I stopped into plus size pretty today, and I'm glad I did! I forgot to take pictures (sorry!), but…read moreit was incredibly cute in there. Full of color and fun wallpapers that make the shopping experience fun. The store is sorted mostly by size ranging 14-30+ with the majority of items being towards the middle of that range. There is a separate rack for lingerie/swimsuits/longer items. The majority of clothes on the racks were in season, and they mentioned that the store would be transitioning to fall soon. The fitting room is HUGE! There is plenty of room to try things on, a large mirror to view all the angles, and a fan (hooray)! The star of the shower is truly Angelina! She is not only passionate about her store but passionate about making sure you find something that suits you! She has such a bubbly personality and is so welcoming from the second you enter the store! She also hosts events, so be sure to check her social media for details! I would definitely encourage you to stop in and take a look around!

A beautiful space that specializes in plus-size clothing with larger selections with the most…read moreoptions in the larger spectrum of sizes. It's easy to get to, has an amazingly fun shopping atmosphere, and really feels like the owners behind the place really understand some of the frustrations plus-size people have had with clothes shopping - and tried to mitigate it as best as possible. Honestly, it's really fun to shop here! STUFF TO NOTE: -There's a parking lot right behind Plus Size Pretty. There's also free street parking on both sides of the street. Depending on how busy Broad is, you're looking at less than a block's walk. Tons of space when I parked on a Saturday. -The door to Plus Size Pretty is actually on the side of the building. It looks more like an employee entrance than the front door, so you might be confused at first. Look for the door labeled with their street number 924. -There are multiple chairs inside for easy seating. There are chairs inside with and without arms, and most of them look pretty sturdy. -If I remember correctly there are a few (just one or two!) into the store itself. Everything is flat, one-level once inside. -As far as I could tell, the store carries size 14-30+. The "+" is included, and they do have a section that's small, but there, for sizes over 30. The 14-16 section is probably the smallest. PROS -This place is so PRETTY. Easily one of the cutest clothing boutiques I've been in. It feels bright, welcoming, fun, and colorful. From the bold color choices to the pretty wallpapers and carpets and jewel-toned furniture, shopping here feels like a treat. -The dressing room is gigantic! Like, it's easily 6-8 times bigger than my bathroom at home. It's probably the size of my second bedroom. Tons and tons of space to try on clothing without ever feeling cramped. There are giant mirrors to see how things fit as well as a fan installed on the ceiling for staying comfortable. There are even feather boas in the corner that really make it feel like you're supposed to really be enjoying the experience. (Large, supportive couch and chairs in there too for getting into complicated clothing!) -All the clothing is sorted by size. This makes it really easy to stick with your size. Everything is really well organized and in its place too. I didn't see anything in the wrong areas. -All the clothing is pretty in-season. It's March, and there are no coats and sweaters out. Just like a standard clothing retailer, they've swapped over to lighter fabrics and swimsuits. There's a small section for formal outfits too, and I picked up a beautiful red evening gown for dirt cheap. (Okay, no real events to go to anytime soon, but when you find something that makes you feel like a million bucks and costs virtually nothing, you buy that!) -They also sell shoes (wide widths!), jewelry, tights, and more. You can get your accessories here alongside some new outfits. -The staff member here was sooooo helpful when I came out of the dressing room looking for opinions. They had so many compliments for me, and we talked about my body (and how it fit in the clothing) in non-destructive terms. Clearly, they were quite used to a lot of it, but it was really refreshing to not have someone comment on cellulite or shapewear. CONS: -I'd love to see more selection. That's, honestly, about it. However, the selection they DO have is in-season, current styles, and in good shape. I'd much rather see a slimmer selection that's great (which it is here!) than weed through a larger selection that's worse.

The ladies here are so attentive and love to give you an outfit make over :) they carry a large…read morearray of clothing for all sizes for that perfect going out fit!

Last year December 2022 I had a very bad experience with an employee at this location. So from…read morethat interaction, I decided to not be a customer at this location anymore . On December 30th 2023 I was shopping with family in Polaris and said what the heck let's give another go. This time I can honestly say I had some of the best customer service I've had in a long while. Every single employee that I engage with was super nice and very professional. Not to mention that the deals that were going on in the store at the time I was there were amazing I appreciate a good deal. It wouldn't have been fair to the establishment to write them off based off one distasteful interaction I had. The Customer Service alone is the reason why I decided to do another review and give a five star rating.

