Two Big Blondes

I’m not a plus size-don’t hate me! I found a wonderful cashmere sweater, it was mismarked sizewise because it was from the UK. So, actually the size was about a 10 US. Snapped that one up– beautiful grey with a a bulldog knitted in and a pink bone. It was during the sale, so it was about $ 25. Great shop, I do wear a size 10 shoe so next visit it’s shoe time. My friend found some fabulous things, really nice quality and we’re going back when we can spend the entire morning finding goodies!

Today was my 2^nd visit and first semi annual sale. I went for the bag sale but when I saw the line when I got there half an hour before they opened I decided to skip the bag sale and just go to the showroom for the 25% to 95% sale. I was looking specifically for jeans and shirts. One of the sales ladies asked if she could help me find anything. I told her the style and size of shirts I was looking for and she went to find me some while I looked for pants. They have a huge selection of jeans but I was looking for inexpensive jeans and consequently found only 1 pair in my size. The sales lady returned quickly with 7 or 8 shirts for me to try. All were exactly as I had asked her for. I ended up buying 3 of them. I found 5 more shirts I had to have and my find of the day… brand new, tags still on sued jacket. $ 150 price tag from Lane Bryant. Store tag for $ 65, marked down to $ 48 for the sale. All in all, great experience, spent $ 135 and got tons of really nice stuff.

Huge shop with lots of inventory. Prices are a bit high, however, in my opinion. But I was able to find a brand new bra, in my size which is very difficult to find even on a regular store.

The staff is so great and they get to know your style and taste over time. You can even have them keep their eye out for you for your favorite things. Hey they even do layaway for those very high end bags I love so much. They love selling my clothing and I love using my store credit. I find the best size 11 shoes and boots, handbags to die for and a huge selection of 16 and 18 which I currently am. I am a smitten kitten when it comes to this magical little shop.

This place is amazing! Friendly, clean, tons of great styles… But did find ALOT of 14’s so if that’s you get a big cart and fill it up! Staff very helpful as well.

I make an annual trip here (from Virginia!) when I visit my family in Seattle. The clothing selection has a little of everything and I usually find at least 4 items I can’t live without. Super friendly staff and it’s easy to park in their parking lot next to the store (there is a lot of street parking too). The dressing room curtains gap a little because of the fans in each room but I’d rather be cooled down than 100% private. So far I haven’t been around for any of their sales but I bet they are incredible. Wear comfy clothes that you can easily get in and out of. I gather up any and all possibilities (even if the size is one or two sizes too big or small) and stash them in a dressing room (just ask! They’ll start a room for you gladly). I keep hunting through the whole store then try everything on at once. Everything smells clean and looks pretty great for used clothing. It can be pricy if you are only looking at designer items but that is true everywhere. When I checked out they mentioned that if you want to bring in 30+ items for consignment, you need an appointment. Overall: sweet people, great clothes, and a nice shopping experience that I have never seen anywhere else.

Was given a lot of shade today. Was there for over an hour and I got a hello when I walked in but no one asked if I needed help or to start a dressing room.

I would give this place a MILLION stars! I needed a total wardrobe overhaul. I dyed my hair and gained about 15 lbs and I was basically starting from scratch. I was NOT impressed with the current selection of flowy mumu tops available at most plus size stores. So, my bestie (also plus sized) and I went to check out Two Big Blondes and we were absolutely blown away!
Everything is clean and organized by SIZE. If you’re a thrift store junkie like me you know how valuable this can be. No sifting through a million yellow shirts just to see if there’s one that’s your size. And you don’t have to accidentally fall in love with that dress that will never fit you.
The clothes look new. They must have pretty high standards for what they will buy because everything I picked up was in great shape, with very light wear. Two of the items I purchased still had tags on them. I even bought a pair of brand-​new looking shoes, and I normally don’t buy second hand shoes.
The girls who work there are fabulous. Everyone was SO friendly and helpful! Normally at consignment shops I barely get a nod of welcome, but these girls were all about helping us find what we needed. After coming out of my dressing room to show my friend one dress which was cute but too big, one of the girls working there brought me another awesome wrap dress that I hadn’t seen before. They know what’s in their inventory a lot better than I do, so I was very grateful for the help and have never gotten that level of service at a consignment store before! Also all the girls who work there look really cute, which is important to me. It shows they care about their jobs and like their product. :)
There are tons of dressing rooms and the environment is fun and upbeat. There are like 10 dressing rooms lining two walls of the store, no dinky closets in the back with lines to try clothes on. We were there on a busy Saturday and were still able to grab two dressing rooms together. There is fun music playing and everyone is really happy and upbeat.
Prices are GREAT! I got a couple of wrap shirts, a sweater, a dress, a pair of jeans, and a pair of awesome black pumps for $ 177 without even shopping clearance racks. NOT too shabby!
Apparently they have great sales and layaway too. I’m sold. I love this place.

