Can you buy Victoria's Secret stuff in the UK?

Been looking at the American website and I LOVE the look of the clothes. I don't really fancy ordering online from America... Imagine if it didn't fit!

Thanks!

Hey - not in the UK - I'm actually in Dublin.

I have bought LOTS of VS clothes online from the States - as I do really like some of their things.

However, sometimes you have to pay customs on the goods when the arrive so just something to be aware of.

They do tend to be quite big fitting - so if you decide to buy - maybe size down.

As an American (a kind of thin one), I think their clothing is tight fitting but I also think that of Boden clothing too.
My only advice about VS is that you should stick to Cotton and natural fabric clothing since any blends are cheap looking and terribly so. I do love their fitted cotton hoodies though...

Like Marthastewart I have bought from VS online loads of times.. I have always had to pay customs duty on them which makes them pretty expensive and really winds me up (LOL)

but their bras are second to none .. I am also addicted to their yoga pants ....

Wish we had a way to buy from US websites...or we had a store over here...

It's funny - the Victoria's Secret Catalogue just arrived today! Just to lure me back...

Also consider the dollar sterling conversion rate - for me it is dollar euro which used to be favourable...

Ooh and just on sizing - I am a european size 6 and find their xtra small usually works for me - hope this helps

I get all my knickers and camis from VS, as they have great styles and colours. But I have to rely on DH shopping for me when he goes to the States.

The catalog and the stores are DIFFERENT companies (really) with the stores having much better quality knickers & bras.
