Great People, Great Clothes, Great Location!

by Coquette63 at Citysearch

I have been going to Go Figure for some time now and believe that it's the best store for the plus-size girl in San Francisco! Carolyn (the owner) is a great gal and all of the staff is very helpful. There is a back room which is like checking out your favorite girl friends closet - - chuck full of fabulous finds at great prices. I also patronize this store because I believe wholeheartedly in supporting local boutique stores.

• Pros: Great clothes, Great people, Great location
• Cons: none

This Mother of the Groom Looked Sensational!!!!

by pattyjo at Citysearch

I was desperate to find a unique outfit for my son's wedding. I had NOT lost weight and had waited until 2 months before the wedding to shop! I surfed the net and found Go Figure. I drove 52 miles to check out the place and was amazed at what I found! The wedding was to be in Israel - which means it was going to be HOT and Humid in July! I was also expected to be formally dressed! Now, you know why I was desperate. I found a perfect outfit for the big event and also all my travel clothes! The staff is great and even ordered a dress for me in the correct size in time for the trip. The sale racks are awesome!! I did not look like a typical "mother of" - I was stylish and comfortable and proud of how I looked! Thank you to Go Figure!! I will be back...my daughter gets married in November!!

Artistic & Elegant Plus Size Clothing

by Meridissimo at Citysearch

It's the "little store than can." The store is not wide but it is very deep. The staff friendly and knowledgeable and an amazing selection! Great variety of distinct and unusual styles -- clothing includes dresses, separates -- you'll find something to wear for play, for casual and work and elegant dressy styles. Lots of accessory items as well -- but absolutely exquisite and artistic selections in jacket & kimono styles. Be sure to check out sale racks in the back of the store -- you'll kick yourself if you don't.

• Pros: Huge selection and price ranges
• Cons: Parking can be a challenge; 2 Clement is a good option.

Great store for plus sized fashion!

The Richmond District's Go Figure store is a boutique for plus-sized women. I love their styles and esp. their clearance racks. Worth checking out. :)

Big Girls, Don't Cry!

by briz47 at Citysearch

Here's the shop we all want to wallow in! The natural fibers and stunning colors of the lines that Carolyn picks for this shop are wonderful. Do you like the feel of soft cottons and linens in your casual wear? Do you want to wear fabulous silks like Doris Roberts did on "Everybody Loves Raymond"? Try the Citron Line! No matter what you choose -- from lingerie to accessories -- Go Figure will please you.

The clothes are sophisticated, well made and stylish without being trendy (not everyone wants to wear lace and empire styles, now, do we?). You can find the perfect dress or you can create an ensemble from the huge selection in this store. Don't miss the back room -- where Carolyn stashes her treasures at remarkable discounts. The staff is great, helpful at every turn.

Take your time, there's so much to see and try on. If you walk out empty-handed, I'd be greatly surprised. Lots of stores pay lip service to the plus size woman -- but Elisabeth is closed now (by Claiborne), as is Macy's Plus Woman and the department at Nordstrom holds slim pickin's! Don't waste your time there. Head for Go Figure! By far my favorite "big girl" shop in the Bay Area.

• Pros: Every "big girl" should shop here!
• Cons: Sometimes, there's so much stock, the mind boggles. Parking is always a challenge everywhere in SF!
