Announcement Reminders, Clarifications, General Plea from the Mods šŸ˜…

177 Upvotes

Hi all!

Maybe this could just be titled the ā€œSeasonal Newsletterā€. 🤣 Anywho, just wanted to touch on some things that have frequently come up in the mod queue and overall in the sub.

First of all! CONGRATS TO YOU ALL. We reached 100k+ members recently and we’re happy to see the growth of the sub overall. šŸŽ‰

tl;dr: Remember to still follow the rules as the seasons change and overall. Links in posts or comments MUST BE PLUS SIZE INCLUSIVE. If it doesn’t at the very minimum go up to a 3X, we don’t want it. And please, no booty shots. Save it for your camera roll.


Now, hold onto your seatbelts as we address a few things. 😬

With fall coming up (for the northerners), that means the ever infamous Halloween costumes will be making their debut. We love to seem them BUT they still need to comply with sub rules.

This means no heavily sexualized costumes, lingerie (we know you’re a hardcore girlā€¦ā€duh I’m a mouseā€), or nudity (actual or implied). Costumes need to be rated E, for everyone. If you wouldn’t answer the door to pass out candy in it…please reconsider posting it here. Thank you!

For our southern friends, swimsuits will be coming out of the closet and as always we do allow them here with our specific rules in mind. No booties out, no see through items, and no barely there looks. Act like you’re going to Disney, not a nude beach. 😬


Another hot topic that we are going to crack down more on. Links that you share MUST BE PLUS SIZE INCLUSIVE. The bare absolute minimum would be at least to a 3X. But please, if you are posting a link that only offers up to a size XL, it’s frankly, not helpful. If you can find a similar product that has extended size ranges then by all means, share that to help. But we really need to be more intentional with our links and posts that we share.

And personally, I totally get fitting into a range of sizes. I can even sometimes wear a L up top. But I also know, those photos I take wearing it, don’t need to be shared here. While we can’t police every item that someone chooses to wear and/or post. We challenge some to think before posting. If what you are wearing/sharing is a XL and you know this, share it to r/midsizefashion.

When most people post, others are understandably going to want to know where you get things from. That’s the whole point of the sub. But when it doesn’t even come in their size range…it’s kind of a waste. I can’t even tell you the amount of times I’ve clicked a link for a cute dress only to see it goes up to an XL and get so defeated. And I’m what some would consider the lower end of plus size. It’s hard out here. Let’s help each other out.

I don’t say this to be rude or mean but to just get people to think a little and to please be more intentional and inclusive.


And to bounce off the topic of intentionality, please, please, please. Stop posting your booties. We can’t see the actual outfit half the time.

Unless it’s a photo of you frolicking through a field of flowers in a magical dress, or there’s so much intricate detail that just needs to be shared that’s on the back of your shirt. We don’t need to see a photo of you from behind. Of course those are just examples but you get the point.

Please just be mindful of what you post. It makes the sub flow smoothly and makes our days as mods just a little bit easier.


As always, we are open to feedback and any questions you have. Happy season changes and we are excited to see the sub continue to grow!

Cheers šŸ„‚

Announcement Just a reminder to ✨Familiarize✨ yourself with our sub rules! 😊 + a few new changes.

80 Upvotes

tl;dr : The sub has become more active so we are adding a few additional requirements for accounts that wish to participate in good faith. Staring today accounts with links asking for money or gifts (wishlists) will be given a warning to remove such links. If not they will be banned. And as always please be mindful of what you share when you post. Thanks

Hi all! Long time no see.

As of late we’ve seen a significant uptick in activity in the sub (yay! šŸŽ‰) and other subs like ours. But with this comes a plea from us mods to remind everyone new and old to please, review our rules. Especially before posting or commenting.

With this awesome uptick in traffic we’ve also seen an uptick in…other traffic. Most of which is thankfully kept behind the scenes and caught by our automod. But occasionally a few slip through the cracks. We are also so grateful for those who use the report button and we try to get to it as soon as we can.

In an effort to help us a bit more, we will be upping the ā€œstrictnessā€ if you will, for the time being. We’ve seen a large influx of accounts and users who wish to either not read our rules, or to blatantly ignore them after being warned. As mods we’ve discussed a few changes that we will be implementing here shortly. Many users will not even notice a difference and for those that adhere to our rules, we love ya and appreciate you! šŸ«¶šŸ¼


Here’s a little glimpse of what we will be working on:

As always, links to selling content or profiles that post or participate in lewd, nude, fetish, exhibitionist, porn, etc. subreddits are NOT welcome to interact here (by posting AND/OR commenting). To make a long story short, it messes up our algorithm and groups us with NSFW subs when those profiles participate here. PLEASE use a SFW account if you wish to truely participate in our space(s).

In addition to this, we will also NO LONGER allow links for ā€œgiftsā€ in profiles. This means no venmo, cashapp, wishlists, ā€œbuy me coffeeā€, etc in profiles. Either directly or indirectly (links in linktrees, instagram, twitter, etc.). And absolutely no references of tips, gifts, or photos for money or otherwise in bio texts. If you are truely SFW this should not be an issue for you.

The reason for this change is due to the fact that most ā€œgiftersā€ are people we do not want interacting with our subreddit. Thats fine if you want them to interact with your profile, but our sub wishes not to be involved and we may not be the sub for you.

