to ask you to explain to me the big deal about victorias secret

[lovelyconverse123]

(apparently) hugely anticipated shows & the aspirations of so many females to win (what is perceived to be in some circles) the ultimate crown of being an angel ????

PUKE at the hollowness of it all.

[SaucyJack]

Autocorrect of the day RJ.

[BarbaraofSeville]

They don't do my size so I've never paid them any attention even though there is a store in my city. I'm also really put off by use of the word panties on their website.

[MrsTerryPratchett]

And they plaster their awful ads all over their shops, neatly demonstrating to 4 yo DD what society thinks of women.

[IShouldBeSoLurky]

Their cotton knickers are the dog's bollocks. And I read on the bra intervention board on Reddit recently that they're sorting out their sizing, so live in hope.

[RJnomaaaaaargh]

I'm in Scotland I guess there's none here yet - I will have a look though thanks

[blueshoes]

VS is British? I associate that sort of marketing with the US but what do I know?

VS looks a bit cheap and tacky to me.

[Namechangenell]

I live in the US and just don't get the fuss. The adverts look like they're filmed in a cross between a brothel and a nightclub. I'm petite and their stuff would likely fit me - the shops just seem a bit ick...

[PatricianOfAnkhMorpork]

oh and they wash really well too. Mine are all beautifully made as are the matching knickers.

Not cheap as I'm paying minimum £40 a bra but they last and last.

[PatricianOfAnkhMorpork]

Don't really care about the catwalk stuff but its the only place I buy my bras now as they really are the best I've ever owned apart from Rigby & Peller. Don't care how they are measuring me either but these fit me properly, don't dig in at all and make my boobs look fab.

There are 10 stores around the UK now and more opening. Unfortunately you can only buy them online from the US and have them shipped over.

[EnthusiasmDisturbed]

they do not make bras in big cup sizes

knickers are ok but lots of the stuff is really cheaply made and very over priced

it is so hard to get anything above an E cup in the states

[CuthbertDibble]

There's a branch at Brent Cross too, I have a few bras from them, all in the same style, and they are really comfortable.

[TriJo]

Westfield Stratford has a big branch, not sure where else.

[RJnomaaaaaargh]

My ddd my mum would not be amused if my dad started wearing them

[RJnomaaaaaargh]

Where do you buy them in the UK? My dad would love some but postage was about £50

[TheLuckDragon]

I don't get the fuss with the models but their bras are amazing and the only ones I will wear. They are the only bras that make my boobs touch!

[InMySpareTime]

They still use the outdated "add inches to the band" method of bra sizing, so their bras (as fitted by them) don't even slightly fit. They don't even fit the models!
DD and I usually comment on the ill-fitting bras in the posters, the way you can see light under the band through the cleavage on them because the band is far too big and the cups are far too small. If you want a bra that's two cup sizes bigger, your best bet is to get fitted at the likes of Bravissimo or John Lewis.

[Enjolrass]

I actually love VS.

I am neither a teenager or a size 0.

Their pants are comfy and wash really well and their sports bras are the comfiest I have ever worn.

I wear sports bras all day so have tried most brands.

I do not get the excitement over the shows nor I have ever watched one.

I usually stock up at an outlet if we are in the US, much cheaper.

[OfaFrenchmind2]

I love the bras: good size system for a good price, and very comfortable.
I like to see the show, it's just very pretty, and the jewellery fantasy bras are beautiful to look at, nothing more to it.

[AdoraBell]

Wasonthelist years ago I bought some underwear from them while on holiday. The assistant told me they sell loads because they say they are a British company, but they aren't really. That might explain why people assume you know all about the company.

I think she felt it was safe to tell me as it was in a tourist area, so I wasn't going to be telling anyone who would matter.

[cth1982]

their big cotton knickers are fantastic and the odd bra is good but never buy full price!

[MrsTerryPratchett]

You can't date whatshisname from Maroon 5 unless you've been one. Although I wouldn't touch him with someone else's barge-pole.

[Lostcat2]

Completely agree op.

To be honest my prettiest smd cheapest undies come from
Primark.

Find VC very overpriced.

[iwantbrewstersmillions]

Don't care about the Angels but their bras are amazing.

Only ones I wear.

I also have one of their bras that adds two cup sizes which is quite funny as they look fake but used to fun for my clubbing days ;)

[TriJo]

They don't make my size in bras, therefore I won't give them a penny for anything else. It's that simple really.

[Seriouslyffs]

They do a big range. DDs wear skanky pants from there and I get nice biggish cotton ones. Their bras are great and padded thick- so no scratchiness.
