In Full Swing is an exceptional clothing boutique run by women for women in the heart of Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood. It's a convenient, comfortable way for plus size gals to shop for a variety of clothing that will not only fit correctly but be stunning as well. Sharon and her crew are experts at providing each shopper with a personal touch whether that be a hands-on or hands-off experience, or somewhere in between. And Sharon has her store chalk-full of possibilities that fit any budget, from designer fashion to consignment. I adore shopping at In Full Swing and truly believe you most likely will too!

I love In Full Swing - one of my favorite places to shop! The clothing is gorgeous, ranging from casual to elegant, simple to sumptuous. Sharon and the staff are always gracious, warm, welcoming, very knowledgeable about the various lines of clothing, and they make it a pleasure to shop there. Highly recommended!

In Full Swing is the absolute best place to buy plus size clothing in the Bay Area! Sharon and her team make clothes shopping, which I usually hate, actually joyful! The individual attention, honest input, and focus on your individual style is unprecedented. And their clothing is gorgeous and fabrics divine!

I have been shopping here since our kids were at UC Berkeley. I always was able to find stylish clothes there. Since we now live quite a distance away, I look at their weekly emails instead of browsing in the store. I have found many tops that I've ordered. The tops arrive promptly after I order them. They wrap it in soft tissue paper and it arrives wrinkle free. All of their products are of high quality and I get many compliments.

I absolutely love In Full Swing! Sharon (and the entire team) are delightful and have your best interests in mind as you try on the chic, fashionable clothing. They are honest about what looks good - there is never a hard sale. The dressing rooms are large with good mirrors so you can really see how you look. The customer service is outstanding! If you are looking for clothing that will make you look and feel good I highly recommend In Full Swing.

This is a gem of a shop for those of us who are larger in size. It has been my go to shop for 20 years. The variety of clothing, in both style, fabric, and occasion, is amazing. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful but not pushy in trying to make one buy something. If you haven't yet visited In Full Swing or if it has been a while since you have I suggest you do. Have fun!

The service and help you get at the store is fantastic I have been going there for 2 years after a friend recommended it to me. They have an expansive selection of brands that are unusual and not found in the Mall stores. The products are well priced and they wash and wear well. Since I have switched to buying their clothes, more people notice and pass comment on how great I look , which is a total added benefit. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.

In full swing is by far my favorite store but also one of my favorite places just to come hang out in the east bay. Sharon is extremely welcoming and kind, and there are always so many fun people trying on clothes and asking each others opinions. It's just a welcoming sweet place. Not only is it fun to visit, but I have started dressing so much better since shopping here. My clothes fit better so they are more comfortable and they look better than they used to. The clothes in stock are all really high quality and have held up well over the years I've been shopping at this store. It makes it easier to spend more than fast fashion prices because you know the pieces have longevity. I hope other plus sized people in the Bay Area find this place, it's really a gem. I feel more confident and comfortable than I have in years due to shopping here.

I was invited to officiate my dear friends' wedding and had not purchased any clothes appropriate for such an occasion in at least a decade. I had nothing that would fit me, nothing that was comfortable, and nothing that felt worthy of this opportunity in my wardrobe. I was a bit anxious about setting out to find an outfit which would meet these seemingly simple criteria, especially since I have never enjoyed shopping for clothes at any time in my life, even when finding sizes that fit me was significantly easier to do. I did a bit of research and decided to start my search at In Full Swing. I screenshot pieces I found on the In Full Swing website which I thought I might like to try on, noted that they were listed as in stock at the shop, and headed over to see if anything would look decent on me. I believe the person who assisted me is named Linda, and she was tremendously encouraging and helpful. I had no idea what sizes to try on, since I have been living in yoga pants and t-shirts for the past seven years, but Linda got me sorted right away. Within fifteen (yes 15) minutes, I had found the perfect outfit and felt overwhelming joy and relief. I thought I'd be starting my search at In Full Swing, but in fact I had started AND ended my search there. I wore the outfit to officiate my friends' wedding, and they said it was absolutely perfect -- even more aligned with their vision of their magical day than they ever could have imagined. And the pieces are so well made that I can see myself wearing them on many joyous occasions for years to come. THANK YOU, Linda and In Full Swing. I'll be back!

completely unaffordable plus-sized clothing (better alternatives can be found at stores like H&M or even online), outdated (there is no reason for you to look older just because you are plus-sized), and I was very noticeably followed throughout the store (it was extremely noticeable because it's not that big of a store and they checked every rack I had looked at once I had walked away). I am all for supporting small businesses but I will definitely advise folks to not shop at a store that follows POC customers around and tries to overprice clothing for plus-sized folks (which many big businesses already do).
