		<description>It sounds to me like they are spinning it like mad - since the official reason they gave at the time was that they wanted to offer it to all of their customers. Ha! 

Even so, if they put it back in the stores, I&#039;ll probably be willing to buy from them again, if only to support having plus sizes in more brick and mortar stores.</description>

		<description>I buy so much from Old Navy that I have actually found some consistency in their sizing (!), and so I generally know what size I&#039;ll need in an item.  Also, I have heard that they have plans to re-introduce plus to the stores and the original reason for the pull was to &quot;reevaluate&quot; the line.  I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s all bunk or not, but I&#039;m loyal nonetheless-- even if they are evil.</description>

		<description>I installed Wordpress on my own domain but I use a theme I found among their options - it can help to know all the coding but I don&#039;t know the vast majority of it, either. 

I am often torn between my principles and my need to, you know, actually wear clothes. I hold firm on Old Navy because a) their sizing is so incredibly inconsistent and their size charts so useless that it is a crap shoot buying anything from them and they don&#039;t give you free shipping on returns. I think the way they handled pulling the plus sizes from stores is really what sealed the deal, though. I had a much stronger reaction to it than I thought I would.

Right now my strategy is to support the places that DO carry clothes I can wear - and even though I am angry that only 15% of their merch is available in my size, I&#039;ll buy from B &amp; Lu. But at the same time, I&#039;ll write to them and let them know about it.

The really big thing in their favor is that the size charts are for each individual garment and they have always been accurate. So I mostly ignore the sizes and go by the charts.</description>

		<description>Thanks!

The color scheme is default, though.  I do web design but I don&#039;t know anything about the coding you need to do to set up a blog.  So, I&#039;m using a default scheme until I learn.</description>
