Their website is worse. It's a little offputting when you're trying to find something in normal sizes and you're suddenly faced with it in a 24.

Yes and those size 22 mannequins look awful in the clothes they’re modeling.

The point is that clothing manufacturers are putting out garbage products. Cheap gauzy clothes that don’t hang well. Extra long. Thin fabrics. Ruffles. Tiered dresses. Cropped tops. If the models look awful there isn’t much hope for the rest of us.

Like others, I never shop at the mall. The choices are non existent. I buy online at stores with physical locations so I can return easily. I find Nordstrom the best and easiest. They selection is huge.