Loved loved loved this place! The customer service was friendly and personal… Marshawn was fabulous! I bought almost everything she brought me! The shop is set up like a boutique, and you feel like you are shopping at a boutique, not a resale shop.
I spent $ 150. I bought two pairs of trousers, jeggings, four tops, and put three items on layaway. Great selection of high quality clothing, nothing from Walmart, or the like. It was a drive from Everett, but worth it!

How have I not reviewed this place already? I love TBB to pieces. It’s a really fantastic place to get high quality items at a decent prices. It’s important to remember that this isn’t a typical chain thrift store, but a well stocked consignment store with more high end and gently used items than you’ll find at a thrift store. They have FANTASTIC sales. I’ve gotten brand name dresses for $ 5 or less in great condition on sale days. Go check them out!

The staff is always a pleasure! The selection is vast! And the prices are better than you would ever expect! Being a plus sized Drag Queen it can be hard to find things off the rack, forcing me to have custom items made all the time but once I found Two Big Blonds it changed things! Of course I still have a lot created for me but it’s nice to have options. I have even been able to bring in the rest of the cast from my show and completely costumed shows from the selections we found at Two Big Blonds! It can be a little nerve racking to be shopping for my alter ego as a boy but the staff always makes me feel welcome and appreciated, heck I’ve even had numerous occasions when more than one of the shop attendants have been acting as a personal shopper to help find what I was looking for. If you are a plus sized diva and are tired of NEVER finding something amazing in your size then you need to make Two Big Blonds a regular stop on your shopping trips, heck sometimes it’s the only stop you’ll ever need!
Sincerely,
Mama Tits

This place is plus size heaven. I came here on a trip from Portland, OR — and I will be coming back — maybe even for a special trip just to shop here.
Mona and Laura were super helpful, AMAZING.
I came in looking for something very specific, a 40s inspired dress and accessories. I was blown away at the selection — but what really made the visit great, they were so helpful! Not intrusive people — helpful!
I travel frequently so I check out local plus size shops all over the world, and I think they may have the largest selection of plus size consignment I have ever seen in my life.
The store is big — so if you get overwhelmed by that — do not despair, the ladies let me pull a mother load of stuff and stock it in my dressing room so that I tried on (over 25 items) at one time. And while I tried on — they helped me style what I was putting together with better pieces, accessories, etc.
Can’t say enough good stuff.

Excellent place to shop. You can literally find anything from a basic tank top to an elaborate wedding gown and *everything* in between. A huge range of sizes, brands, and prices. Shoes, lingerie, exercise clothing, formal, casual, accessories, jewelry, handbags, everything you could possibly want in plus size from 12W up…
The people that work at Two Big Blondes are really quite nice — I’ve been in many times, and each time, I’d had a great experience.
One of the best consignment stores I’ve ever been in. Truly worth going to, and there’s always street parking really close to the front door.

Just to clarify — it wasn’t a hot day, everyone was on the other side of the counter talking and looked in our direction as we came in. No one said hello. There was a fan going in one part of the store. But it was very muggy in there. I believe you have that many items but you did not have the size selection as advertised on your website. I understand you maybe the biggest in town but I was just saying you are nowhere the best. I am only one customer. I just wanted to share our experience.
I didn’t say we didn’t find our sizes. I was just looking and saw none of the larger sizes you said you had. If someone had said hello or even ask if we had a question, we might know about the wish list. Like I said I am only one non customer who won’t be back. I’ll stick to the free facebook groups online that you can sell and buy clothes without the middle man or coutinue buying new. There are other plus size consignment stores.

