I had a great experience with Taylor and wanted to give her a shout out. I was visiting from Cali for a family wedding, and had just came from the Windsor store in the same mall because I was looking for a dress to wear to said wedding.
All I have to say is...Windsor ain't it.
Tell me why the largest size Windsor has is a L, and I'm thoroughly convinced it's either a large for a child, or potentially a junior. I am a grown woman and nothing there fits me. Like girl...no.
I was pretty sad because I had high hopes I'd find something semi-formal at Windsor, and now I was at a loss as to when, where, and for how much I'd find something somewhere else. I found Torrid a little further down the mall, which I was also kind of worried about because in the past I'd been too small to fit into their sizes, but given the day's previous events, decided to give them a try. The next stop was sifting through the racks at Ross hoping to find something.
I'm glad I stopped in here first :)
Taylor was very kind, understood my situation, and was able to find me a couple items that matched what I was looking for, that fit me. She was super encouraging and an awesome hype woman the entire time, checking on me and offering different solutions for dresses I liked but they didn't have my size in stock (I needed the dress like the next day so I couldn't wait, but it was super appreciated lol).
None of that "ugh, you're too small to even be in here" crap
(I'm looking at you San Bernardino Torrid -__-).
Turns out I'm currently a 00 in Torrid sizes. I was able to walk out with a dress I loved, and the best part is that IT HAS POCKETS!! OMFG I can't even tell you how happy that makes me.
My weight does tend to fluctuate all over the place, and I may again one day not be able to fit into the sizes, but I can def say that as long as I do, I will keep Torrid in mind. At the very least, they have super cute accessories, and Hello Kitty items at times!
I had gotten turned off to Torrid from that previous experience (while in the store looking at a super cute Hello Kitty purse when I was size S), but I'm glad it was a one-off experience and the associates and atmosphere (at least at this location) are welcoming and super awesome.
Thanks guys! read more
