Get a Clue Lane Bryant

May 03, 2005 11:27

Today's rant is entitled: Get a Clue, Lane Bryant.

Lane Bryant is a store that caters specifically to fat women. So I ask, why would they make all their dresses with silkly CLINGY material? Does this make sense? Do I need a dress to cling to my middle? NO. But that is ALL they have.

Why, yes, they do suck.

Like one should be grateful that it's not ugly and just deal with the weird fabrics. 0.o

I can't believe how much the catalog sucks. I was looking forward to the first catalog, since I like the clothes at the store. Ugh. Then the second catalog came, and I thought this time would be better. No. Double ugh.

And I totally agree with you on the models. It looks like they tried to make the models bigger, but it all looks so fake - sort of like little heads on slightly bigger bodies.

No FUCKING SHIT!!!! I am so pissed at Lane Bryant and Roamans, I could absolutely fucking scream. It's like, "HELLO? You don't even SELL anything smaller than a 14 in your fucking catalog: could we maybe get a model that's at LEAST a size 12 or something ( ... )

OMG! I went in there one time and there were all these hip-hugger jeans and midriff tops.

MIDRIFF tops!

As in, if I wear this, I will bare my midriff.

Now, honestly, there are plus-size women who are comfortable with doing that, and God bless 'em. I only wish I had the confidence to do that.

But personally, my view of the purpose of clothes is to COVER UP my midriff!

And my butt, and my thighs, and my knees, etc.

I just had to wonder -- what on earth made them think that clothes that are popular with stick-thin twelve year olds would look good on my ... ahem ... big bones?

Yagggh! YARRRGH!

*breaaaathe*

I want to see models who are around 5'6" tall, and at LEAST 170 - 180 pounds MINIMUM.

You want to see how it should be, check out Junonia and go right to the Tank Tops. I love them.
