Torrid is a fantastic store and it's a shame that there aren't more stores like this everywhere. It's crazy how much society has really made people believe that you must be skinny and if you're overweight, there aren't many options for stylish clothes. It is really messed up. That being said, Torrid is a small store in the Asheville mall that has really fun, stylish, fashionable clothing.
Every time I've been into Torrid in Asheville, the staff is super friendly and helpful. They're always happy to chat and help finding proper fitting clothes. I love that when you start grabbing clothes that you're interested in, they will put it a dressing room for you and write your name. That always makes me feel taken care of (even if it's just their policy, haha).
My only complaint about Torrid is that it is a bit overpriced. I can't really afford to shop here. Unfortunately there isn't much competition when it comes to plus-size clothing, so they can mark things up. They sell clothing that is very well-made and nice cuts that are made for curvy bodies. read more
