David’s demise ties in with the shrinking middle class. People who can afford it want better, and people on a budget aren’t wasting their money on that crap. 

I believe the online shopping bridal complex has taken over the same price market as David’s Bridal. If you can afford better in terms of quality materials and design, you shop at a higher end place, or at least a local bridal boutique. My daughter and I purchased her dress at a small dress shop in Portland. Price was…

This is really it right here. It’s got nothing to do with modern brides being more “thoughtful” it’s got to do with modern brides either wanting a more bespoke (i.e. ewww, you used a national chain to dress your bridal party) and David’s having a hard time controlling cost so it was no longer an affordable option.

Yeah, I was gonna say...the aesthetic and experience at David’s was not my vibe and none of the dresses were at all fashion forward or modern. I don’t think it’s that deep hahah they’re just going under like other outdated retailers.

Out of the brides I am familiar with, David’s falls into this weird valley. The two monied brides I know wanted a more expansive experience than David’s can give. They flew multiple times to international cities to shop wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses at boutiques I’ve never heard of, with assigned personal…

Pointless anecdote: I bought my wedding dress at David’s Bridal in 2016, but I bought a green bridesmaid’s dress, not one of their expensive white bridal gowns. FWIW, the saleslady was lovely, praising my choice with no discernible sarcasm, and I absolutely loved the dress. My friend and I had very different (worse)…

As a “trash raccoon” myself I’ve seen a lot of very nice thrift store wedding dresses go untouched and into the trash after sitting on racks for months. Most people are still superstitious about buying a used gown because they sooner assume divorce and curses before considering that people pass away and things end up…

I bought two wedding dresses from David’s Bridal. The first absolutely STANK of chemicals. Like, imagine fish left to rot in a plastic factory. The second was the only short-sleeved dress they had, in my size or any other size. I did not want to get married in a strapless dress, and that was all they had that year I…

These are BRIBES.

Agreed. And then there is Gerri, who tolerated (indulged?) sexual phone calls and dick pics from Roman - right up until the point that they were not “in her best interests.” The top women at Royco all give as good as they get and are equally as brutal as the men, if not more so.   Looking at you, Marcia.

Exactly right. Either this writer has never watched this show or is under the delusion that just because a character is a woman therefore that character must be a noble victim.

He’d rather the children die in the mines or factories or poor houses as “God” intended!

Shiv, who’s spent now 3.5 seasons doing her utmost to compete with men in soulless corporate environments by adopting their antics.

Holy Hell! If I were to see that w/o context, I would legit think that was an SNL or Daily Show style parody commercial, down to the faux-folksy narrator, and bald eagle screeches in the background.

If Sanders was that upset about being compared to a softball coach and Aunt Lydia at that White House Correspondent’s Association dinner, she in particular is really not going to like the world in which everyone has a legal obligation to police women for not appearing feminine enough...

Now I’m not a doctor, but I have a cat, so I know a little something about biology. My vet told me this cat would be healthier and happier if I had him neutered, so I did, and goshdarn if he isn’t just the sweetest, most contented little guy now. Mike Pence seems very agitated, and I can’t help thinking, based on my…

clown. I can’t wait for him to get defeated soundly in the first round of GOP primaries. I can’t stand his competition, either. They all need to have a seat.

Hey dipshits, you think because its literally not next door that you can somehow win. You piss off enough people with this talk, we will literally organize buses to get them to the right place to make your fucking candidate lose.

Except Dylan Mulvaney is open about being trans and having been born in a male body. Hilaria Baldwin literally pretended she didn’t know how to say cucumber in English. There is no equivalency or hypocrisy here. 

It’s wild that people think our constitutional republic is threatened by people being able to vote easily.
