- In defense of Lane Bryant... we have them here in Cali, and I love them.
- (My mother lives in Atlanta, perhaps I should have her check out the LB
- there.) I am 25 and work in the theatre, so I kinda live in stirrup
- pants or leggings... so that, I like. But, also... our LB's here have
- wonderful skirts, blouses, dresses, and casual shirts and pants. PLUS
- lingerie! My one complain with them is this though... the stockings.
- I cant find stockings there that fit. (They used to have some, but
- the must have changed manufacturer's because the same size doesnt fit
- anymore, when I still wear the same size pant. Not even the largest
- size pant they sell... you would think that they would sell stockings that
- would fit up to the largest size pant... weird.)
-
- Does anyone know of anywhere I can get large size colored tights? I prefer
- tights (instead of nylons... last longer, more durable, warmer.. etc.)
