Very Unsatisfied

I purchased 3 body bras @ the traverse city mi store and tried to
return them within a month of purchase and a bottle of rapture the 1.7
spray,the bras fell apart and the spray would not spray anymore. the
girl at the counter told me they were old ( I dont think within a
month that is old)I wash my bras by hand and hang them up to dry. At
that time I only owed $20.00 and told the girl I refused to pay the
20. now they sent me a bill for $128.00 I payed $40.00 and refused to
pay and more,I will never shop at victoria's again I have spent alot
of money there and will never again ,I was so embaressed, on how

you purchase, now I have 3 bras and a bottle of cologne I cannot use
and a $90.00 bill. sincerly jeannette norton 7132 skegemog

YOU KNOW MELISSA I THOUGHT A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH
JUST WHAT YOU EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY ME! SINCE NO-ONE SEEMED
TO HAVE THE COMPLAINTS I DID! I HAVE STOOPED SO LOW AS TO GO TO A FLEA
MARKET THAT SELLS NEW BRAS HERE IN SAN ANTONIO,TEXAS.THEY ARE THE
QUALITY OF TARGET AND THE PRICE OF FLEA MARKETS :)!!!! AT THIS AGE OF
MY LIFE I FEEL I HAVE INVESTED ENOUGH MONEY INTO "UNDERGARMETS"; AND
MY HUSBAND IS JUST AS HAPPY NOT TO HAVE TO GO INTO VS OR ANY OTHER SO
CALLED EXPENSIVE STORE (I TRIED J.C.PENNEY FOR AWHILE) FOR SEXY BRAS
AND PANTIES! TO BAD CUZ I REALLY LOVED THEM AND THE PERFUME THEY
DUMPED FOR ANOTHER LINE OF SMELLY FLOWERS! I CRIED OVER THAT ONE!

You don't go into enough details Melissa, so let me try to explain
some of the information that may help you.

First, Victoria's Secret really does make some of the best bras within
the industry. However every lady is different. This refers to the
non-subjective details such as cup size and chest measurement, but
also the subjective issues such as amount of support.

Most ladies using underwire bras are more full chested; large B, C or
D cup to be sure. As such, many ladies find it is helpful to have
larger, padded shoulder straps and a shift of support to the back of
the bra. This helps relieve the stress placed on the underwire
support system. However, it also means dressing a little more
conservative to not show such a underclothing support system.

At Victoria's Secret, you'll find what is referred to as the "Secret
Seven" collection. This is a collection of seven different bra styles
that most women cannot live without. With this collection, most women
will find a bra to be used during the daytime for work, on the
weekends for relaxation or in the evenings on the town.

Start with The Emma Collection, a Racerback full coverage bra I'm sure
you may like. This bra is created with imported nylon and spandex.
It has a full back support system, with front closures. The shoulders
are full support and the front is full coverage.

This is, of course, only a suggestion. Getting a professional fitting
is the best to determine the best bras for each body type. Either a
lady or gentleman can give you this information. Some gentlemen are
even better at this because they know better what a gentleman's eye
prefers. If they are properly trained in a good support system, you
can receive the necessary information which makes you both comfortable
and attractive.

This is important, based upon your conserns, because you may very well
be waring the wrong type of bra. You'd be surprised as to how many
women misjudge this important part of their wardrobe. This can be
very much why you are comparing Walmart with Victoria Secret
products.

Washing is also equally important, as you have pointed out. Although
you don't refer to the way you actually wash your bras. With only
four bras, you would be washing them very frequently, as they should
be cleaned after each full day of wearing. Hand wash only.
Gentleness is the key. The underwire support system and material
require this and without such, will wear quicker especially will how
often each of your bras are being worn.

It is true that Victoria's Secret will generally not return most
items, especially once they are worn. I think you can understand the
difficulty in reselling such an item, unless you are asked to supply a
photo and the item is sold on eBay (tongue in cheek).

Please consider a professional fitting and enlarging your selection of
bras. Generally speaking, seven or more bras within your wardrobe
should be considered normal.

I hope this helps a great deal.

I never buy multiples of a bra until I've bought one and worn it a few
times to see how comfortable it is after wearing it all day.

Wouldn't you do the same for a $50 bra? I love Victoria's Secret
underwear, stockings, pajamas, sweatshirts, leggings, and more, but
they don't sell a bra that's worth $20, IMHO.

So tell me, why does my bra strap always slide off my shoulder, no
matter how much I tighten it? I hate that, and it happens with every
one of the things I own! :)

superglue.

:-p

I hate that... I'll be lookin' all hot and here I am with my shoulder
strap falling down and I have adjust it. Ugh! It's awful.

try a bra with a wider straps, such as the BBV IPEX Full Coverage or
the Shaping Full Coverage. Or you can look for a bra that has fully
adjustable straps, the type that will adjust right up to the cup. The
Angels Collection has several. Finally, you can try a racerback style
or a bra with straps that can criss-cross or hook together in the
back.
