Default So intimidated by Vickie's

I never really shopped in Victoria's Secret except for the fragrances because I was obese and didn't want to be stared at. I got one of those free panty coupons in the mail and decided to go in even though I was unsure about how I felt. It was an ok experience. I definitely was uncomfortable and wanted to get out quickly but I would go there again if the price is right. It kind of feels like I just stepped out of my shell a little.

Good for you! Stepping out of your shell is a great victory!

And it's just a store. I used to shop there when I was a smaller plus size. Don't let it intimidate you.

GL!

Eh, don't let it intimidate you, it's just a store!!


Personally, I'm not a fan because I've had some bad experiences with rude sale girls and they don't now how to size women there into bras that fit (AND they don't carry the larger cup sizes/lower back sizes) but I'll save my rant for another day.

Even when I was thinner, because my girls were too big (size 40 F), I could not wear VS bras. Once I had breast reduction surgery (now 38C)and CAN wear VS bras, I find that for what they charge, the quality and support is not very good (my opinion). I do love their cotton panties though. The store does give out a Skinny B**** vibe.

As much as I love Victoria's Secret and I love the fact that I can finally wear their stuff...I do have to admit that the vibe in there is kind of chilly. I find that they either ignore me completely or follow me around like I'm going to steal some panties or something. Weird. I do love their PINK line though and it's pretty inexpensive compared to the rest of the store. Also...sweatpants!
