Good bye Lane Bryant - we had a good run

I am currently wearing a shirt in Lane Bryant's smallest size... and it ain't gonna last much longer.  Lane Bryant has been my go-to clothing for like 20 years.  From ****tail dresses to yoga pants... sleep shirts to sexy lingerie - I knew I could always depend on Lane Bryant.  Of course, there was the added benefit of telling a skinny person, "Yes, this dress is awesome, but sorry it doesn't come in your size" - BOOM!

On behalf of plus sized women everywhere, Lane Bryant, I thank you.  Thank you for helping me feel my best regardless of my size.  And though I will miss you, I wouldn't want you to change and begin offering smaller sizes - I would not deny another plus sized woman the glee of having a more awesome outfit than her skinny friends.

As I continue down my road to health, I hope I can remember the lessons you taught me - beauty, class, and style are not size dependent.

Time to go shopping!

I LOVE this post. The subject line made me LOL. Soooo true! I can't wait to be in your spot some day.

Excellent post! 

I was very happy to wave bye bye to Lane Bryant and Catherine's as well ;)  I love being able to walk into any store I want to now :)  It's such an awesomely weird feeling.  Because I've never been able to do that as an adult! 

I can't wait to say goodbye to "Big and Tall" stores for DH

I love this post!  I feel the same way.  Torrid is another place for trendy plus sized clothes.  Funny thing is, I was a size 2x before my surgery, now a size S.  I'm finding it just as difficult to find size S than I did with XXL!!!  Is the rest of the world M-L????

It is just as hard to find smaller sizes.  Most stores I go into almost always have size 8-10 not so many smaller than a size 8.  Add it being petite pants aren't the easiest to find.

So nice to read your opening line!!! Nice tribute but bye bye!! Yeah for you !! Happy shopping !! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration, today. Just what I needed at 3 weeks out. Thx

Isn't that a great feeling.I am addicted to Old Navy.I can dress casual for work so it is great.Congratulations.

I hear ya! I'm only two weeks out but looking forward to doing the same thing.  I haven't shopped for anything smaller than a 1x in 22-23 years.  I'm not sure I'll know how, lol.  My mom is a 4-6-8 depending on brand and etc, it's just as hard for her to find her size most times we go too.  But, like I told her, if I'm going to have a hard time finding my size, I would much rather it be a smaller size than a larger size :). Great post.
