My wife and I were out shopping at the Mall of America and getting in some steps. We browsed in Victoria secrets for quite awhile as she was looking for bras for herself and her girls as they were 50% off. I did not need anything as my bra drawer is very full. 

I have read many articles on here about the store Torrid but never seen one. Well MOA has one. We went in and spent over an hour in there and she selected a number of tops there for me. It was so great for her to pick out things and give her opinion   Even though we have different tastes in clothes.  It was Awesome !!  Now to have a try on dress up night 

 very impressed with Torrid’s styles and pricing.  If you have one close, check them out !

@leah63 Here in the UK, I visited a branch of Matalan for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. It was on Boxing Day, accompanied by my sister. My reaction was similar to the one you've just had to Torrid ... wow!

So many nice stylish clothes, the magic combination of low price and good quality, and all really well laid out and displayed. I came away with armfuls of stuff. Even better, they weren't things that I subsequently just shoved into drawers. I love everything that I bought, and am wearing it regularly.

It's definitely a store that I'll make a beeline for in future 🙂

@ellyd22 I have shopped in Matalan for years now the prices as you say are excellent and style and quality are very good. Have bought many a dress, skirt, tops and heels there. I buy most of my lingerie from M&S or Next but if looking for something sexy I do buy at Ann Summers they tend to have naughty there.

@coleencd M&S & Next remain my two go-to places for most things, both online and in person ... though I do have a weakness for River Island as well (especially after I found out that they're more than happy to let me try things on in store).

I have to say that I haven't tried Ann Summers. Marks & Spencer is about as naughty as I get (for US readers, that's about a 1 on a naughtiness scale of 1 to 10).

@ellyd22 Matalan is a great store for everyone, seriously recommended for those in the UK, oh and Evans, Ive had some lovely clothes from them, especially good for us larger ladies!

On an other note, I've noticed a theme with regards to your shopping.....might I recommend "Shoppers Anonymous"!

@helenb Sorry I took a while replying. I've spent the morning putting eight IKEA wardrobes together, and then I had to move several piles of clothes before I could get to the keyboard.

What was that you were saying about 'Shoppers Anonymous'?

@leah63 We love Torrid stores always visit them when we are in a bigger town, good deals and nice quality.  My wife just bought me new stockings and a new garter with our torrid rewards points. Online sales are big.

I'm a huge fan of Torrid. I will be spending a great deal of time and money there once I am single.

@leah63 We love Torrid, my wife just ordered a nice cardigan for me to wear to wear with my new sun dress.  We have shopped in person at the mall at an out of town Torrid and ordered on line.  I like the stores because my wife feels comfortable shopping for stephanie there.  Recently she ordered a me a new garter belt and stockings.  When I first came out she bought me some bras and matching panties,  satin lounge wear and some other things.  A Fun store to visit and no problem trying things on.

I cannot agree more with your opinion of Torrid.  As a plus plus girl, I am limited where I am able to shop, especially if I wish to shop in person.  Torrid, however, is one of those plase that carries clothing that is not only in my size, but also in my style.  Their prices are affordable, and the sales associates are very welcoming all around,

The nearest Torrid store to me is 30 miles away. Bit of a hike for me, so I tend to use their website. I do like the store for the larger sizes, especially since I can get 13W shoes and items like anklets & bracelets that fit my larger bones wrists & ankles.

We have a local Torrid store here and I really like them. I think the regular prices are high, but it seems like there are always sales going on. Half of the sales people there recognize me and I’m totally comfortable shopping there en fem or drab mode. I still do most of my fem shopping at second hand stores, but several of my cutest pieces, I got at torrid. The biggest advantage of torrid for me is footwear. I can actually find shoes that fit my feet there!

You American girls always give good reports on Torrid, funny name name for a store but it seems it is relentless as the name suggests.

In the U.K Matalan is one of a number and I have found that T.U. at Sainsburys and George at Asdas to be hunting grounds for good clothing at reasonable prices, especially the reduced rails. Apricot is another gem too for me. As for the smalls it seems I have found mine online although the stores have a few choices. As for something more racy that is more of a dream than reality as I am more Utility than sport nowadys.

We have several Torrid stores here in Atlanta.  I also purchase from them on line.

Torrid is where I buy almost all my shoes.  Their shoes come in a true wide width and are made to accommodate larger feet.  Their construction is of excellent quality and well worth the money.  Their shoes tend to run on the larger side, and it is best to go to a Torrid store to see which size fits you best, before ordering on line.  Returns are quick and easy and can be done at a Torrid store or shipped back to Torrid.  Using the Torrid size chart may help some.  

I buy summer sandals at Belk, because they are of high quality, but it requires a trip to the store to ensure a correct size fit.  However, Torrid offers summer sandals too. 

I have found a few cute dresses at Torrid, but it pays to watch for their sales. 

They are very CD friendly!

I love Torrid, the staff is always very nice.  It feels amazing when walking to the fitting room and seeing your name on the door.  I just love going there.

Hi dear ladies. 

I want to vent and share my frustration. Sorry if I abuse your patience, but maybe you can help me. Thanks to the great comments I have read here before I was encouraged to open an account on Torrid. They sell my sizes. It started a nightmare. Buying from Torrid online was a terrible experience for me. I can't keep it inside of me. Torrid's staff have been friendly but  inefficient. They don't even respond anymore.I warned them I will tell my friends about my experience. They canceled every order even after the charges had been accepted. They start processing it and cancel it a day later. I have not had any similar problems in my purchases on other sites. I already gave up and have bought what I tried to buy from them in other stores.

Someone knows how can I delete my Torrid account? I have tried in vain. 

Thanks.
