Fit For A Queen occupies a storefront on Quioccasin Road in Richmond’s West End, in Suite A of a retail strip not far from the Willow Lawn and Libbie Grove shopping corridors, and it markets itself point blank as the only consignment boutique in the Richmond metro area built exclusively around plus size women. Clothing on the racks starts at size 14 or extra large and runs up through size 30 plus, shoes begin at size 8, and the accessories wall covers handbags, jewelry, scarves, and similar pieces, all secondhand and consigned by the very women the shop is designed to serve.
The store’s tagline, real women, real curves, real budgets, doubles as a fairly literal description of its business model. Rather than treating plus sizes as an afterthought squeezed into the back corner of a general consignment shop, Fit For A Queen built its entire inventory strategy around that range from the start, which has made it a destination not just for Richmond shoppers but for customers who make the drive in from Charlottesville and Fredericksburg specifically because comparable dedicated plus size consignment options are hard to find in those areas. That reputation earned the shop a Best Consignment Shop in Richmond, VA distinction from local voters, a recognition that reflects both the curated inventory and the styling guidance staff are known for giving customers on the floor.
Store hours run Monday through Wednesday and Friday through Saturday from 11 in the morning to 6 in the evening, with an extended Thursday schedule from 11 to 8 for shoppers who need an evening visit, and the store stays closed on Sundays. Consignment intake follows its own separate schedule, open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 11 to 5:30, so anyone bringing in clothing to sell should plan around those specific hours rather than general shopping hours. Sellers who consign regularly can join the shop’s Crown Club Members program, which is built around the consignment agreement available through the store’s consign with us process, giving repeat consignors a structured relationship with the boutique rather than a one off drop in transaction.
Because every piece in the store comes from real consignors rather than a wholesale buyer, the inventory turns over constantly and reflects genuinely worn, real world plus size fashion rather than a narrow retailer’s idea of what larger sizes should look like. That grounding in real customers, sizes 14 through 30 plus for clothing and 8 and up for shoes, is exactly what differentiates Fit For A Queen from general consignment shops that carry a token plus size rack rather than building around it.
Fit For A Queen is the Richmond, Virginia metro area’s only consignment boutique dedicated exclusively to plus size women, offering clothing from size 14 up through 30 plus, shoes from size 8, and accessories, all sourced through real women’s consignment.
