Getting tired of Lane Bryant

  • When I first met my fiance I could fit in a medium juniors. After pregnancy I weighed 244. I went to the mall in search of a dress for a wedding. My fiance kept pointing out cool stores. And I kept saying "nope. Not going to fit" it was so depressing.

    A few months ago I was at davids bridal with my skinny stick friend. I am right inbetween their misses and women's. My friend was in the woman's section and looked at me so innocently asked "what does W mean? Wide?" Smh. I was like shhhh we liked to be called women. Her face was priceless.

    That was great....I don't understand why they can't make plus size cloths more trendy and sexy looking...just cause we're curvy does not mean we don't want to look great....I am so sick of shopping at the same three places!!!

    Ha! That's exactly what I came here to say. I haven't been to Lane Bryant in a few years -they're sometimes too expensive for me now anyway but I also don't like the way they design sometimes. I do like Torrid but their variety can be limited -they only ever have black pants, for example. And I am flipping sick to death of tunic-shaped clothing. It can't just be a regular button down it has to be be a tunic button down. Boooo. Old Navy's okay, but their quality can seriously suck sometimes.
    Forever 21 has a plus section now and I did get a cute shirt there once but after that all I saw was reject club wear.
    I'm very nearly an 18 or so and I am sorely impatient to be branching out shopping-wise.
    That is why I am eating lentils now and sore from 30 Day Shred Level 2!
  • I want to know why every shirt or dress I try on seems to be made for women with DD or EE breasts - not all plus sized women have large breasts!

    Totally agree! Once wore a new LB shirt to work and accidentally gave my whole sales team quite the peep show! Can't wear any of their v-neck clothing without a tank. Hmmm -maybe it's to sell more of those overpriced tanks they sell in EVERY color.

    LB drives me crazy. The clothes have got more expensive, the quality has gone down hill and the sizing is inconsistent. I can't wait to never go back! :). As for Victoria Secrets, that is my dream to shop there. I haven't shopped in a VS since I was a teenager!
  • Have you tried Torrid? They're like LB for the more youthful crowd.

    I want to know why every shirt or dress I try on seems to be made for women with DD or EE breasts - not all plus sized women have large breasts! It's bad enough my boobs didn't swel right along with my hips and waist, but do manufacturer's really have to rub my nose in it? C'mon!

    Completely agree now that I'm finally out of the plus size side I don't have neck lines that could fall bellow my small boobs!
