Fashion Bug in my hometown was located in the same plaza as KMart and Waldbaums. RIP, stores.

She was shitting on the name, not the store itself.  And it IS a terrible name.

If they had named it “Dressbjärn”, it would not only still be open, it would be thriving.

For those of you too young to remember this (I’m guessing all of you), the early-to mid-70s had a bit of a country chic moment (think gingham, think Holly Hobbie) — most likely an accessible reaction to hippy back-to-the-earth philosophies. If this store started in the late ‘60s, that’s about the right time for the…

what is HR’s policy for you calling in ‘nude’ ... just wondering how that works

nudge, nudge ... wink, wink

I never shopped there but it’s sad to see one more option for plus-sized shoppers go away. I do think the tone is unnecessarily snarky. Yes, the name was terrible especially for a store that sold plus sized clothes but they were a good middle of the road option - better than WalMart, not as pricey as Lane Bryant or…

Me too.

How GD elitist is this site becoming?  People at 650 stores are losing their jobs (including my SIL) so this is so damn shitty.  

This actually sucks. This was one of the first stores where I could find cute, well-fitting, vintage-leaning dresses in a size above 12. They were also affordable and easily accessible (as opposed to, say, Unique Vintage or ModCloth), and there was more than once that I ran in there to get an emergency dress when…

We didn’t have much money, but I remember my mom’s supervisor always giving her a shit ton of coupons so that my mother could buy my sister and I dresses and…

What’s wrong with Ann Taylor? They have good clothes for work. Or at least, Ann Taylor Loft, does. I guess I haven’t been in a real Ann Taylor for years.

Aww, this is sad to me because it never failed that if I was shopping with my grandma, we ended up at DressBarn for one reason or another. She passed away late last year.  End of an era.  :( 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well, it looks like my sister will be going naked soon.

I think they are pointing out that Ann Taylor, the clothing brand, isn't spelled with an ‘e’ on the end of the first word. 

Not spelled that way it ain’t.

Doesn’t help that people would just get it confused with Ross.

Could they not have, I don’t know, considered just.. you know, trying to change the name and see how it went?

New York and Company until they file as well.
