"ROSS STORES" You Have to GO!

bizimom · 03-29-2006, 10:57 AM

If you a fortunate enough to have a "ROSS" near you, you have to go!!! I am very fortunate that I do. I am 5 feet tall, and about 100 pounds, and is is always difficult for me to find afforable petite clothing. Most of my clothing is Liz Caiborne petites that got a least 60% off. Now its nothing fancy, and you have to have time to rummage. But, its worth it!! I bought a $140.00 silk Liz Claiborne top for $14.00!!! Yes!!! And, I know that because the manufacturers labels were still on it. Thay sell shoes, childrens clothing and housewares as well.. Check It Out!!

That's a great deal! Congrats!

I'm so impatient when it comes to those stores, though! Maybe I'd better get some patience.

I have never been to a Ross store-the closest thing we have is Winners here! May have to take a border run!

I love ROSS stuff too. I go there quite frequently. That place is packed with great deals! They also have a lot of variety in clothes, especially when the seasons are changing. They have some good shoes and bags too!

Ladies!!! Ross has a web site that tells you all the areas they are located! They even have a store in Guam! Look it up! Leslie.

They're not located in my state

I love T.J. Maxx and Marshall's though, which are located in my area and are owned by the same company as Ross. By the way, way to go on the great deals!

I am 5 feet tall as well! Probably 136 pounds. I like being a bit plush.

Makes me feel...curvy and womanly.
A Ross just opened in our town last year. It is awesome! OMG! My husband is from Cali and he used to lament that Nashville didn't have one. I buy Liz Claiborne petites too. I want to be able to wear whatever I like though so I am tenatively learning to hem clothes. Lol, try it out! It is tedious and difficult, but do we petites have much of a choice? Clothing makers assume everyone is 5'5" to 5'7". One size does NOT fit all, ask my cousin, she is 5'11" and a half. Yeah, Ross is GREAT! I love to order from JC Penny when I can as well. They have sizes from petites (under 5'4") to talls "at least 5'10" to 6'1") and even ultra-tall, think it is for ladies 6'2" and taller. PEACE all!

Does Ross carry only petites or do they carry all sizes? I am too tall for petites, but I am also too skinny for a lot of clothes in the Misses department unless they run down to sizes like XS, 2, 4.... I often end up shopping in Juniors because those clothes fit better but it's so hard to find clothes appropriate for a 24-year-old professional there!

Ross rocks. That is all.