This store is incredible. I live in San Diego and visited family in Seattle and thought it would be nice to find a few outfits — I could have spent 5 hours in here. It’s HUGE. The selection is high quality, current, beautiful and the staff is beyond helpful. I’m actually on the smaller end of plus size (size 12) and there were still options for me. Plus they have everything from wedding dresses to shoes to accessories and a considerable sale room. The one star review is crazy — I’ve never seen selection like this and I’ve only lived in major US cities. Prices are great and they have regular sales. I’m just so sad that I don’t live closer or I’d be there constantly. But apparently they have an ebay store. :)

I love this place. There is a ton of clothes over size 16 so you can actually find something to wear that everyone else doesn’t have. It is like the opposite of most stores where the larger sizes are next to the maturity clothes and consists of 3 racks. This place has rack after rack of cute and professional clothes. They even have shoes, purses, jewelry, and hats for you skinny folks. The people of really nice and willing to help you find the perfect outfit — they are even honest if the color doesn’t look good on you. I have also consigned with them and sold most of the items. Their prices are very fair so you don’t get a ton of money for consigning, but you do save a lot of money when purchasing. Their selection of larger size wedding dresses is outstanding. I also really like that if they can’t sell something they give it to an organization that helps people without anything.

Great spot for finding clothes for larger women.
My only complaint is that they don’t seem to price items well. I’ve lost 60+lbs over the past two years and have brought in numerous loads of clothes (depending on the season) and I am consistently disappointed by their perceived worth, and then the checks I get from 2BB. Also, they price items after you leave them and send you an invoice, which seems kind of weird to me.
The really nice things that I thought other large women would be able to use, I take to 2BB. But for average stuff, I just donate them to Goodwill and take the tax-​write off — it’s a better deal and you don’t have to drive all the way across town.

I have a new favorite place to get my clothes. Good prices. Great Quality. Up to date fashions. And a lovely group of employees.
I was expecting to pay big bucks for my wedding dress, but found my dream dress here 50% off for $ 280. It is practically brand new and has an original design. There were 3 dresses total that I tried on and all looked fantastic! It’s usually a miracle if I can find 1 in any ordinary store.
I will return with pictures of the wedding and how wonderful the dress looked :)
For the last day I have been craving to go back and hunt some more for some great deals, can’t wait for my next day off so I can come back for some retail therapy!!!

This upcoming weekend is their amazing bag sale and although I will not be able to attend I did stop in this past week for the first time.
Shopping spree!
20 pieces of clothing later plus a new pair of water proof boots… wow. I spent about 10 – 20 dollars per item. Some of the clothes were still new with tags. I am a size 14 and the selection was incredible!
The clothes are not ‘hip’ or ‘trendy’ nor are they ‘vintage’. I think the clothes are good for job interviews and business conferences and semi-​professional events. I’m in my late 30’s and it was a good fit for me.
They have lots of wedding dresses. (I purchased a consigned wedding dress a long time ago in Chicago and was very happy to take they money I saved from buying a new dress and spend it on my amazing honeymoon… so I recommend buying a wedding dress here!)

Technically this is a plus size store, but it also has a large selection of shoes, jewelry, hats, scarves, makeup, and other accessories. It’s kind of like a clothing swap at somebody’s house.
For women who are taller (or who just happen to have larger feet), they have a large selection of shoes that are 9.5 or bigger.
Pants are separated by petite, regular, and tall. I really appreciated that — I hate finding pants that look awesome only to discover that they have the wrong inseam length.
Clothing is all size 12+. In addition to the usual thrift /​consignment store items (tops, jeans, blazers, cardigans, etc.) they also have wedding dresses, lingerie /​shapewear, swimsuits, exercise clothing, etc.
Style-​wise, it’s all over the map. There’s some really questionable 80s wear, some very cute & trendy designer clothing, some bland you-​can-​wear-​it-​to-​work-​or-​an-​interview items. Pricing is also all over the map — there had normally-​expensive items for $ 10 or less and a designer suit that was $ 542.
They have toys and a place for kids to chill and also have some benches for people who aren’t shopping to hang out.
It’s a consignment store, so if you have clothing in sizes 12+, you can bring it in and leave it for 100 days. They pay 40% of the sale price if you want a check or 50% of the sale price if you want store credit.
They seem to have some good sales — items are marked down if they aren’t moving quickly. I picked up an awesome DKNY blazer on the 50% off rack.
The owner was working the day I went in, so we chatted for awhile. One of the other Unilocal reviewers mentioned that she wasn’t plus size and got a funny look from the staff. There were several women who didn’t appear to be plus size who were checking out the shoes and accessories and nobody was giving them odd looks. The owner and employees all seemed really cool and chill.
