Srsly, wtf is up with America. I think it's kinda confusing to little Johny that one minute, he was sucking on nipples and the next, they're bad for him, and won't be good until much later.

WTF?!!

imho, it's not our generation that has a problem with it.

Only in America.

I mean, I didn't mind it. With the overall perception from society, though, I am surprised.

You are joking right? All there sizes, like most womens clothing, have gotton bigger just the names have stayed the same. They barely have anything to fit my wife anymore as everything they have, for the most part, is too big.

what size is your wife? their bras start at 32AA and panties start at XS. your wife must be a real tiny girl.

The incredible shrinking woman I'd say. Holy crap.

I can generally find my size, but I know what you mean Mosh. Although I'm not plus sized I still don't think they're a company that's aiming toward the fuller sized / curvy demographic. Hip bones are it I guess. The truth is that the majority of American women aren't always looking for something that's just sexy. They need functionality and versatility as well. I don't need cleavage from the time I wake up in the morning till when I go to bed

Would probably be willing to bet good money it has a lot less to do with generation and a lot more to do with religious zealotry.

They should open an plus size only store and call it "Victoria's Big Secret"

What is the trend called ... Complimentary Sizing? My girlfriend is a 00 or 0, depending on the store. She is a 0 in modern Anne Taylor clothing. If she wears Anne Taylor clothing from 10 years ago, though, she is a size 2. Anne Taylor from 20 years ago, size 4. Being a size 0 back then was ... sickly.

Funny...my fiance, when looking for her wedding dress, was presented with dresses that are considered even more sexy than usual...

yep my wife is the same. She still has size 4 stuff that fits yet now she has to look for 0 or 00. Mind you she has been 90pds 5foot for 10+ years yet she has to keep getting smaller numbers.

Good. Not everyone should wear some of the items they sell

My thinking exactly Bill.

EDIT: fatties in lingerie FTMFL!

Hey now, don't be hatin' on the obese... They sometimes need to pretend to be sexy, too.

funny, my GF has been complaining about them for the last 2 years. She's considered them trashy and worthless, and crap compared to all of the leading Euro brands. She was quite happy when they released this info last week...justifying her rants

nah,

La Perla is top dollar.

But you're right. VS is still over-priced based on their quality

seriously...real women don't want to wear feathers and bejeweled shit, right?

years ago VS was seen as an upscale brand, the quality of their things and some of the fabrics and colors and prints now.. they're more like Fredricks of Hollywood. Fredrick's has it's place but if I'm paying good money for a bra to wear under work clothing I won't be shopping there.

yeah, because someone is overweight means that they shouldn't have pretty underwear and supportive bras.

Please, give them supportive bras. Please.

I don't think this is saying that sex doesn't sell. They've just been selling the wrong kind of sex, like they said. "We will return to an ultra-feminine lingerie brand to meet (customer) needs and expectations." This is kind of a codephrase BTW that their designers are gay men, and that they've been designing according to those ideals of feminine sexuality, a la Sex in the City. There's nothing wrong with it except that their sales are flagging because that's not what women want, especially this size emphasis of being skinnier than a heroin addict. Nor do I see this as a sign of "overweight America," women just like to show off their curves. Marilyn Monroe was a size 14.
