Torrid

Being curvy it can be difficult to find clothing in my size and not all larger sizes are made alike. Get in the fitting room and try on the things that catch your eye and then some. The ladies at Torrid will help you find those perfect must-​have items for your wardrobe that flatter your figure and help you look fabulous!
Now I know that some have commented on the fact that the clothing appears to be geared more towards a Gothic look, but I think if you dig a little deeper one will find that the clothing is more retro than goth. Every piece of clothing is subject to the interpretation of the owners own personal style and flare. Dress things up or down as you’d like.
Being that I’ve lost some weight I am having a hard time finding my size (1x is more common that I previously knew) in the items I like but if need be the associates will check other stores and get that item transferred for you.
I always have to stop into this location when visiting Orland Square Mall.

I still love them, and I still think that they’re the greatest Torrid location ever! I wanted a dress that they had on sale ($ 20 off!!) but the only one they had in my size was a little beat up (a spot where some of the sequins were falling of, looked like it was stepped on or something ???) so the sales associate, mere minutes before they closed, offered to check around the area stores to see who had the same dress, then said that they can have it transferred FREE OF CHARGE! Jackpot. Within a week, I received a call and had my dress. And boy, am I going to wear the hell out of that dress! Thank you, Torrid in Orland Square!

The staff at Torrid in Orland Mall is so much friendlier than those at Chicago Ridge however every time I go and am looking for something in a particular size they don’t have it (mainly the shoes & lingerie). And the store is always so neat.

A friend of mine took me to this location of Torrid at Orland Square Mall since I wanted to look at some clothes for women that had thicker builds or were full figured. My only issue was the style of clothes because half the stuff was mostly gothic in nature. Plus there’s a limit on certain styles of clothes for women of larger sizes like skirts and tops. Personally I don’t think baby mini skirts are appropriate for women that are over the size of 24 with thick waist lines and hips.

I know I most definitely could blow a whole pay check or two in this store alone. My sense of style is not one of the nature girl or fashonista. This store is geared toward a Gothic look for larger sized people. And I can’t live without it. I have gotten Halloween costumes from here for the past two years, and a great amount of my everyday wardrobe came from this store. If you are ever in the need for knee high patent leather stiletto boots, or a silver studded belt (I have three of them), or anything of this nature, this is the place to shop. And I am very excited because very soon they will be opening another shop in the Westfield Shopping Town (Formerly known as Chicago Ridge Mall), which is much closer to home. Well, there goes next weeks paycheck!
