Maria Fox Nicest shopping experience Ive had in years. As a medium fat woman on a tight budget, Ive mostly picked up pieces here and there at places like Target, Walmart and Burlington over the years. My wardrobe is full, but frustrating, as very few of my clothes are actually cut for my shape and body type. I went into Lane Bryant on a whim, determined to pick up a few pieces that actually make me feel good in my body. I was greeted by Katie (Im about 80% sure that was her name, sorry if I misremembered!), who was friendly and attentive as I looked through the store and tried on clothes. Id forgotten how nice it is to have someone check on me while Im in the fitting room, grab a different size when needed, and give feedback on how things are looking. I honestly could have cried, trying on those clothes - they were beautiful, well made, and fit like they were made for me. It was a peaceful and very enjoyable experience. Nothing there is cheap - even with heavy discounts and deals, I ended up spending twice as much as Id originally budgeted for, but I feel it was well worth it to come away with the staples of a comfortable, attractive wardrobe, and a new appreciation for my curves. Thank you for such a lovely experience.
