I was in the Tyler area on October 15th for a Doctor appointment. I realized my 40th HS Reunion was soon & when driving through The Village at Cumberland Park in Tyler, TX I noticed a Lane Bryant sign. Too be honest I had never been in this store before. I had the misconception it was "old people's clothes". WAS I WRONG? YES! It was Victoria's Secret meets The Limited in my opinion! I was greeted by Pat who was a lovely woman. She was so calm & welcoming. She was AWESOME! I was struck by how CLEAN, ORGANIZED and BEAUTIFUL THE ENTIRE STORE WAS! Admittedly, I have gained some pounds with age and I realized this store caters to a demographic more "pleasantly plump". The colors, selection, fit and variety of clothing, lingerie & jewelry was AMAZING. Pat asked about my style. I was dumbfounded but answered "I'm eclectic really...casual, comfortable." She suggested I look around & she would pull some clothing for me to try on. I felt so special! I could have spent hours with her. She made GREAT selections, put my name on a card tag and hung it on my dressing room door & switched out my selections with different sizing options! It was LIBERATING! I had just discovered my NEW FAVORITE STORE! I bought with enthusiasm! A week later I received a hand written note in the mail from Pat, thanking ME for coming & visiting their store! I was SHOCKED at this ongoing Customer Service experience! Then? She called me this week to remind me I have some "Lane Style Cash" expiring soon and reminding me of the dates of the sales days to use them! OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE! Is it a little "pricey"? Actually, NO! Oversized clothing requires more fabric, thread & altered patterns than traditional "off the rack" clothing options. I am 3rd generation sewing expert and I know! I hope you do yourself a favor and stop in! I'm sure glad I did! read more
