Investor FAQ
In 1962 Roslyn Jaffe, mother of three, opened the first dressbarn store in Stamford Connecticut. At a time when women were wholly underrepresented in the workplace, Roslyn dared not only to work, but also to launch a new era in women's fashion.
A year later, the second dressbarn store was opened. Soon after the inception of the business, her husband, Elliot, joined Roslyn. Together, they built the business as well as a reputation for quality, style, value, and customer service.
