In the fourth quarter, the special occasion, bridesmaids, and bridal categories delivered positive mid-teens year-over-year net sales growth. However, the separates and shoe categories continued to weigh on performance, driving the majority of the year-over-year net sales declines. The special occasion and bridesmaids categories contributed to strong performance, while the separates and shoe segments were soft. The special occasion and bridesmaids categories accounted for a significant portion of the revenue, with their positive growth offsetting the softness in separates and shoes.
