When was the Company founded?: 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.
Over the years, Dress Barn, Inc. became a fundamentally different company that extends beyond the original dressbarn concept and brand. Following the acquisition of maurices in January 2005 and Justice in November 2009, we have become a family of retail brands each serving a unique customer niche.