Don't forget to get the "take 10" card, and after you spend so many $10 amounts, you get a free $10. I believe it is 10 of $10s ($100 total). Comes in handy during Christmas time.

Their brand of jeans fit like a glove and are so comfortable. They also have Silver's which are really cool, but more expensive. Prices are moderate. I have close to zero fashion sense and the sales associate spent time with me picking out stuff to try on which I was sooo appreciative of. They also have a rewards card so you eventually earn money to spend. This is a great store with great clothes and customer service. I suggest trying a Maurices if you haven't!

This new location at the Greene has been a great move to Lane Bryant. The store is larger and…read morebetter laid out than the previous location and it has all the same wonderful employees. Dressing rooms are many and large and there is always someone offering to help. After I get a few items in my hands, someone always offers to come over and start a fitting room for me. Employees check on you and ask if they can get you anything and don't hesitate to get you a different size if you need it. Don't pass up the free bra fitting. It may be a bit awkward, but its over the clothes and always help you find the right size for you. My best friend looked at 10 stores for the perfect strapless bra for her wedding and had no luck until I suggested Lane Bryant for a bra fitting. Within 10 minutes she got a fitting, an employee found the perfect bra and she was happy. Also, if you like something but its not in your size or color (I tried on the green shirt, but really like the pink one), they will order it for you and send it to your door for free!! Also, free shipping to the store when you order online and a $25 coupon when you pick up!! Oh, and location, location, location!! I go shopping, and hubby goes to Pies and Pints right next door. He gets a beer or two and I meet him there when I'm done so we can finish our shopping. The parking is the only real weak point, but its no worse than when this store was located at the Mall at Fairfield Commons!

I've had a completely different experience than the other (current) reviewer. This Torrid has been…read morefantastic! I definitely have had to wait in lines before, but it's not usually longer than 5 minutes, and unless someone has called in, there's usually two or three employees at the store at any given time. Employees have always been pleasant, and while I've had an issue with Torrid's online not e-mailing me when I had an order to pick up, that's honestly that only online order issue I've had in the 20+ orders I've had delivered here. This particular location is decently large. They have a full-sized bra selection, and during swimsuit season, full swimsuit section. They have multiple fitting rooms. Each one of the fitting rooms is outfitted with an optional, strong fan you can turn on/off. That's a god-send in the summers! Especially before big clearance sales, the staff seems to go through and organize all of the clearance items by size AND by color/function. For example, all the size 1 will be together. Then all the lingerie comes first, then the swimsuits, then the shirts, then the boleros/jackets, etc. Then in each category, all the items will be color-matched. It's really a fantastic way to shop, and I've never seen any other Torrid (or any other store!) do this before. This Torrid is located in The Greene, though. While not a problem, it will make "quick stop" shopping a bit harder as the Torrid is located almost directly in-between the two nearby parking lots. It's not a terrible walk, though. Expect about a block's worth of walking. I'd recommend parking in the parking lot nearest the Winan's and Old Navy over the other lots.

A hidden gem of Mt. Washington, Funky Sunshine encourages creativity!…read more It's hardly well known, even within the town, but a lovely place to stop and shop. If you're aware of the Beacon Food Mart, it's tucked behind it in a very small strip within a neighborhood. I stopped in with my toddler for the 3rd Birthday Celebration. They had open tie dye, chalk art, a live DJ, food truck and vendors. Although the celebration isn't every day, you can still find most of these activities throughout the week. Open Tie Dye is posted on their Facebook page. $15 if you buy one of their shirts, $10 if you bring your own. You get to choose what design you want and they'll help you fold it. It is then up to you to put your colors on! Once completed, they send your shirt home to set for 24 hours. Follow their instructions and you have a cute new one of a kind shirt! I like that they soak the shirts beforehand in a special mix that opens the pores of the shirt for dye. Thank you for the lesson!!! The ladies helping out are lovely! They also have ready to purchase clothes ranging from baby onesies to adults. Also, draperies, cloths, crocheted items, magnets, body care. It's a small shop with a lot of personality. Definitely worth a trip to the open tie dye days!
