Default Victorias Secret - 04-01-2008, 11:42 PM

So once upon atime i though this was one overrated store. Then a good friend gave me a gift card ($50) a couple xmases ago. so i get there en am all confused on what to get coz they hv like alot of bras.
so it was after the whole Oprah's r u wearing the wrong bra show that showed that a majority of us are pretty much wearing wrong size bra.so i get fitted en....yeah i too was wearing the wrong size.
So the sales gal brings in all this bras that i try on en am there for a minute.i mean its not as easy as the size u also hv to decide btw demi cup, push up, laced, wireless....
Now this is me... i usually but 15-20 bucks bras from macys, Jc Penny... these bras cost 50 bucks a piece...at this point am like hell no!! but i had been there for a min en the sales gals were so nice en patient i was embarrassed to just leave . So i think i shud get panties instead even kawa cotton panties are expensive 3 for 20 bucks. Anyhoo i settle on two Angles by VS bras for 100 bucks.
OMG....!!!!!! are these bras AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean my boobs were in boob heaven. i cannot even expain the feeling of a perfectly fitting bra. No ridding up, no boob spillage, no side near the armpit bulges....
Now i am a LOYAL VS shopper en yes 50 bucks is expensive for a bra buy why lie.... evrytime they hv a new bra out am there next day to get one. I love the new Biofit uplit coz it does literally what the name says en the secret embrace wow... they also hv one that u can wear in 100 diffrent ways... yes 100 en it works great for wearing with the skimpy cute tops for going out.
I believe that once u go VS there is no going back everything else just doesnt fit en fill right. Any of u ladies feel me??

It bores me to death to read such types of writings and language. People, go to school.

True VS does not hv variety en styles for larger sizes but they also go as large as 40DD on some styles especially the full coverage cups. Hv u ever gone for a fitting? If not maybe Lane Bryant it specializes in large sizes but i dont know about bras.

in that case....i simpathise. however ave seen some shows like What not to wear en they have specialty stores for larger sizes (i cant think of the name now al google later) but they are pretty pricy being that they are speciality stores. But yet again all u need in alteast two nice bras or one even if it means washing en hanging kwa shower rod to dry overnite.

Nice thread.

I don't have small boobs, so ever since I can remember I have always worn the correct bra size very important. Theres a chic who slept over at my place once , I was so damn shocked when she told me she didn't know her bra size. To me correct bra size is like your name, everyone should know their bra size.

So anyway, I love buying Lingerie and since January (no special reason) I buy lingerie every two weeks. My policy in clothing has always been, if you have more , then they wear out less. E.g if you have just 4 bra's how long do you expect them to survive?

Taking care of your lingerie is also very important, like

1. one should hand wash their lingerie in warm or cold water,it keeps the elastic functioning properly.

2. To avoid wear or tear, Soak your lingerie for a day or two prior to washing, which means you sugua them less.

3. also machine wash & dry can cause drastic shrinking back and fourth, giving the impression that you are wearing the wrong bra size.

4. Bleaching agents thin out the fabric. Avoid them.

5. Throw away your lingerie after a year , and buy new ones. If that is an expensive option, then everytime you buy a new one, throw an old one out.

6. Always file your nails A rough nail, will cause a run/tear in a lace panty, and then the panty is as good as useless. There is nothing as hideous as a suruali iko na kiraka .. ama imeshona shonwa.

7. I highly recommend that ladies always wear padded bras with a wire( even if you have big boobs) The pads of course vary in thickness. Your breasts look smoother , lifted and it feels good.

8. Finally, every ladys motto should be "be prepared" don't leave the house in bad underwear simply coz no one can see underneat.. you just never know where you end up Plus I think one feels so damn sexy (especially on the inside ) in good lingerie.


Lingerie here is normally between 40 $ - 60$ in a kawaida shop. Our version of VS , as in the finer shops, just a piece of (bra) goes for 80$ plus. It takes a while to get used to the high prices, but mostly you have no choice but to buy, because we kind of have a monopoly in stores. So if one is a bit price sensitive, you can wait for a sale (discount)

It depends on ones clothing priority or interest. For instance, there are people who don't know that certain bras are only for certain clothes. Also when some people grow or gain weight, in their heads they continue to exist in the same bra size.
