Vickies or Freds??

[KarenC725]

So this may seem like an odd topic but...

Do you prefer Victorias Secret or Fredricks of Hollywood? Personally, I think a lot of Freds stuff is trashy so its Vickies for me but one of my friends and I just had this discussion. She says there are a lot of "closet" fredricks shoppers out there. Are there?

Just a vent, I hate the semi-annual sale. I tried to place my victorias secret order January 4 and they were out of most stuff. Now I'm getting a refund check.

I like Victoria's Secret best because I can always find pretty, high-quality lingerie. I've been in Frederick's and bought a couple of things, but I had to really look to find what I wanted. There is a lot of tacky, trashy stuff in there that just looks cheap!

[Parsifal]

Most of the stuff at Fredrick's is really trashy. I suppose if I went in and looked I might find something wearable.

Thong elephant underwear for men, though?? That's so tacky.

the only upside to Fredericks is they do carry a big selection of D and up cup sizes. Victoria's Secret does not--only ever has plain white or some horrible print in those sizes.

I agree with amycat, I can never find a cute bra that fits in VS, so mine come from Freds, but alot of the other stuff there is trashy-perfect gifts for bachlorette parties though!!

[Sisterplum]

I agree with amycat too! I can rarely find some different bras at VS....but at Frederick's they carry my size!

Plus my husband loves their stuff...he's so more into the kinky lingerie than the sweet look (but he doesn't mind the VS stuff too...just likes Frederick's better!)

If there was a Frederick's here in Tally, I know I'd shop there more!

[valkyrie]

Wow, I didn't know that Freds was good for D and up sizes -- I've never been in there because I always found it frightening. Maybe I'll check it out sometime.

I've found some cute VS stuff in DD over the years, but there's not enough, anywhere. Why is it that whenever I go to Marshall Field's, the only things I can find are black or white? Why is it that all the really cute stuff is for like A & B sizes? Why??!!!

[tridelta4ever]

Well... I personally prefer Victoria's Secret, because they have a great selection of high quality lingerie, bath&body items, and awesome pajamas. I do find some of the stuff to be a little bit overpriced, so I usually wait for the twice yearly sale and go crazy with the plastic. Very fun.

I should also point out that my favorite thongs in the world have come from Fredericks! They're cotton and last forever! I'm not really into the trashy feel of the place, but sneaking into the mall on a Wednesday morning or something will ensure that no one will give you funny looks. Better yet, get a catalog and order from home.

By the way, does anyone know of other places - even online - where we can get our skivvies? I would love to hear your ideas.

Thanks!

I love Vic's underwear but I also have trouble finding my bra size there. I see D's..but they look more like B's. I love Vic's gowns and pajammas too! I have this crazy outfit I bought from Frederick's a few years ago - although my bf at the time liked it - I felt like a porno star. I did see some lingerie in Lane Bryant's window once and I went in...and they have the prettiest bras - in a D cup! The underwear and stuff is way way too big but if you are chesty - they have the cutest bras!

When I was shopping for my wedding, I looked everywhere for a pair of panties to match the bra I was wearing under my gown. I could NOT find what I was looking for! Finally, out of desperation, I wandered into Frederick's of Hollywood. I was standing there just kind of staring at the satin cowgirl and french maid outfits when this little, grandmotherly woman came up to me.

Woman: "Can I help you find something, dear?"
Me: (Thinking maybe this wasn't so bad if this cute little old lady worked there) "I'm looking to buy a pair of white silk panties"
Woman: "Crotchless?"
Me:

[juniorgrrl]

ROFL, Tracy! That is hilarious!

I drag my BF in Fred's and dare him to try on the male undies that look like aligators (part of the jaw is meant to hold, y'know or chickens. But otherwise, the stuff looks pretty trashy.

I love the VS semi-annual sale. I just cannot justify $50 for a bra. But I got a water bra for $12.99 last week. Yay me!

Gotta hit that sale early, though. When tropical storm Allison hit LA last summer, my town got flooded, and many people were stuck at home. I had to work that day, but when I got to the mall, my store was closed. So I got to hit the VS semi-annual sale on the first day, hours after it started. I cleaned up that time

[tridelta4ever]

Killarney ROSE! Your post left me in stitches!! I could just picture you there with your eyes popping out of your head...lol.

Everytime I have gone in there, the counterperson has been some snotty high school girlie who was talking on the phone the whole time. God forbid I would actually need help. Then again, I would much rather be left to my own devices than have to explain my sexual paraphanalia needs to somebody's grandmother!! CREEPY CRAWLIES just thinking about it.

I prefer Vickies, over anything else. Vickies is mostly classy and it's just so pretty . I think the Freddies stufff is kinda trashy like someone mentioned before.
I think Vickies has a more romantic look to it. I also like there clothes too, the clothes they have are pretty c;assic as well (not all, but most, lol) I ordered my Formal dress from vickies and have been set with them since then

I find Frederick's to be a little too trashy. I like the nighties and lingerie at Victoria's because it's sexy without going overboard.
