Torrid, has selected the seven winners of the 2009 Torrid House of Dreams Model Search, the world’s largest plus-size modeling contest. The winners were selected from over 5,000 entries from all over the US. Finalists were chosen based on beauty, style, personality, and their potential to represent the Torrid brand’s unique blend of youthful fashion, confidence and glamour. Finalists’ popularity with Torrid fans, who were able to vote for their favorite models at www.torrid.com, was also a consideration in determining this year’s winners.
As guests of honor at the Torrid House of Dreams event, the winners will be modeling original designs created by students from FIDM/The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Torrid has partnered with FIDM for this year’s House of Dreams event which will be held on the FIDM campus, West Coast home of Project Runway.

i thought theTorrid house of dream model search was for plus size models. all of the 2009 winners seem to be thin .the models should repsent Torrid and what they offer us full figured women.Plus sized women may take offense to go shopping at a store where skinny models are advertising the clothing doesnt mean i wont be shopping at Torrid anymore just means Torrid should have models that are able to fit in their clothing. I would like to thank you for your time and understanding always your Torrid costumer Ashley Suarez Chino,ca
