Charming Shoppes (owner of Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, Catherines) to possibly close in 2009

*sigh*

I know there are a lot of Lane Bryant haters out there, but I just adore some of their clothing. This makes me sad. It's one of the few places I can just GO to if I want to shop.

Uncool. I was looking forward to starting to shop there again soon. Plus they had my bras there.

Grrr. Don't go to LB much, esp now that I'm working from home, but I do enjoy having one store that I *know* I can walk into and clothes will fit me and I will have decent chance of actually liking them.

I know! It's one of the few places sexy fat chicks (like me!) can get some decent clothing.

I don't know what I am going to do if they go into epic fail.

I, too, love their bras. Good quality. Great fit. Sad.

Some of lb clothes have gone down in quality over the years but I did still like some of their stuff.

Oh shit.

I had my first LB shopping experience recently, and I have to say the sales girls were AWESOME. They were really helpful and made me feel beautiful. Where the hell am I going to shop now?

oddly enough, in the middle of all these comments was a lane bryant coupon. hahaha... *sigh*

They have the nicest/most stylish clothes...so much better than 99% of the other stores in the mall.

so frustrating. i love lane bryant. i've been shopping there since i was 16-ish. they're the only ones that have pants that fit around my ass and that are actually long enough.

i also read that sears may close before the year is over. i hope the article was wrong or it was just somebody's stupid opinion. i was kind of hoping to have my new job longer than a year.

EXACTLY. *crie*

sears?!??!??!?!! no way. they've been around for hundreds of years! meh.

Lane Bryant DOES have very cute clothes, but I just soooooooooooo can't see spending $40-$50 for ONE shirt. so I stopped shopping there. maybe the occasional clearance item.......

Date: 2009-01-23 05:35 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] synnoveaevael.livejournal.com

I love lane bryant. it's where I get all my work clothes and jeans. Fuck.

I mea sure they're fuckin expensive, but considering they cator to a specialty group, they can be.

It would suck if they went out of business. The LB near me is closing/liquidating come April. They *say* it is only "that store", not LB in general. I don't shop at FB or Catherine's much, but my LB... I've been a LONGGGGG time customer of theirs. Granted, with the weight loss I'm already finding it difficult to fit into LB bottoms anymore, but their sweaters fit perfectly! Don't take my LB!

they say it's "select" stores. *grumble*

i'm too lazy to check out the info on this, but those stores are so helpful. i normally buy all my tops i can wear to work at layne bryant. it's hard being tall and awkwardly not super skinny and not super fat. they don't have my size anywhere. i can't shop at walmart either, i guess i can but the clothes there swim on me and i'm too big for normal sizes there.

Bah. This year I have bought NO clothes from them except bra's because everything has been so FUGLY.

But if they close? Us fat chicks are fucked.

I like LB for bra's,avenue for jeans/tops,and fashion bug for cheap tops and jeans.

Fuck.
