I should have specified that the catalog company was what the newspaper was talking about. Unfortunately I just assumed that the catalog "Lane Bryant" was the same as the store "Lane Bryant". Although I can not speak for the overall attitude of the store, I can speak from the newspaper article that I read.

I am sorry if this was a personal affront to you Paula, but i can only state my opinion on things like this, and somtimes when I have them facts. And I am just stating the reason I stopped buying from Lane Bryant Catalog.
