    Saw an ad in Performance magazine and looked up the website. Gorgeous clothes! Stopped in - was welcomed warmly by Cindra (sp?) and Michelle (owner). A wonderful experience, great service without pushiness. The clothes are excellent quality, very high-end, not necessarily for someone on a tight budget. I had lots of choices, found a couple of things that were just perfect. I know I'll be back!

    Abundance lives up to its name.

    This is a fabulous shop for a plus-size woman who loves clothes, loves fabric, and loves her body.  Clothing runs from moderately priced to rather expensive, and all comes with lots of personal service, knowledgeable encouragement, and respect.  

    While there are some conservative brands there (Eileen Fisher, etc.) there is also the wildly inventive, and the staff are helpful about suggesting things that you  might not try on your own (bubble skirt?  on ME?  are you kidding?  well..... hmmm.... I tried it and was dumbfounded.  I liked it.  And if I hadn't liked it, they would not have pushed it.)

    Abundance has the largest selections of Tianello and Vicky Vi separates and standards I've seen anywhere in sizes 14-26.  They've also got lots of wilder stuff (URU, some labels I'd never seen before) and it is FUN.

    It has been awhile since I visited LA but when I was back there over the Labor Day weekend I made it my first order of business to head to Abundance and shop for a special occasion dress. And I do mean it was my first order business - after picking up my rental car at LAX I immediately pointed my car north with my first stop being at Abundance.

    Of course, I found THE PERFECT DRESS and they were having a crazy sale so I also found lots of other fun, creative and elegant pieces that I gladly paid for and brought home with me to Palo Alto.

    Thanks to Michelle and the crew there for doing such a great job and providing women of fuller-figure a superb place to shop for sublime clothes.

    Abundance is the place to go if you are a plus size woman looking for excellent quality and gorgeous design.  As a young "fatshionista," sometimes I find Abundance's clothes a little mature for me, but nevertheless I respect the quality of the clothes and the obvious care that the buyers take with their selections.

    Every time I've shopped at Abundance the staff has treated me like a goddess.  They a wonderful women who understand a plus size woman's figure and will dress you in the best.

    I was visiting LA and needed a dress for a party! I'm a size 18 and in my mid-20's so it can be a challenge to find something cute and flattering. We first went the mall and it was a flop. Not from the area, I turned to yelp and typed in "plus size" near LA. I found Abundance and we began the 20+ min journey with traffic.

    I FOUND THE BEST DRESS! The woman who helped us was WONDERFUL! She listened to what I needed and pulled out a few dresses. As expected, some of the styles were a little to mature for me, but I found 3 possible dresses and even if they didn't fit, she said they could order it in my size. Well, I tried on the only one I really loved and even though I thought it was a size too small, it fit GREAT! It was even on sale TWICE! It was about $170 marked down to about $110 and then with the current sale, it cost about $85.

    Excellent experience. 5 stars easily. I'll be back next time I'm in LA!

    Like other shoppers here, I don't even live in Los Angeles, but I do find time to shop here anytime I am within 100 miles of this store.  I first stopped by their store in Beverly Hills, but they both carry similar items and this one is closer to my friend's house in Granada Hills.

    I can't begin to tell you how much FUN it is to shop here.  They really are service oriented and will push the envelope about what you might wear without actually pressuring you to buy something you don't really love.  And they don't have to use pressure sales tactics because I guarantee if you love fine fabrics and fabulous clothes you will walk out of here with plenty of great finds.  I wear a black and grey big shirt from here almost every week.  It's great for traveling.  I have a pair of Italian pants that are so lightweight they feel great even in the Las Vegas heat.  Save your pennies as long as you need to, but come and try on some glorious clothes.

    Maybe I've visited in the wrong seasons, but I've never found anything I liked here. I'm too old for Torrid, but I still like to have clothes that have some sort of shape to them. The stuff I've found here is great quality and smashing colors, but I've had a hell of a time finding something with a waist. As a top-heavy apple-ish/hourglass, the last thing I need is loads of beautiful fabric hanging from my bosom.

    If you don't have these requirements, Abundance is a good place to shop; the quality of their goods is probably unmatched by any retailer in LA. But if you need something with a silhouette a little more tailored, you may have to go elsewhere.

    My first trip to Abundance was like my first trip to Disneyland -- truly magical.  And, the folks at Abundance have never failed me.  They always have a terrific range of amazing styles that look and feel great, and have plenty of sizes to choose from.  So, instead of painfully paying for items that I don't really like (but fit), as I have in certain department stores, at Abundance, I always fall in love with many more items than I need, and end up having to choose which ones to leave behind.  It's a wonderful feeling.  Enjoy!
