It was bad enough that they banished fatties from their stores last spring. But now, as Colleen reports, they’re sending plus-sized customers coupons they can’t even use, because they’re only good in-store.

So, Fatshionista readers might recall my excruciatingly detailed comparison of an Igigi dress and a Robbie Bee one, done with an eye to the holidays.
