Review from Crystal H.

Updated - 9/28/2010 1 Check-in Here
It's been a while, and not much has changed at Spoof. It's still small and simple, the sales associates still let you know about the deals and the clothes are still cheap and compliment provoking.
Cotton style blazer that travels without creasing - $20; black tights (the gray ones I bought 3 years ago still look fabulous), $10; plus an assortment of $13.99 shirts and dresses to stack my wardrobe.
Yup - you still rock my frugal world.
Current hours are 10-10 but I've been told they'll be changing these soon. And there's rumors of a website in the works too!Listed in: Shopping in Vancouver: A right…, 'Cos I'm Just a Girl, When I'm Out of Town, Toronto Musing

Every time I visit Toronto I make a pit stop at Spoof. I discovered a backless top/dress that I wear… Read more »

cheap clothes, and the owner's mother is absolutely godawful. Horrid old lady who is rude to customers and to her employees.

The first time my friend and I found this place, we turned to each other with wide-eyed "I-can't-believe-we-found-this-place" looks. Cute, lacey, gaudy floral-print cotton dresses! (We visited during the summertime.) Low, low prices! ($14) Greedily, we snatched six or seven dresses each and made a dash to the fitting rooms. The cheery sales assistant gave us a hand, tying sashes around our waists and exclaiming "Cute!" along with us.
In due time, the novelty of Spoof has worn off. That first visit was the one and only time I ever made a purchase there. There are more exciting places in that part of town. -

I agree with most of the other yelp reviews that it is:
1. cheap
2. one size fits all
3. interesting not too standard clothing choices
BUT
1. the quality is CHEAP
2. no returns/refunds
3. sales people are shit annoying
Better quality clothes can be found elsewhere at the same prices.Listed in: T to the O dot

I absolutely love this store! Can't walk on Queen St without popping in!
The sales people are extremely nice and friendly and do not hesitate to lend a hand.
I bought a couple dresses there but one that I really liked was missing a thread, easily fixed, but they offered a 10% discount which I thought was nice since it was already on sale.
The dresses are cheap ($10-$15), classy and fit very well (one size fits all) if you range from an xsmall - medium. Yes, the quality is a bit cheap compared to Le Chateau but really, I'd rather spend $15 on a dress I'm only going to wear once than $100. -

Shouldn't this store be lodged in the bowels of some Chinatown multiplex? How do stores like this, on prime Queen West property no less, make money?
Most of the fashion pieces here are quite cheap -- the sign posted outside reads "$7.99 + up", but deals also include an entire rack that goes for $10. Most other items fall in the $30 range; even that's not asking for too much.
It specializes in a lot of parachute-like feminine shirts, creative cardigans, and some of those strangely cut garments with weird suspender straps and oddly placed bejewelled items straight from Asia. Totally suits the need when you're looking for that super cheap after-work item or librarian cardigan but not wanting to look like 85% of the population that shops at H&M or Old Navy. -

If you don't know about this place, you have been sleeping! Spoof is the one-size, multi color jersey heaven! They have those long shirts that can double as a dress for clubbing, no logos, no sizes, no fuss. You will like this place if you are great at accessorizing an outfit.
Tip: Get the black in everything. Trust me. -

I concur with my fellow Yelpers! This is one shopping spot not to miss. Again I was lured by the adorable dress/shirt in the window with a pink sash. It was$31.99 Canadian w/ $5 pink sash which rounded out to about $36 USD. Definitely hand made and unique which was something I was looking for while shopping Queen Street West. The salesgals were totally helpful and unobtrusive. They had a lot of tops and dresses and even some really cute funky skirts. I wished I'd had more time to search the racks...sigh....next visit!
