They are the best dancers in the world.

Welcome! I was wondering how long it would take for a scolding asshole to show up!

I’d like tshirts with something longer than a freaking cap sleeve.

Please for the love of all that is holy give me dresses with fucking SLEEVES on them. SLEEVES SLEEVES SLEEVES.

Last time I was in Lane Bryant I was looking for a plain white shirt. I tearfully explained to the salesperson what I was looking for (it was for my mother’s funeral) and she brought me every single sequined, floral, bedazzled shirt they had in the store. Does funeral sound like disco to some people?

I love a good print, and there are so many outside of the abstract floral/splatter/glitter/f’ing leopard well that LB keeps going back to. They’re also guilty of overusing the mail-order fat girl palette (hot pink, over-saturated teal, royal blue, Grimace purple) that I’m pretty sure originated in the 80s.

PPS: opaque shirts would also be nice

I just want pretty dresses that make me feel special, y’all. Is that too much to ask? (Yes, probably. I’ve had good success with eShakti and middling success with Modcloth, but I hunger for more.)

Don’t worry about reassuring me that I deserve nice things; just make them available, please.

OMG this. I don’t want to be swathed in nonbreathable fabrics in the summer.

Very, very few among us can rock this look. Overall it is a very aging look. I don’t need the parts of my body I don’t love to be bedazzled.

Please please please let them use some fabric with some weight to it. I'm so tired of the gauzy crap that won't survive a season.

As a large boobed woman I really like their bras. EXCEPT the past two I bought the straps frayed and fell apart. I ended up emailing corporate and sending photos. They actually sent me an apology and a gift card to cover both bras even though I only could provide a receipt for one of them. I was pleasantly surprised.

Maybe I had crappier fashion sense when I worked there 9 years ago (very likely) but honestly Lane Bryant has just completely gone tits up in the last several years. I used to shop there every single paycheck, now I am lucky if I find anything worthwhile on my yearly visit. The quality is shit for how expensive it is,

Lane Bryant A-Holes who have taken my money all of my life:

Dear Lame Giant,

If it has an absence of ruffles, that alone will make me like it.

On one hand, it’s exciting to see a designer create a collection for Lane Bryant. On the other hand, if he comes up with shit like this, I will personally egg his house.

I’ve found myself on the low end of Lane Bryant sizing after my baby, and its really quite incredible how insanely ugly some of their prints are. It’s not even really fashion, its like... “just” clothing. I did buy a cute pair of work pants there once though...so I keep on going back.

Maybe we will actually get some wearable stuff? It’s been so bleak there lately.
