Urban? I don't think I understand.

It's a category on their website. According to Torrid.com, "urban" means Apple Bottoms, Baby Phat, and Dereon.

I find, in general, that their clothes are really cheaply made. After a few washes, the fabric starts to have problems and the seams come out.

It seems to me that most of the stuff in their brick & mortar stores are their house brand. They carry some jeans that are not their house brand, but I think I've seen Paris Blues in there.. maybe LEI, but not the brands mentioned above. The jeans my daughter LOVES from there are their 4 way stretch jeans because they stretch with you but never sag or get stretched out.. she swears they are the best jeans she ever got, which is good, since she paid $100 for them (with her own money cuz her mom wouldn't pay for them!)

Their jeans are pretty consistent. I'm taking a Torrid clearance dress to a seamstress for alterations for her 8th grade dance. We make a Torrid run about 4 times a year.

We were going to go there, but I went to David's with my fingers crossed and was overly successful! The first dress I tried on I fell in love with. The girl grabbed me 10 dresses to try on. I guess they are carrying more plus size dresses in store because it's more realistic to carry those sizes. I ended up ordering another dress for other weddings this year.

It is a female-only plus size Hot Topic, but it's not all gothic clothes. They have a little bit of everything.

I'd never heard of Torrid, so I checked it out.
It's a bit "I just raided Kelly Osbourne's closet" for me, but I do like the concept of having more than Mumus for plus sized women, so to each his own.
