Historia
Roslyn Jaffe founded Dressbarn in 1962 in Stamford, Connecticut, to provide clothing for women entering the workforce. The company became a significant fixture in American shopping malls, eventually evolving into the Ascena Retail Group. In 2019, the brand shuttered its brick-and-mortar locations following a period of declining retail sales. It subsequently transitioned to an e-commerce platform under new ownership, marking a shift from traditional physical retail to digital operations.
