Reba McEntire Officially Launches Clothing Line  3/19/05

Country star Reba McEntire has added another notch in her belt of achievements, after officially launching a new clothing label.

Already an accomplished musician, actress and author the bubbly redhead recently teamed up with American department store chain Dillard's to release her own fashion line, called Reba.

But McEntire admits it was an idea which didn't appeal to her in the beginning.

She says, "We had been looking at getting into a line of clothing years back and it didn't work out. Then Dillard's was very interested in finding someone to bring their clothing line into their store, to start out a new one.

"At first, I said, 'Absolutely not! I don't know anything about fashion. I'm too busy right now.' And then I got to thinking, 'I can add a few things that would help,' 'cause every time I go buy clothes there's something that I have to change or alter.

"So now with this line, I can put in the little things that I like."
