Although Fashion Bug has closed its doors, you can always find beautiful plus size styles at our sister brand, Catherines. Fashion Bug was the chain that founded Charming Shoppes - and, for many years, was their only brand. The chain, at one point, grew to over 1200 stores nationwide. The stores sold women's fashion and offered apparel and accessories in plus, misses' and junior size ranges. In June 2012, Charming Shoppes announced that Fashion Bug stores would be closing; the final stores closed in February 2013.
