Comments
Hi Joanna. I don't know for sure if Walmart still carries this line. At this point, it doesn't sound like they do. I think it's going to be difficult to locate Bobbie Brooks items except on auction sites like eBay at this point. Sorry!

-- Contributed by: joannaHi Bonnie. From what we've been able to determine, Bobbie Brooks discontinued their pants line. At this point, you may be able to find them on eBay or similar auction sites, but finding any that are new isn't very likely. Sorry!