With this being said, we will no longer be giving multiple chances. If your account is deemed unfit for our sub due to links or content and you’ve been warned as such, you will be banned without appeal.


Please continue to be mindful what you post. Reddit is a public, worldwide platform. Anyone can see what is posted, EVEN IF THEY ARE BANNED! Please be mindful of poses and interactions that you share here.

As always, we do not allow photos of bras, underwear or lingerie. We DO allow swimsuits but they MUST be family friendly. No thongs, micros, or skimpy swimwear. And photos may not be close ups.

We do not allow booty shots. Save it for your camera roll. It doesn’t showcase an outfit effectively and doesn’t fit the vibe of this sub. And absolutely no close ups of the goods. If your butt or cleavage take up a large portion of the photo please retake your photo to show the outfit in its entirety.

And as always, please turn off your DMs. It is truly the only way to avoid them. If you send us the profile names we will of course take action where we can. But many who DM are users who are already banned from our sub. At that point there is nothing we can do. They are messaging you because they cannot comment anymore. Please be mindful who you talk to and trust.


As always, we are here for you if you need us so always feel free to reach out if you have questions or concerns.

Community Discussion Topic Anyone have any experience working for Torrid?

• Upvotes

(DISCLAIMER: I am also posting this in retail subreddits for workers, so please don't flame me for asking here. I'm also interested to know what the shopping experience is like from the guest's end, because I also want to shop here.)

- sincerely, a plus-sized female who is currently an ASM at a Big & Tall mens clothing store, who would love to actually shop where I work.

- About me: I'm kickass at selling credit cards & signing people up for memberships. But I also know when to leave people alone.

- I'm very metrics-driven, so if I worked here, I would be a HOUND about conversion + upselling, but at least I would be selling product I can actually wear & get behind.

What's it like out there in the trenches?

Searching For Where/how to build a wardrobe?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I apologise it's not the best picture I'm EXTREMELY shy and I don't have a full length mirror!

So over the years with school, work, and overall hiding my body I would like to build a wardrobe! I want to try to dress to express myself more so I've been looking into different things I like and I want to experiment. However I'm kinda stuck with how to shop in an area with no plus size shops and I've been looking online but I don't want to start spending money and buying poor quality things.

Where do you guys shop? Particularly that you noticed the quality is good and has a wide variety of different fashion styles available? For reference (since you can't see my legs etc) I have VERY thick legs and round hips. I do have a big belly and you can see it. I'm kinda just big everywhere tbh lol last I checked I wore a 22 but I'll measure myself before shopping EDIT: I'm in the US. And price wise im shopping slowly but surely (and don't call me Shirley) so no definite answer there

Thank you!!!!!!!

Workoutwear Wednesday I got new running shoes and a new fav combo for working out! šŸ’Ŗ

I didn't realize how worn out my old running shoes were until I got these new ones! I got this new balances on sale at DSW.

I also figured out that my fav workout outfit combo is a tank top, leggings, and these Torrid bralettes. I find that this combo is the most comfortable for me since it keeps things in place!

And I know looking cute isn't the goal but it does give me a little boost~

I just don't like the tight stuff, never have. I want some advice and inspiration for what I could wear and still look cute. My super long baggy shorts aren't cutting it and my short shorts are just too short to do squats and leg presses.

Searching For Business clothes

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I’m looking for a clothing rental company for business conferences. I’ve tried Rent the Runway and Nuuly, but both consistently ran very small for me, especially through the hips and waist, despite checking measurements.

I’m a Torrid 0–1 (sometimes a 2 in tops). Are there any rental services that carry business attire that fits plus-size or curvy figures well?

Thank you!

Searching For Thigh Chafing & Tights/Panty Hose

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

So, I get bad thigh chafing whenever I wear shorts, skirts & especially pantyhose. I've managed to combat this mostly with a thigh chafing stick and biker shorts under the clothes. However, I can't seem to stop the chafing when I'm wearing tights. No matter how much I try to prevent it, I end up with my thighs on fire by the end of it. Any tips?

Searching For Business clothes

1 Upvotes

Hi!

Im looking for a clothing rental company. The only two I know of, RTR and Nuunly, did not work out for me. Both times, the clothes were SO small. Like every single thing in the box, despite me reading every review and checking every measurement.

I work in sales and attend conferences with the same people all the time, so I’m really looking for a rental company because I’d like to switch outfits up for each show.

Does anyone have recommendations for a company that has business clothes tailored to a plus size figure? I’m a 0 or 1 at Torrid, sometimes 2 in tops if I want a looser fit.

RTR issues - couldn’t zip anything up (and I’m not even large chested)

Nuunly - everything was so tight in the hips/waist.

Thank you in advance for your help. I’m desperate!

Feedback Wanted do these culottes look dumb ??

21 Upvotes

I bought these culottes from old navy because i’ve always been a fan of the ā€œobscenely long / baggy jortsā€ look. i usually dress pretty punk and i thought they’d suit my style, but looking at them on i’m
not sure. they’re longer than i wanted, partially because i sized up to a 24 when im usually a 20/22 but also they’re just Long. I kind of like them low rise with my belly out though? i feel like it’s kind of embracing my size when i usually hide my belly. Idk. feedback please!

Size / clothing info: shirt xxl, culottes size 24 women’s. both from old navy
