I've never had one. I get all my bras at TJ Maxx for $10 or less. I'm lucky because I barely need a bra to begin with, so fit and support aren't really an issue. Yesterday some friends were raving about the VS bras, but I've never paid over $20 for a bra in my entire life! Are they worth it? Opinions?

Yes they are so worth it to me. I use to get my bras from Marshall's, TJ Max, and ROSS, but I've noticed that the bras I get from VS last the longest, and provide a better fit and 'protection'. Plus my husband loves it, and I just feel different when I wear a VS bra. I just shop their sales every 2 years, and stock up. The ones I have right now, I've had for about 3 years now. and still in great condition.

Personally, I haven't found bras at VS that provide the coverage I like. I tend to bulge out of those with alot of movement. (I am always moving) I found some good Bali bras at Kohls that provide coverage and support. They were around $20 each, but had a special where it was buy 2 and you got to mail in and receive a 3rd one free.

for me yes and that is only cause Thatis the only place I have found ones that fit me! (more cause of my shoulders they are soo small that most straps fall off and I amsoo Uncomfortable! plus I need help finding them and I get that at VS and do not at target or other places. I think if you can find a good fitting one somewhere else its not but idiots like me looking for things like that I need help and so far the only ones that fit me right with out hurting me or making me not comfortable are from there! I know right now I got a couple at target cause I know I am changing this area due to pregnancy I got cheap ones and the fit just is not the same and I got ones that are similar to the ones I get at VS! Does that make sense???

They are great, if you can find a size to fit you. When I was younger and smaller, I bought all my bras there. They fit great and I had them for years because they wore so well. Now that I'm older and bigger, I have a harder time finding something there to fit me. I would definitely check it out though!

Same here. The problem I have with WalMart is that if I find something that I like when I return to purchase another one, it's no longer in stock.

They are worth it to me as well! I got one a few years back & my dog tore it up, so I just went back to cheap Walmart bras that fall apart all the time & dig underwire into you...well at X-Mas my boyfriend got me a $50 G.C. to VS and I got 2 of the "Body by Victoria" bras, they were on sale 2 for $40, yes they are a bit pricier but work great for me, they don't have underwire which I love, and I'm a big girl so its hard to find a bra that fits me, they have one there, it is hard if you are bigger to get things from there but usually not the bras...good luck to you, but you should definatly try one out...I have a coupon for a free panty from VS and $10 off a bra if you decide to try one let me know I will RAK to you :D

I've always had a problem with their fit and quality (or lack thereof), even when I was smaller.
Their undies always got holes easily (even, yes, when handwashed), and I had issues with most of their bras. In fact, I even read something from CR Shopper today that mentioned how they didn't stand up to washing and puckered. It could vary, but I'd try a different brand. They do make pretty ones, though. They just don't seem to stand up to every day wear.

I love VS. The online store usually has lots of collection bras on sale, whereas the regular stores hardly don't. I've had bras from there for years (literally) and they're made to last. I haven't had much luck with their lacey lingerie, it hurts! Anyway, I do, im a big fan of their demi bras.

I do think they are all that but I also want a deal! So I buy my VS BBV bras all on ebay for usually about $15-$20 and of course they are new!
