Fashion Bug

I miss the old Fashion Bug! Gone are the days I could drop in with my mom and pick up some cute outfits. This store used to carry all styles from casual to dressy in teen to plus sizes. The regular prices were always high for lackluster quality, but they typically had good sales and many, many clearance racks. The occasional coupon also sweetened the deal for an outfit with a one season lifespan. A few years back I bought two dresses I wore to separate weddings for less than $ 30 total!
The old store was demolished along with the rest of the strip mall it was located in to make way for a new strip mall. Basically they just needed a bigger parking lot. The «new» Fashion Bug is smaller in size and caters almost exclusively to plus size teen and twenty somethings. There were a few misses sizes toward the front, but only in a handful of styles. My plus size mother was unable to find anything she liked. Everything was made of sheer polyester with plunging necklines so deep you would really have to think about your undergarments. The prices were still very high ($ 25-​$ 35 for a top), but the quality was still «I’m afraid to put this in the washing machine» low. No clearance racks in sight.
Their business model has changed. We won’t be back.
