This is your place…read more Unsolicited critiques of my body and stature when you're trying to sell me your goods is not a winning sales technique. Here's a tip: I can figure out if something doesn't fit me all by myself. I don't need your insulting judgments to help me feel bad about myself. And what if I was there to buy a gift? Guess what, I won't be. Note: I did not purchase anything here. So I cannot speak to the quality of their goods. I'm only providing my experience with their salespeople. And since that's a huge part of the buying experience, I felt it necessary to leave this review.

This is another place I am hesitant to let out of my secret shopping destination repertoire, but I…read morethink you need to know about it. As Joy mentioned, there are some kick ass deals on sample size (6-6.5, and sometimes a dapple of size 7s too) designer shoes and there are occasionally clothes that I like too. I have to say, it can be very hit or miss. There is a whole room, albeit a small one, filled with shoes but sometimes it's all a bunch of stuff I don't like. That doesn't mean you won't find a gem or two. Also, with the clothes, to be honest the selection is usually more suitable to my mom's taste than mine, but they get some quality young people designers in there too. I would definitely add this place as a stop on your trip to DSW and Bridgeport.

Now that Lloyd Center Torrid closed, I have to go to the suburbs when I want to visit Torrid. Their…read morefashion is definitely geared to a younger demographic so there aren't many pieces that work for me. That being said, their black millennial stretch slacks rock! Not only are they incredibly comfortable, they are a true black and retain the color and shape no matter how many times you wash them. They have a good amount of stretch while still hanging nicely with a tailored fit, looser in the lower leg, with a comfortable waist. My only complaint is they need to lose the three hooks and replace with one snap or button. I have several pairs and they are my go to when I want to wear something a little dressier than jeans. Perfect for the office and they are fantastic for travel because they are lightweight, pack well, and don't wrinkle. This season they have a higher waist trouser version which I plan on buying. Torrid also has a lot of beautiful flowing dresses that are fitted in the waist and gently cascade over your hips. I'm a sucker for a good maxi dress and I have bought several. Their bathing suits are extremely supportive, well made and stylish. I've bought a few tankini tops and just love them. I swim laps for an hour every day and go through many suits a year because chlorine destroys them. The tankini top from Torrid has a modern geo pattern (not old lady patterns of ginormous flowers) with thicker material that holds its shape while holding in mine! The lace details at the chest give it a little sexy without being over the top. Gorgeous and wears beautifully. My only gripe is that I wish they did the standard sizing because it's just easier. They have adopted a 0-6 sizing which they say is easier. It's not! Every other store does 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, etc, and because their sizing is generous, it makes the translation challenging. More so when ordering online and you can't try it on. For me, I learned to translate their numbers to the standard and then go one size down. I'm not flattered by the illusion that I've gotten smaller! I could care less about the number, my focus is 100% on the fit regardless of size. This Torrid is conveniently located between a Lane Bryant, where I buy my bras, and Old Navy where I buy all of my compression leggings, so when I'm out this way, I stop in to see what the season brings. Torrid often has sales and I find the online sales are far better than what is in the store. But since I need to try things on and I refuse to pay shipping, I order online and have it shipped to the store for free. If I see something while I'm in in the store that I like, I always go to their website to see the online price, which is typically lower, and they will honor it. Staff is friendly and helpful. Store is clean and organized. Plenty of parking out front with other stores close by. Right off I-5 I now visit this store when I'm out in the Lake Oswego area.

Often I buy online, but if I need to exchange for a different size, this is where I go. Prices online are sometimes different, and by different I mean better because they offer different sales. The store always honors the online prices. This is true of all Old Navy brick & mortar stores. Here, they do it without hesitation and often the savings are quite large. Also, when ordering online, they give option for in store pick up to avoid the shipping cost. The majority of times, this is the store that has my desired item, in my size, in stock. So easy to make purchase online and request pick up here. The item is bagged and ready for me when I arrive. Parking lot right out front easy access on and off of I-5.

The cashier seemed completely unfamiliar with how to process a cash refund and spent several minutes calling for help.

Now retired, and the PDX outpost is gone, this location gives me my fix. Mapel's has lots of basics and layering pieces, which is perfect for me and our PNW weather. I tend to wear solid colors, so their styles work for me. They also have some prints, but I prefer solids. During my last visit, they had some very pretty sweaters, but this year's style is boxy, which doesn't work for my shape. They have a variety of jeans, a nice selection of winter coats and vests, plus there were holiday dresses and pieces on sale. Make sure to check out the clearance in the far back corner. Sprinkled amongst the clothing is some fashion jewelry and gift items. Always worth a stop, as you never know what you will find.

The clothing area is on the right and it's also a large space, neatly organized and easy to Andre and find what you need. During COVID days, they provide hand sanitizer, clean the counter and credit card machine between every customer, require masks, wear masks and limit your visit to dressing room to one time per customer. This is important to know! You can bring in up to 7 items but you can only use dressing room once per visit. Makes sense as they sanitize the dressing room after each customer, which takes time, and they hold cloths that are tried on for a certain time period before putting back on the floor. Thank you! So it's best to know all of this up front so you are selective on the items you need to try on and only bring those in for your one time access to fitting room Since I came to this store specifically to exchange a bra that I purchased online at an incredible price of $12.97, I made sure to prioritize the potential exchange bras in my count of 7 items. I knew this store was my best option for doing an even exchange, which they will only do with like items, because of their massive Caique department. Turned out to be my luck day as the bras on the final sale rack were buy one get one free. I found two bras for $14.97 so after my exchange, they cost me $2. Amazing deal! The Women working here are friendly, helpful and never made me feel rushed. They always start a room for you and help with sizing, getting different sizes and offering suggestions. They provide great customer service and I especially appreciate their dedication to sanitizing all service areas to keep us all safe during the Pandemic. Thank you!!!

All the pieces work together; if you buy black slacks, the black tops are the exact same shade of black. This may sound simple but it actually isn't! Matching blacks or grays or camels is a challenge. To me, this brand is "garanimals" for adult women. They offer lots of great travel clothes made in Jersey fabrics so they are soft, non-restrictive, comfortable and don't wrinkle! But the clothing here is expensive; for example, the wide leg Jersey pants are in the $229 range. For me, that's expensive! I used to wear these pieces when I traveled weekly for my job. Often I flew across the country or overseas and when i arrived at my destination, I was picked up and taken directly to a business meeting. Yes, that was my previous life! Wearing the travel pants and a jacket from Eileen Fisher ensured that I was polished and presentable upon arrival. Now that I don't travel for business meetings, I stop in the boutique once in a while to look at the new inventory but rarely do I purchase. I prefer more form fitting clothes with cuts that flatter, in colors, and clothing that is more unique. The boutique is bright, clean and well organized as one would expect at a high end shop. It is on the smaller size, but since it's dedicated to just the Eileen Fisher Brand, there is still a broad selection. The women working there are very knowledgeable and will help select styles that work for your shape and requirements. If they don't have an item in the store, they will order and have it shipped to you at no cost. And if you shop there often, they will even proactively call you when an item arrives that they think you will like.
