Subsequent Event [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	Subsequent Event Subsequent to the end of the Fiscal 2011 Third Quarter we announced that we are undertaking a comprehensive strategic review of our operations to determine how best to enhance shareholder value. As part of these efforts, we announced plans to divest our FASHION BUG business and focus on the growth of our LANE BRYANT^® brand. This review is expected to focus on optimizing the use of our cash position to drive the potential of the LANE BRYANT brand, as well as evaluating other alternatives to further enhance shareholder value. A time frame for the divestiture of FASHION BUG or the completion of the strategic review has not yet been determined. The results of operations of our FASHION BUG business are not reported as discontinued operations as the requirements for treating the business as held-for-sale were not met as of October 29, 2011.
