First of all, I would like to say that victoria's secret models are actually healthy looking, and look fit, rather than emaciated as high fashion models are. Victoria's models are notorious for their curves. Overweight women don't have curves, they have fat. There's no reason every sensible woman shouldn't look like one of them. I think eating right and having good muscle tone is nothing that should be looked down upon. The only reason someone could call them genetic freaks is due to the fact that compared to the rest of the increasingly obese population they are few. Plenty of "normal" women look like they do and worked hard for that body. Secondly, victoria's secret is often a last resort for me. Having DD boobs requires a better quality bra than I can find in a department store. A bra labeled as a DD in a place like walmart is so tiny, it barely covers my breasts, resulting in embarrassing spillage that i like to call the 'four boob effect," and the straps cut painfully into my shoulders. Victoria's secret knows what they are doing, making comfortable bras that take all that weight off my back and give amazing support. Maybe the small boobed population can get away with a department store bra, but they simply don't work if you are a D or bigger. They also last forever: ones I bought in high school are still going strong years later, and don't look a day over new. The bottom line is that victoria's secret is worth the money, the garments are not useless, and I certainly look very sexy in their very practical lingerie.

I ordered a few of their sale bras online and all I can say is the quality has gone DOWN.Where there used to be a gel pad(when ordering the same style previously) was now cheap foam and the fabric split into a gaping hole on the cup. The wire poked through on 2 of them within a month. I hand wash.I'm not impressed.I shop TJ Maxx now and find department store brands(Still better quality than Victoria's) for a LOT less money.

Most women who can afford a 50 dollar bra can afford a 100 dollar bra that is of higher quality, available in a wider range of sizes, and more appealing to a discriminating buyer. VS has lost many customers who have discovered better (luxury) brands at Nordstrom or online at sites such as Figleaves. Will VS survive tough times? That remains to be seen, but it is not a secret that their core customer has aleady gone elsewhere.

Why don't women buy regular bras and panties for say washing their car, doing yardwork,etc and save the high-priced undergarments for special occasions? I don't see a thing wrong with buying VS or other high-end brands for special occasions and buying Wal-Mart or other plain-jane brands for everyday use.

I don't wear my dress shoes to do yardwork and I don't wear a dirty old pair of tennis shoes to a wedding or a funeral.

VS models ARE hot and when I was their age, I was hot too. At any age, VS bras are very comfortable and are high quality garments. Let's be honest; everyone ages and most of us don't like it. But it's a part of life. You can be in shape and enjoy your body and the way it looks or you can let yourself go and not feel so great about yourself. It's up to you. At 52, I still enjoy VS jeans and some of their clothes. Not everyone likes the Liz Claiborne line, even tho I do, I say let everyone have their opinion. It's like an elbow, right? ... everybody has one. :)

the lingerie is designed to make you feel sexy and seductive. Dress for yourself, not to impress those around you. If you don't feel good about yourself, material isn't going to produce the magic you seek.

To each their own- Sometimes I shop at the mall, sometimes at Wal*mart, and sometimes at Dallar General. Sometimes the product name is an issue and sometimes the price determines where I shop, either way there are plenty of wise shoppers out there; Many us shop where we want to go, not where we are told to go. More power to the women who want, can and do shop at Victoria's Secret.
