Is it real that Dress Barn WOMan stores start at size 14....duhhhh...I would kill (NOT) to be back in a 14. Not to make light but I am just excited that I can buy smaller pants this week....yaaaaay, even if they're NOT 14's....close but no cigar. It's good to kick this issue around....thanks to whoever started it & apologies to those who don't give a hoot!!!!
