslie

I am so upset to hear the store was vandalized and the windows were smashed.
Ok, so with that being said I want to say that Weston Wear is a store for the 99% and always has been! Even in my darkest financial moments I’ve been able to score a sample sale dress for under $ 40, which I wore almost daily for work as part of my stupid dress code at my 99% minimum wage job. Things are a little better for me now, but I still wear several dresses that I bought there over 7 years ago and they are in fantastic shape, despite having regularly abused them in the washer and dryer. Their clothing is locally made, they use great quality fabric and beautiful garment construction.
I love this store and I hope the cleanup goes smoothly today. I am so sorry that this happened to you Weston Wear, you really didn’t deserve it!

Cute shop, really super organized, very clean. Lots of clothing options to choose from, a nice addition to the multiple boutiques already on Valencia.

I am one of the people who SWEARS by Weston Wear. I am a size Small, but I have a couple extra pounds on my belly. Their tops and dresses are SUPER flattering, and I look positively skinny in 2 of their black dresses.
There always seems to be some kind of crazy sample sale, and just tonight I found 2 great tops on clearance for $ 10 each. Not sure how I missed them before!
My friends are at the point where they’ve stopped asking me where my latest cute outfit came from. Instead it’s the eye roll and, «Let me guess? Weston Wear!»
But yeah. I think most of my wardrobe for date nights, weddings, and special occasions are Weston Wear items.
Next time you are in the Mission, stop by.

I love love love their clothes and HATE HATE HATE their employees. Why is that the people who work there are so annoyed at the customers for coming in and interrupting their internet surfing? Seriously whenever I go I always stock up because the clothes are amazing. I am not happy that my money is going to people who really do not care about customer service or even looking up and saying hello when someone walks in the door.
their sample sales are dreamy! I always receive dozens of compliments on their clothes (they way they are cut, the patterns and materials the way the pieces just «flow».) it is just so unfortunate that they cannot employ people who are as enthusiastic about their clothing as their customers are.

it really is a three-​star place to me since overall, it’s pricey for what it is. most of the clothes aren’t my style and they have a lot of patterns that are too busy and trendy for me. but there are a few things i’d be willing to splurge on if i were in a place to splurge.
but a plot twist — i found a sample dress! there were slim pickings of samples the day i went as it was probably the wrong season for those deals. but i still found one and it was only fifteen dollars! amazing as i’m sure it’d be at least a hundred or so at anthropologie.
that awesome find combined with the nice, but not overbearing person working that afternoon made it a very pleasant experience. i can’t wait to come back and dig for more samples!

Hey! They reopened after they had a fire (I think) and it’s all snazzy and refurbished! I like their clothing boutique items in the front, with a mix of designers, great accessories, and cool jewelery designers, all laid out very tastefully. I’ve found really nice jeans on Sale!
The racks in the back of the store have a lot of their house-​brand discounted items, organized by sample sizes; and racks with small, medium, and large items. A lot of the large and medium sizes have been picked over, and the sample sizes are typically Small.
The clothing Weston Wear makes is usually made of synthetic jersey. Some people are fans, some aren’t. Knits seem to be one of those materials that either flatter you if the cut is good for your body type, or they look terrible!
I haven’t had a ton of luck with the cuts of clothing made by Weston Wear. I’m big on the bottom, thick in the middle, wide on top; basically I have a swimmers body. I seem to gravitate toward the super cheap sale racks and don’t have much luck, possibly because these items have ended up on the sale rack for a reason… as other reviewers have mentioned, I too find the prices a bit steep, but I try to keep in mind that they are a local company. Still, it’s hard to shell out the cash, isn’t it?
Sales people are super nice, and I recommend stopping in if you’re in the area looking for independent designers and have a supple chest or booty :)

If you’re a sample size, this is the place for a hot deal in the Mission. If you’re not a sample size, this is still a pretty awesome place for unique, beautiful, comfortable clothes in the Mission. This is my lunchtime destination, my go-​to for special occasion as well as work wear, and my all-​around favorite new place to hunt down a good deal.
On a recent trip, I walked out with four dresses, a bag, and leather sandals for around $ 100. All samples are around $ 30 and will fit XS/​S girls and even some mediums. They also have a huge selection of S, M, and L past season dresses marked down to $ 40 and current season items at full price. Skirts, tops, and accessories galore make this a secret gem on Valencia. I would write more but I’m on my way there now…

Not sure why more ladies don’t know about this complete and total treasure, but I stumbled in to this place and came out with some incredible deals worth noting: 3 beautiful tops for $ 65.
I worked at Anthropologie many moons ago and remember the very-​high markup on her clothes so never purchased any of it. Alas, this place offers her amazingly comfy and fashionable clothing at incredible prices. Over the holidays the racks were abound in all colors, shapes and sizes: she truly designs for real women, curves and all, much like Trina Turk.
My closet is already asking me when I will dump a couple tops out and renew with some new Weston tops. Soon, I say, soon…
