Absolutely fantastic. I came here for the first time with my sister today, and the staff are so welcoming and ready to help. The store had a wide variety of styles, and the aisles are wide enough for walkers and some types of wheelchairs.
There’s three fitting room stalls, at the back left of the store. One of them is a little bigger and was great for my walker- two mirrors in each stall so you can see the front and back of anything you try on, plus benches for sitting and plenty of hanger hooks.
There was also a nice strong fan sitting on the floor under their rehang rack outside the fitting room stalls, and chairs placed at the ends of multiple aisles in case you get tired.
There were also a lot of clearance clothes- I think three different sections? I remember a designer clearance near the entrance, and then a huge section at the back right of the store. There were also reminders on what the tag discount colors were in the larger fitting room stall.
They have a decent lingerie and shoe section, as well as purses scattered on multiple walls with hats/scarves. There’s a small jewelry section near the two registers at the front.
Everything is incredibly well-maintained, clean, and well-lit. Unfortunately a small section of the store is inaccessible for wheelchair/some other mobility aid users, as there is a small flight of stairs to reach it.
In terms of location accessibility, there is some nearby parallel street parking.
It was a fantastic first trip there, and I am definitely going to be shopping here and introducing it...
Read moreGreat -- possibly only? -- plus size shopping in Seattle. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, and while I don't always find exactly what I'm looking for, I definitely find at least one thing I can't live without. I recommend asking for help if you're looking for something specific; I was in recently because I will be attending a wedding and needed either a pair of shoes to go with my dress options or a whole new outfit. (Gotta be flexible when shopping consignment 😉.) I walked out with sandals (for the wedding), a purse, two shirts, a pendant, and a birthday gift for my niece -- who is not plus-size, but purses are luckily OSFA. If you find something that you're unsure of, take a picture of the label; if you decide you can't live without it after you've left, email them the photo and they will hold it for you! It's also a great way to find new brands. I saw some really cool items not in my size, but I took photos of the labels and I can look them up and do some...
Read moreSuch a gem! After having no luck finding styles I liked in my size at thrift stores in the suburbs (while also spending hours and hours sifting through racks), I made the trek down to Two Big Blondes, and I'm so glad I did. I found so many great pieces to try on, and went home with a major wardrobe refresh.
Lisa, the owner, was very friendly and helpful, and clearly cares about her customers' experience. The shop was neat and organized without the racks being overcrowded. I went on a hot day, so it was a little toasty without A/C, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a fan in the dressing room. As a consignment shop, the prices are higher than thrift stores, but it was absolutely worth every penny for the selection, quality, and shopping experience.
It's been a long time since I've felt good after a shopping trip and even longer since I've been excited about my clothes, but no more! Two Big Blondes will be my first stop for future...
