Are Victoria's Secret bras worth the price? - Page 2

No, I wear a 38 DD or DDD depending on the bra maker but VS seems to run pretty small so their DD feel like a D to me and just ain't no where near fitting me.
That being said I have a few and I don't feel they are worth the money.
For bigger chested gals I recommend Lane Bryant.
No idea about the smaller bras.

I'm small and I've bought VS bras before, but I find myself liking the ones from Marshalls and TJMaxx better...I guess I just get lucky there. Most VS bras just don't fit me right...I like convertible ones though...Panties on the other hand are from VS (but only during their summer sale).

I feel that VS bras are great for smaller bust. I'm a 32 D and they try to place in a 34 D but they do not support my full chest! Not sure where to purchase great support bras for a small frame....any Ideas???

I don't think they're worth it. I've had VS bras and other brands like Maidenform and find no real difference. In fact, my favorites are not my VS ones. Really, it's such a personal choice because we all have our own "requirements".

They just don't seem to stand up to every day wear.

they dont last as long as they should!!

i only have one vs bra, but i love it! it's so comfortable and fits me perfectly. i got it on clearance for $12, so that made it all the better. i've had it since the beginning of the year, and so far no signs of wear, same with my panties.

mommmmy · **As far as VS goes..**

I have never had any help in deciding my size or style, only to get what I ask for specifically. I am pleased with what I have bought there, but like the Kohl's sale racks too. Not gifted in that department, so the size has not been an issue for me.
You ladies to know that you should not wear the same bra two days in a row, nor should they be dried in the drier. They actually recommend hand wash, but I don't go that far! My bra's have lasted longer since I started following these rules....Think I saw this on Oprah.

I've had the wires in my underwire VS bras BREAK. VERY painful. Very. It was under so many layers that I didn't even realize at first what had happened. And this was in multiple bras, and I wasn't a big cup, either, so was annoying, for how much I paid for them. Its' been years since I've done VS, I prefer Maidenform bras. Once I'm done nursing, going to go back to those. So comfy!!

I used to shell out the $$ for the VS bra because I thought they were the best, but then the last two had the wire come out and I found some great looking bras for $10 at Target that look the same as VS....and for $10 each I figured it would be OK if they did not last as long. Imagine my surprise when the Target bras are outlasting the VS bras. I say, go to Target and get almost the same thing for less, its worth it!
