Torrid

SHOP WISELY AND KEEP IT CLASSY!
This store largely carries trendy items for the larger lady but if you look closely, you will find a couple of great basic pieces that you can actually add to your wardrobe. Remember that not everything that comes in your size is appropriate for you to wear.
When shopping, don’t feel that you have to settle for anything because there are so many options available if you are willing to take your time and shop carefully. Accessories and sweaters are always a great way to add a trendy touch without going overboard, (a cute hat, a maxi sweater and a cute pair of boots).
This store had nice basic sweater dresses, button up tops and jeans that are great wardrobe pieces and can be styled in a variety of ways. Focus on natural fabrics that will last a while, maintain their shape and can be laundered without falling apart.
The store also carries accessories like boots, jewelry and hats.
When it comes to dressing tastefully, remember that less is more!

The Torrid North Point Mall location closed. I’m not sure when it did but as of today October 11^th 2014 it’s no longer in North Point Mall. I was very sad to find out this news. The locations that are still open are The Cumberland Mall location, Town Center Mall, Locust Grove Outlet and the Snellville location. I absolutely love Torrid!

Customer Service was great, Great Location, Clean Store, Friendly, Great Selection! Very Impressed!

Not may favorite Torrid location but make the trip if Kennesaw is a little out of the way. The customer service here is not as friendly as the other location and the store is smaller so it does not seem as if they have more of a selection. Again, not my favorite I definitely prefer Kennesaw.

I have never had so much fun shopping for clothes! Normally I just buy clothes because I need something to cover my body, I never really found anything I loved or thought looked cute. At Torrid, everything fit and everything was cute and stylish, not old lady looking like all the other plus size clothes you see. This place is my new addiction. The girl who works there, Jennifer, is the BEST. She was so awesome. That is the best customer service experience I’ve ever had! My only complaint is that it is a little pricey, but for the chance to have some clothes I actually love for once in my life, it’s worth it.

Trendy-​Yes
Stylish-​Yes
Plus sized-​Yes
Overpriced-​Yes
Quality-​Hell No!

Having been to Torrid on several occasions, I must say that I have been really disappointed with both the selection and quality of their merchandise. Being a seamstress myself, I’m appalled at the poor workmanship and cheap materials in just about every garment I have looked at in the Torrid store… ESPECIALLY since the prices are so high.
They seem to be more interested in fashions that are «trendy» than in clothing that is flattering to a plus size figure. I’m all for being in «style», but not at the cost of looking good… if that makes sense.
Also, why in the world would a woman who is a size 12 or 14 shop at Torrid? They can find similar styles at Hot Topic for 10−20% less. Since when is a size 12 considered «PLUS-​Size»??? Since the store carries these «non-​plus-​size» garments, it leaves less space for a greater selection of true Plus-​size clothes.
One thing you definitely have to keep in mind is that the clothing is sized for JR PLUS. This means that they are made to fit a figure that is more straight up and down, than the classic hourglass figure.
Bottom line is, if I’m looking for something that falls into more of the «costume» category, I have more luck at Torrid than if I’m looking for clothing for real life and work.

So, here’s the thing…
3.5 stars.
Being a stylish big girl, I happen to know where all the spots with stylish plus sized gear is, and Torrid is my fail-​safe for when looking for stylish clothes in a pinch.
Torrid is owned by Hot Topic, and suffers from the same problems you can expect from Hot Topic stores, the merchandise mix is insane with no rhyme or reason, the quality of Torrid’s own private label leaves something to be desired. The quality is on par with Forever 21 but at higher prices. You can expect most pieces you purchase to start falling apart after a handfull of washes.
Torrid’s private label lingerie and bras don’t fit as well as pieces from Lane Bryant. While the price is cheaper on these items, the construction of their undergarments are poor, the quality of the materials is cheap, and they simply aren’t worth the money. I have however found a few pairs of adorable ruffled burlesque panties here… however, most of the proportion on the clothing here is off, the armholes on most garments end up being huge, so I have to alter them myself, the bust measurements of most pieces aren’t accurate to the size on the label, and don’t get me started on the weird unexpected lengths on skirts and pants.
The customer service at this store leaves you wanting, on every visit I’ve had to seek out employees to open fitting rooms for me after holding a stack full of garments, waited in long lines, and had to navigate through a store of overstuffed racks of mishmashed clothes.
Still, when looking for a cute top for a night out, I know I can visit and find what I’m looking for, but I don’t expect stellar customer service or quality. I know I can find reasonably priced leggings and tights here, and a huge selection of trendy belts and accessories.

Torrid is owned by Hot Topic and sells a wide range of clothing styles. From club wear, to work wear you can find pretty much anything your heart desires here. They have cute stuff for when you wanna go out to a club, and nice dresses for special events.
The one thing I don’t like about Torrid is the quality of their clothes. I have had some of my Lane Bryant clothes for several years and it still looks brand new. Most of my Torrid clothes are falling apart even though I haven’t had them that long. The price points are slightly higher than those at Lane Bryant and their bras don’t fit as well. Still, this is a good place to get fun clothes if you are a bigger girl.

Who said big girls couldn’t be fashionable? Full Figured Fashionistas sized 12 to 26 Torrid has finally arrived. Torrid is an extremely fashionable and trendy clothing boutique for plus sized young gals from teens to thirty five. Sort of like a Forever 21, Level X, Charlotte Russe everything is flashy, spicy, sassy and well put together. Even the mannequins are full in size.
Although Torrid can be compared to other plus sized Lane Bryant and Ashley Stewart, Torrid is spicy, flashy, sassy, overly feminine and everything but matronly. Its more than just colors, it’s the cut, style and design. Casual, work, denim, shoes, tops, bottoms, dresses, jewelry, hosiery and even lingerie are available at Torrid. The best part is the assortment is affordable and quality filled. Several of my plus sized friends love this place and even purchase garbs online. To get in the know go to
. They only have two the metro area in North Point and Town center Malls.
