With Torrid, there are some great styles, classic styles, trendy styles and nothing I've ever bought bunches up in the wrong places, falls down - I swear their designers have to be plus sized themselves. It can be off putting to think it's a Hot Topic owned store. But once you get inside, I have a fabulous pinup swimsuit that makes me look 20lbs lighter and a gorgeous red dress that fits so amazingly, you can't see a single roll of fat, front or back.
I even broke down and started getting my bras there. I'm hard to fit with a semi-flat chest so I got their push up. It's nearly impossible to find 40/42 B's or small C's. Nope, there I got a bra that puts them where they are supposed to be, adds a cup and somehow manages not to make it look like I folded my boobs into it. Not a fan of too many of their accessories but I ADORE my Johnny Depp/Crybaby T-shirt that flares on the hips and gives the fake appearance of curves for me!

The trick is to hit the sales though. Full price can be painful. I have divastyle (free) for a 5% discount, then I just combine the BOGO or BO get anything 50% off. I walked out with $400 in clothing for $150.
I like Torrid, but there isn't one near me, now, and I haven't ordered anything in a long time! I should check out what they have again soon. As a fellow plus sized girl, I have really great luck with ModCloth, Domino Dollhouse, and EShakti. (all three can be pricey, but generally worth it to me).
