Moo
Like most men, I don't much of anything about women. One of the things I do know, however, is pretty basic: they don't like being compared to animals. Catty. Bitchy. Mousey. Heifer. Horseface. Porcine. You get the picture.
Why, then, did some genius name his women's clothing store Dress Barn? After all, many of the same animals that women do not like to be compared to live in barns: cows, pigs, and horses. To me, if I'm shopping at a barn, I'm wearing something an animal might want to don. Like a cool new saddle. Or a horseshoe.
There must be something good about the place. According to that Wikipedia article, they have over 800 stores. Does Dress Barn offer really good deals? Are their clothes exceedingly unique? Or do they simply cater to the kind of women who don't care about living in barns? The world - or at least I - wants to know.

I've wondered about that name myself. Apparently they had just enough common sense to not call it Dress Sty.

When I think of Dress Barn, I think of fat, frumpy women. It's not a bargain store, but it's not a Bloomingdale's either. Maybe a fat, frumpy version of small store? Just one woman's opinion...
