For the quality, their bras are overpriced. They are also under the misconception that the largest cup-size is DD.

@ NurseKitty
I regularly pay $50-$70 for my bras. I'm not happy about it, but I've learned that you do not find well constructed bras in the H-I-J-K range in Target or Walmart.

I go when they're having their semi-annual sale - makes it far more affordable!

I don't ever shop there because I can't afford it even though I know that the bras from there are supposed to last longer.

I go to look around but have not brought anything from there in years.

I used to like VS more than I do now, there a couple of things that have turned me off to it in recent years. My partner is plus-sized and so she can't find anything there that really fits her, so that's strike one, I feel like the quality has declined slightly from what it used to be (even though the price has remained higher)...and I'm just not really all that jazzed about that, plus it seems to me that most of their lines are starting to cater to a younger crowd, and while I'm not exactly old, it's a little weird to walk into a store being mobbed by 12-16 year old girls.

I don't usually get my bras there, only during the semi-annual sale. At that point the prices become reasonable, and I can get a few in some cute prints. So, for bras I don't go often. However, I absolutely love their yoga hipster underwear! They're really comfortable and designed to not give you panty lines through yoga pants, which is a plus. I usually grab a bunch when they have the 7/25 deal, and I've never had an issue with poor construction or anything like that.

VS is a bit too pricey.

Seems like they have changed a lot lately. They used to have a better selection of different things, but now it's all about the same. (And I hate those molded-cup bras! They are not natural or pretty looking at all!) And as someone else said, the prices are outrageous. We have just as good luck at Macy's or even JCP. (no, really!) Or on line. I think "her room" was a good find.

I go time to time.

I chose other for this reason. I live in a small town so VS is way too far away, but I do shop there online. I have a VS club credit card and get offers in my email all the time so when it is time to order a new bra I'll use a discount that's offered at the time.

They are the only place that I've found that carry my size 32AA that are sexy and don't look like a little girls training bra. I'm 30 and don't want a kiddish bra; I can't help that I'm so small chested.

I bought a great push up bra and panty set for...$50 through the online store with some sale they were having a year ago. Really good quality, but not really in my budget.

I know it's good quality stuff, but the prices drive me crazy!

Thats odd Nora, I am a 34D and they always have a decent selection of every bra in the store in my area. But then again I do live in the...ahem "enhancement" capital of the USA

I have a friend who loves it so I'll tag along with her from time to time. But for me it's a bit too overpriced and I have a hard time finding things that fit right or look right on me.

I've heard H&M is great for bras, I guess I need to check it out!

I agree, what's up with the CUTEST, best made stuff only being in sizes 36C and under?

But, I also don't need a bra that requires a flux capacitor to function. Just need to cover and lightly support the chicas. ... more
I adore T-shirt bras, and Target actually has a really great T-shirt bra, too!

I thought I was a 38C and VS told me I was something like a 40DD? No maa'm! My girls are great, but not THAT great. I like the idea of only getting two bras per year, and my VS have lasted me a really long time.. but with everything in the store, I'm just lost most of the time and have to ask for help I may eventually give up my pride and go buy one, if not just for the fact that they HAVE lasted me a while in the past.. Maybe go somewhere else for my measurement though.

I get my girlfriend perfume from there. I feel like the prices are pretty standard, at least for the perfumes. Not sure about the other stuff.

I have bought some pieces from them online, but they have little that fit my figure (D cup).

Since I would probably find sexy stuff in Lane Bryants, or other plus size store that would fit better; for the same type of expense. I don't see any reason to shop there.

some of the stuff is way overpriced. I used to like them more about 6-8 years ago. I am just not liking the style direction they are going in with alot of their stuff.

Really pretty, but overpriced and not great quality. Wait for online sales, THEN you get a deal. Also for good pushup 'everyday' bras, try Target!

WAY over priced.

I think they're way overpriced and the quality of their merchandise is still only average. I love Fredericks, actually, and they're usually cheaper than VS but still have beautiful stuff with great detail. Besides, a large percentage of VS bras are pushup and I don't need any more padding!

I go to VS when I have a coupon for something free, but I don't bother to shop there for lingerie anymore because I just don't think they're all that special. I give the body products as gifts because for some reason, people love to see a VS bag and get a gift of whatever's inside.

I used to love to go to Vickies. (My husband thinks it's funny that I call it that. He also "shhh"es the family when a VS commercial comes on and then says, "Best. Commercial. Ever." (eye roll))

But, money is much tighter than it used to be. I have found that Kohls has a wonderful foundations department, with good quality bras and night gowns and lingerie (which I can try on my short but Zaftig little body) so I usually buy my underwear there, now.

If VS has an other "5 panties for $15.00" I'll be there to buy cotton bikinis in a second!

I almost always forget to get my free panty. The coupon cards come in the mail and I put it where I will remember it, then I leave it. *sigh*

Oh heavens no. Victoria's Secret bras are crap.
