An American
mall chain of
women's clothing aimed at the
larger woman (although their
underwear line is good for any
busty woman). They used to specialize in the awful floral tents made to make large women feel even larger, but now they actually design fashionable, comfortable clothes for women around ages 20-40. They also carry the usual range of things of such mall
boutiques, including
jewelry and
hose--one of the only places to get
thigh high stockings if you are over 5' 8".
Venezia is their most well-known in-house brand. Recently Venezia and Lane Bryant have become much more
aggressive in terms of
fashion marketing, sponsoring
fashion shows, promoting the new non-
size 0 supermodels such as
Emme, etc.
