This should make moms around the country rejoice! The roomy, lightweight ensembles that appear on the menopausal mannequins at Chico's are also being worn by a superstar! Well, not exactly, but Debbie Phelps is a star in her own right.

The "fashion" house dressed Deb for all her spotlight appearances while rooting on Michael in Beijing, and now they're coming out with an exclusive Debbie Phelps Collection!

Of course, there wasn't a deal set in place prior to the Olympics, but Deb made it clear to the press that Chico's is the one and only brand for her, even saying to the Pittsburgh Gazette, "I knew I was going to need to be prepared for a variety of events, activities and climates, so I picked key pieces that I could mix and match, dress up and dress down."

We love this! And so will our moms. Chico's is the go-to store when you've run out of Mother's Day or Christmas gift ideas. And now it's got star power!
