Lane Bryant

staff is super friendly and super helpful. store has great clothes, but just like any other lane Bryant pricy. kinda wish this one had bathing suits. bathing suits are hard to order and know how they fit.

The average American woman wears a size 14, but this is considered a «plus size» in most clothing outlets. The problem with «plus size» clothing is it is generally tailored for a smaller figure and just manufactured in a larger size. Lane Bryant is one of those stores that realizes that women with curves are simply built differently. We need different styles to flatter our fuller figures, styles that makes us feel attractive, confident and even sexy. The Lane Bryant boutique in Abilene offers a wide range of fashion for sizes 14 – 28. You can buy casual or business wear, clothes for the club or lingerie and jewelry. This is a higher quality of clothing so it will cost you a bit more than your discounted department stores like Wal-​mart, but the clothes also last longer. This is especially true for undergarments, which are specially designed for more generous proportions. I swear by Cacique undergarments, especially bras, which are the best supporting bras I’ve ever worn — even without an underwire (which I HATE.)
Whereas Catherine’s is for the more mature or professional plus-​size clientele, Lane Bryant provides a good selection for younger (or younger at heart) customers. It’s not quite as alternative as Torrid, Hot Topic’s plus-​size outlet which, as of 2011, is woefully absent from Abilene. But it makes a good substitute for those younger, more chic fashionistas. The clerks are very helpful, and if you’ve never been fitted for a bra you definitely want to ask for one. Many women are wearing the wrong sized support garment which makes them appear frumpy or create unsightly bulges.
