So my local Target got their plus size section back, all the Pure Energy collection....



Target got the revamped Pure Energy line in. It’s alright. The swimsuits were hit and miss. A few suits are missing the youthful element. Saw a few cute swimsuits. Was disappointed with the quality of other things. They seriously couldn’t make a real blazer. IT was a ponte one. And the work pants came in 27 inch inseams. Though I like they’re doing inseams now maybe carry more than one?

On the bright side that could be money spent somewhere else.

Last fall was rocking a warm weather crop top I made myself by removing it from the bodice of a fug 80s dress. Any of yah'll taking the crop-top plunge this spring and summer? Saw a little thing in Fashionista about a size 12 girl saying she found a way to wear one by obviously wearing something high-waisted.

I've never ordered from them. Is the quality nice? sizing accurate?
Way better than Torrid's and the sizing is accurate 90% of the time.

I enjoy the quality a lot! Torrid makes you shift through piles of their crap to find quality. I know when I buy a dress from CCO it at least comes with a lining.

Absolutely Torrid!
Hi ladies I'm from Australia and will be travelling to the US later this year (briefly LA [probably no time for shopping], San Fran, Seattle, Chicago and most of the time will be NYC) I was just wondering if anyone can recommend good, plus sized (I'm guessing US18-20) shops (with an actual store, not just online), with affordable clothes to suit a mid-20something?? Thanks!!

Found a nice op-ed on plus size shapewear. They mentioned a brand called hookedup, where your bra hooks up to the shapewear and keeps it from rolling down! I love this idea!

Okay i worked at Torrid for a few months n i tell you from the bottom of my Hills the clothes look horrible for the shorter women (Muah) or the average height any size under 14 just dnt fit right. Soory i will never shop there again. you can shop at just about any store and find plus size clothing
