Off the shoulder in plus sizes
I’ve always been a bit put off by asymmetrics. Remember the appearance of the short in back/long in front dress in the early 90s? Yeah, those confused me. So do off the shoulder looks – on everyone. On plus sizes, there are some extra disadvantages if you’ve got some chub hanging off your armpit,... »
Torrid takes a page from Mad Men
It seems to me that men in the 60s liked their women a little bit curvier. My problem? The men, at least as far as I can tell, may have dressed better but they sure weren’t more likable. But the clothes were good! Share on Facebook »
Torrid…whatcha doin’? Edgy plus size clothing
I’ve always had the sense that Torrid has something specific in mind with its plus offerings, and that they’re headed a certain direction. And often, they will come up with something that I just love that’s a little more on the edge, but not so far that I’m afraid to wear it in public.... »
Torrid pants – play on volume?
I knew from following last year’s runway coverage that designers have intended to play with volume in pants and skirts, and this looks to be one of the toned-down-for-consumers off-runway looks. It’s certainly cute in theory and much better than a comeback of parachute pants, but it’s yet another look I need to... »
Superb Swimsuits at Torrid
While Torrid’s trendy designs of the past few years hit and miss with me (but I usually somehow end up buying from them at least once a year) their swimsuit line gave me the feeling about Torrid I had when the store first opened: just…WOW. A little bit vintage, a little bit punk, these... »
Torrid’s Response to Distress: Distressed
There are some old-school punk rockers rolling in their graves, or at least rolling their eyes. Torrid has brought in these distressed denim jeans: I’ve heard before from old-timers how those jeans deserve to be authentically stretched climbing fences running from the cops – and that they wouldn’t have a whole skinny-jean motif to them... »
Torrid with tulle
Torrid picks – these are great divergences from recent Torrid fare, though well within the bounds of Torrid styles. And only a Torrid designer could make tulle truly punk. Find more Torrid goods on Fat Chic search – and not just on Torrid website! Share on Facebook »
Sexy Fall Picks
When I was a teenager, my mother would cluck and tell me to put on something that wasn’t so off the shoulder/short and tell me I wasn’t yet old enough to be sexy. She burst out laughing when, after college, I appeared in something that was definitely revealing in nature (probably a corset top)... »
Torrid for Halloween
s si Image via Wikipedia Torrid’s been stepping up with some Halloween choices this year, and if you’re willing to pluck down around $100 for the entire ensemble, they’ve got some nice choices from a flight attendant to Alice in Wonderland. There’s also a few items – like this petticoat – that might find additional... »
