SAFE maternity corset.
i just learned so many things about lane bryant
i don’t know why
it was started by a lithuanian immigrant named lena bryant (the store became lane bryant after a loan officer misspelled her name) after her husband died
she made maternity clothing and then transitioned to plus size garments when it turned out to be more lucrative
she also worked w/ the red cross to outfit ppl after disasters?? so that’s kinda cool
her grandsons started fashion to figure
and in 2008 one retail location was the site of a shooting. five women died.
i’m always surprised when i see someone trying to sell something from lane bryant and it’s actually cute
so i tried to go bathing suit shopping today
as a fat lady
and we went to macys first and they had like, 3 different suits for fat people? no one-pieces, and 3 different ugly patterned separates? well fuck you
so i went to lane bryant instead, which i detest under normal circumstances because they sell the homeliest ugliest shit ever, but you have to do what you have to do. and of course we went to the one LB that doesn’t stock bathing suits???????? what? why? and because i was there i tried on some pants, and no, they fucking sucked and looked awful even though they were “trendy” bright colors, and i tried on a shirt and it was horrible and you know what fuck you lane bryant
i’m gonna go to a different location tomorrow to try on bathing suits but i’m going to be mad and i don’t wanna do it because fuck you your clothes are horrendous and overpriced and FUCK YOU
