Ugh, I love a lot of what torrid has... but you are totally right about the sizing!Sometimes, I try on something there and it's like, "Oh, this doesn't look too horrible.", but it's not worth the money if it doesn't look like you could wear it and feel comfortable
The other thing is that, while some of the clothes may be respectable looking if worn with a coat or shrug, they just make me look trampy :"(
Like I said in my previous post, everything I buy that is technically my size- as in, designed for my measurements- makes me look flabby. Then, if I move to the next size up, it fits me like a burlap sack. I end up usually buying stuff that almost fits, and then doctoring it and making changes so it looks good. (i.e.- I have serious scarring on my arms, so if I buy a short sleeved shirt, I will sew on long sleeves under it to give it a layered look.) My family is also below poverty level income, and that makes it all the harder to buy ritzy clothes. Usually though, i end up going to goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul society, or the Salvation army stores for clothes. I occasionally get lucky and find a nice top or something, but it almost always needs to be altered. Needless to say, we are also rummage sale junkies
Thanks for the comment though!
(P.S.-Have you ever noticed how plus sized shirts tend to be WAY to short?)
