Oh, Victoria's Secret, why?

I thought they sucked when they stopped manufacturing clothing because some of my favorite tops & dresses were from there but now that will stop with swimsuits too!
VS will no longer sell swim

WHAT? Well I have to say though I have been favoring Venus swimwear lately anyway.
But now they are just selling lingerie?
Their panties suck and are overpriced.
I'm done with them

You just reminded me, I want to order a swimsuit from venus that I was eyeing last night. Yep, their bra straps stretch out even though their bras are like $50. Quality sucks.

Love VS swimsuits. Just ordered a few a couple of months ago for my upcoming vacation. They hit the right spots.

Their panties suck. the sizing sucks. It is not made for girls with booty. Im skinny but I have booty. They always cut my butt in half. And get holes in them. HORRIBLE quality. And they are totally overpriced!

I guess this means they wont be airing the annual Swim Special on tv anymore. Chat Icon I enjoyed watching all the behind the scenes stuff about how they shoot for the catalogues and learning about the models.

That sucks! I used to love VS dresses and swim suits. Though I haven't really shopped there since they stopped selling clothes.

so basically they are catering to the younger market with their PINK stuff and their workout gear/ lounge wear.

Re: Oh, Victoria's Secret, why?

I've been done with them since they stopped selling clothes. Screw them and their 14 year old models half naked in their ads.

They can keep their over priced cheaply made clothes and continue to cater to teens.

This company angered me so much because of their blatant stupidity. They had an excellent business model and they continue to screw it all up.

I believe that the Express Editor pants are pretty much the same.
I read that somewhere.

They also stopped selling this perfume gift set that I loved. That would've kept me shopping there - but now I'm done too.
