-
- Lane Bryants really seem to vary between stores and towns. I think it may have
- to do with the buyer. Ours here in Boston aren't too bad, but I've been in
- some that I hate! They do carry WAY too many stirrup pants, and way too few
- non-business skirts for my taste. Also, their clothes are incredibly
- overpriced for their quality. The clothes are made passably well for the
- usual women's ready-to-wear market, but not worth the prices they ask!
-
- >In defense of Lane Bryant... we have them here in Cali, and I love them.

- >lingerie!
-
- See? :->
- Oh, I like their lingerie, too. In fact, I habitually wear some of it as
- summer clothes. And it often goes on sale.
-
- >My one complain with them is this though... the stockings.

- >would fit up to the largest size pant... weird.)
-
- I've noticed this, too, and it pisses me off. I've gotten some of my best
- tights there, but I just bought a pair a week ago that I can hardly wear.
- Much thinner material, and far too small! My older tights were the same
- size, and had comfortable stretching room, but this pair pulls and rolls.
- Boo!!!
-
- >Does anyone know of anywhere I can get large size colored tights? I prefer
- >tights (instead of nylons... last longer, more durable, warmer.. etc.)
-
- Me too. Especially if we can come up with a source that sells very big ones
- that aren't aerobics tights (I mean the pastel shiny ones).
