When I am shopping for my lady friend, I go to Victoria's Secret.

I prefer VS since there is one locally, while Fredericks in 80 miles away...

About the VS demographic, the CEO of Limited Brands (owner of VS) said recently that the brand had gotten too "sexy" and that they were going to try to go back to a more feminine, wearable range of clothing and lingerie. I don't know if that means they are changing their size ranges, the web site seems to go to DD (but not all styles), but none of the ladies mentioning the issue said what size they wore. I didn't know that DD wasn't big enough, but DW is a B cup so I never really paid much attention.

If I am looking for something really sexy I go to FH but I do agree the quality isn't there. If I want something that feels nice and is better quality then it is VS or I go to Macy's. I can't stand fabric that doesn't feel good to sleep in. Even the cotton is smoother at VS. JMO

I buy bras at Torrid too. They don't really have "pretty"...but they do have functional quality and at least don't look like your grandma's bras. Can't shop Vicki's because if you're above a D-cup (and I'm WELL above that) you don't matter. I've bought bras and lingerie at Freddie's too, but agree that I don't think the quality is that great. At least not for the bras. Lingerie has held up better, but I don't wear it nearly as often. But I also buy Cacique bras and undies. Good quality i've found.

On a slightly side note, I've always wondered why Vicki's doesn't move into larger sized bras. You'd think there'd be a great market for it -- us girls with the huge ta-tas want pretty things too. I have quite a few female friends who are DD's or DDD's and we've all expressed the same feeling. And Freddie's is a bit strange because you buy the larger cup size...DD and DDD...but it's harder once you get above a 38 band size.

Funny thing...I was searching online for bras and ran across a site that has 28 DDD bras!!!! All could think was... "Who are these women buying this size...and how on EARTH do they manage to stay upright??" LMAO
