The maternity line isn't called Forever 21. Forever 21 is the name of an affordable clothing store.

Forever 21 is not designer clothing. It's cheaply made clothing. Very affordable and trendy.

Women of all ages will buy from this maternity line if they have trouble finding maternity clothes small enough to fit them.

Plus, trendy isn't a bad thing. I'm in my 40s, and I most certainly don't dress preppy! LOL

And I wouldn't have spent money on designer maternity clothes. Seems a waste of money to be since you only wear them for a few months.

I prefer to invest money into better made clothing when I'm not pregnant.

If there is outrage, it won't hurt Forever 21. Forever 21 is benefiting from all of this free publicity.

I'm sure there are many adult pregnant women who planned to visit Forever 21 after hearing/reading this news story.

I never thought of Forever 21 as being a teen store anyway. I thought of it as being a store for people who wanted inexpensive trendy clothes. I agree that this is one of those non-stories that are frequently used to keep a 24 hour news stream going.

Lately that seems to be all that is available.

'The Issues'--Racism, domestic violence, teen pregnancy, gender issues, insanity

Most interesting news today--the weather.

I agree; there are probably a lot of women out there who haven't shopped at Forever 21 lately who are now thinking: hey! a new, cheap alternative for some nice maternity clothes to see me through the next several months! (not to mention mothers or grandmothers who are looking to buy their pregnant daughters/granddaughters a little something fun; I know both my mom and grandmother both bought me some things when I was pregnant, and both commented on how much better the selection of maternity clothes is now than it was when they were younger)

Definitely a non-story, except for those who are in need of maternity clothing and now know that some Forever 21 stores now offer it.

Why am I thinking you don't miss a thing?

I shopped at Forever 21 before I was pregnant (after 21) When I got pregnant the "cute" maternity clothes were not in my price range so I just ended up wearing plus sized clothes.

I don't have an issue with them having a maternity line.

It is just joking having maternity clothes for teens. Today I do not know how these types of maternity stores are running. But some how we have to run with time.
