Let me see what I can see because I love that denim jacket far-right first picture. Thank you Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-step-forward-in-fashion#post-1906794 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 03:49:53 +0000 Nebraskim 1906794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed recently that Target is also showing clothing on larger mannequins and not just in the "plus" department but with others as part of how they are merchandizing things (Target, at least in my town, is upping its game in how it is presenting and displaying items.) As an aside, a huge retailer in our state, Younkers (owned by Bon-Ton) is probably going to close at least two major stores in Omaha and possibly one in Lincoln. Chain is similar to Macy's/Dillard's.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-step-forward-in-fashion#post-1906773 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 02:35:02 +0000 bridgie 1906773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Real progress!&nbsp; Hope other retailers will do the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-step-forward-in-fashion#post-1906761 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 02:14:42 +0000 Jaime 1906761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes things do get better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-step-forward-in-fashion#post-1906753 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 02:00:08 +0000 Brooklyn 1906753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope we see this here too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-step-forward-in-fashion#post-1906751 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 01:57:50 +0000 Elizabeth P 1906751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A step forward, indeed.
