Guilty of Idiocy (Again): Lane Bryant's Cacique line...

How many times do you, as a plus size fashionista, swear off all things poorly made and is not quality? Better yet, how many times do you buy something at Lane Bryant only to have it last three to four wearings?

That's what I'm going through with their Cacique bras. I spent quite a bit of money there recently as I finally decided to take the Oprah challenge and get the RIGHT size bra and invest in some "quality" pieces. Well, quality - that's a term that I find debatable.

Right now, after two bras either popping their underwire or falling apart after TWO wearings - yeah, I'm SO done. Those bras retail for $30-40 APIECE. Sure, many times they run the Buy 1 Get One 1/2 off or a coupon but still - after dropping a nice chunk of change on new bras, to have these fall apart was beyond discouraging. And, for that, I need to bid adieu to poorly made crap and make some quality decisions - and that means swearing off Lane Bryant. What used to stand for quality and class is now cheap, poorly made and just not worth the insanely high prices they charge. I bought a bra at Ashley Stewart that runs circles around the Cacique disaster which looked great but didn't hold up AT ALL.

Lane Bryant - how many times are you going to disappoint your target audience? The more corners you cut and quality you skew in favor of a quick profit will only make us take our money elsewhere.

Nordstrom has great bras, and they are expert fitters, and they really last so much longer than Lane Bryant's!
